Service item only: Brake duct bezel: Shelby GT (front)

Recommended Posts

The Shelby GT front lower brake duct bezel is now only intended as a service replacement item rather than for new installations. The Shelby GT Brake duct kit is discontinued. Shelby will replace these items with a brake duct kit in the near future.

 

If you recently purchased the Shelby GT front lower brake duct and wish to return it, please contact us and we will be happy to issue you return tags.

lol...."Soon" is a reletive term!

Shelby often used the term soon to mean anything from one day to one year. We're trying hard to get parts in a timely manner.

Robert,

Need to define recently purchased. My purchase was early 2009 and have had them installed since the 2009 Woodward cruise. The hose kit was taken off availability due to further development being done.

 

Saw pictures yesterday of your package but I am kind of hosed due to moving up to the Brenbo brakes where kit has larger hose diameter with the large adapter diameter. Doubt that I want smaller shield diameter (13") for old rotors in order to couple to my bezels. Any options for us hybrid models?

 

Of course I could buy the GT500 hose/adapter kit and then try the plumbling isle at Lowes for an adapter from bezel to the larger hose diameter. Other would be to ship my SGT to Vegas and Supercharge and custmized the connection.

I saw a spy picture of this kit on someones cellphone at Mustang Alley on Saturday.....all I can say is it is real and will be available within a week or two and it should satisfy most.

 

I also hope that replacement hoses will be available separately because we all know the hoses are a wear item and will need to be replaced fairly often.

Saw the same picture on Saturday. Discussion included that old could be taken out and the new put in. Little apprehensive with the detail work required to get the old style in.

 

Parts in the picture look to be quality. Could not easily tell if new bezels will fit the driving lights I installed with the old bezels.

 

Would like optional package for Bezel and hose for matching up to GT500 size shield/adapter that accepts the larger hoses. Number of us have put the bigger rotors and associated calipers which should use the larger diameter shield/adapter.

 

My opinion for what it is worth.

How about a sneak peek of the new offering?

 

 

How about any word on this from someone at Shelby?

It seems like geting them to do anything involving this car is like pulling teeth, and I am sorry I have heard the" we are a small company" thing for the last 4 years, yet new products come out on almost a monthly basis for the gt 500. end rant :rant2:

I checked on this project the other day and it is moving along. Robert will no doubt post when SPP is ready to accept orders for it.

Sure hope option will exist use old original Front Bexel/Duct details to a GT500 Rotor shield. I have upgraded the the Brembo GT 500 Caliper/rotor package and have the original SGT Bezel/air duct kit with the driving lights instalalled. Sure hope they take this into consideration as there are many that have upgraded brakes and have the original kit. :slapfight::worship:

 

Can't be that hard to offer three options!! GT500 Straight. SGT w/ GT500or better brakes, and SGT production.? :doh:

I just received the brake duct kit and fog lights from spp, and I am very happy to report they went back to the original design, this may be old news but just in case here is a quick pick I took today of one of the bezels.

Sure glad you finally got them. It has been a wait.

 

Still like mine, but want to get hoses and adapter/shield to fit to my Brembo GT500 Calipers/rotors.

I have the brembo upgrade also, I really want them for just the fog lights, as i dont think i can make the brake ducts work with the whipple set up.
