maulem5210c Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 Looking into doing a complete carbon fiber replacement of the outside black plastic. Thinking of Trucarbon. What are your thoughts on Trucarbon and the fit? Should I go to Ford and get replacement mounting clips ect. before I start the project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUE 2010 SHELBY GT 500 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 TRUCARBON has a great product, the front splitter which i have from them is a PERFECT fit and you use the stock hardware ,all the holes line up perfect, i also have there rear valance and its another nice piece with a perfect fit ,BUT the rear is a little more difficult to get on , but worth the headache my car in the picture has the front splitter on at the time of the picture but not the rear valance, if you have any other questions just e-mail me with your tel # or i will give you my # jpmarchini@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUE 2010 SHELBY GT 500 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I'm thinking of also doing the front splitter my own self, How much are you guys paying for the splitter. tru-carbons front splitter is around $600 if i remember correctly i have it on the car at least 1 year already , the rear valance is around 1,100 not a cheap part but looks great, and i have not seen one on any other cars YET guys southwestcarbon is not real carbon fiber it is that hydrocarbon , which is like being painted (not really painted but some kind of process that looks like how they do chrome) tru-carbon is real, and the hydrocarbon is just as expensive , compare the prices i did and i would much rather have the real thing if the prices are the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUE 2010 SHELBY GT 500 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Rear Valance is $695 versus $1100,front splitter is $395 versus $600 using original parts which bolt right on. There parts and work is good enough for the 2011-12 Super Snakes from the Shelby factory mod shop. All are original factory parts that can easily be repaired if scratched,damaged,or nicked on a curb as well as they will not fade as real carbon fiber does over time + bonus of choice of colors to match car same price! Sounds like a win,win with alot of $ savings and no fitment headaches or issues. By the way it's Southeast Carbon Works not Southwest LOL ! darth, sorry about that southeast thing, a question for you , i don't remember seeing any rear carbon fiber valances on the super snakes, is that a new option, and if those are the prices that great go for it , but can anyone purchase these parts or are the just for super snake customers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUE 2010 SHELBY GT 500 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 darth , it was nice speaking to you, sa far as the carbon fiber being wraped i really did not know that , you learn something new everyday, my rear valance looks great BUT if i was going to do it over i would skip doing that part anyway like you said TO EACH HIS OWN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
