Lucus42 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I just bought an 09 GT500 it has been in a wreck. The front body pannels and drivers door need to be replaced. Does anyone know if the front end off of a 2010 would fit on an 09? Also does anyone know where I could get a ne3w door and front end?

FiaCobra Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 You purchased it wrecked ? The nose clip is visually different but not sure if it's structually different, if you know what I mean. You should be able to get any part through FoMoCo for a 2007-09 GT-500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUE 2010 SHELBY GT 500 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 every body panel on the 2010 and up is completly different then the 07-09 every panel except the roof , i do not think you can interchange these parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucus42 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I purchased a wrecked 09. It needs new front fenders, bumper, hood, and drivers door. I got a really good deal on it so I will be able to afford to supe it up. I think it would be cool to put a front end off of a 2010 on an 09 :happy feet: Lucus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucus42 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I've been looking at a lot of pics. I think if you use the doors from a 2010 it will work. Lucus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Swapping doors will not help. Even if you could simply 'bolt-on' the fenders and doors from a 2010+ to a 2009 or newer (which I highly doudt you could) the body lines would not match without significant metal work. The back of the doors on the 2010+ 'kick-up' to meet the rear quarter. Additionally, the beltline on the 2010+ is much more exaggerated then the pre-2010. Lastly, the flare of the front wheel wells would conflict visually with rear wheel well. If saving money for power mods was your plan, the cash/time need to make 2010+ sheetmetal work would be counter productive in that respect.

If you want an 2010, sell your 09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalwrench Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 There's a drift Mustang out there, that combined both generations of the S197. If I recall correctly, he used the 2010 front end on the 2009 car. It look alright, but the he had to make custom mounts for them, including a tubular radiator support.

Matts Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Yes it can be done. You're going to need to relocate some of your mounting holes. However the 2010 door interior will match your holes of your 2005-2009 doors. Be warned your body lines will not match...good luck have fun...
