clark17357 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 In the end, it is your car but I vote to leave it as is - there is something elegant about the KR's that I don't think can be improved upon. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belltr Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 They were at carsile and I tried to buy the set that they had their but they would not sell. They actually had thought they would be available the following week and I was ready to buy but now they are not available until the end of August... I am very interested in them for my KR I love the original shelby lights... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it adds that much more to the retro Shelby look. I think Shelby should'a added these to their Super Snakes from the get go. Are they finally available now?

shelbypt Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think they look great at night, but during the day... Well, I think it looks like crap. And for $600, I definitely don't like them. I'm not into the black trim and each side is two pieces not one. I would Not do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually had thought they would be available the following week and I was ready to buy but now they are not available until the end of August... I am very interested in them for my KR I love the original shelby lights... So how did they look in person belltr? More specifically, the trunk section across the top. Is it flush with the indent of the trunk or does it protrude out? I have a concern about how they would look / how flush they would be without the big duckie stuck onto the back side of the trunk. Do the trunk lights line up well with the outboard lights? What were your thoughts on quality? So you'd put them on your KR? This has been on the drawing board for years now and I *like* it.

I actually liked the way they looked in the day. If I remember correctly they told me you can paint it to match what ever color you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them on the Cervini car. It's always reversible.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheppd01 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I ordered them in April and plan on getting them painted. If they ever show up I will post some pics. Are they made by Cervinis or Champion Mustang. I ordered mine from Champion and last time I checked they are listed for $100 less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KR_Mac Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Do you plan on doing the duck wing also or just the lights... seems like it would be off if you just did the lights? Also anyone thought of getting rear tinted lights for the KR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also anyone thought of getting rear tinted lights for the KR? That's the part I don't like, that stOOpid looking duck wing. I'm thinking you could get away without using it. The bottom of the lights (on a 2010+) is what's different and I'm pretty sure you can interchange the 09- and the 10+ rear facia so a person could use the early style tail lights, and/or the Cervani's.

Also anyone thought of getting rear tinted lights for the KR? It would be a big no for me on the duck tail. Although I have always liked the GT500 spoiler better than the V6 one despite the down force testing results. I'd consider changing out to a Ford GT500 spoiler ala the GT500KR reveal show car if it worked better with these lights. I think as long as changes are reversable, no harm is risked. So for me, it's all about how the unit would fit across the top of the trunk indentation. I don't want a big hunk of plastic protruding out past the trunk or the trunk mounted lights not lining up with the outer sections. It looks pretty flush under the duck tail in some of the cervinis pictures. I'm optimistic that those who have seen it in person, like it a lot. Keeping it matte black would tie it into the rear diffuser....but painting it and adding stripes would blend it into the car better. There should be some interesting pictures coming out soon.

SteelTownStang Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I say- go for it. Very unique. As mentioned, you can return the car to OEM if desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt A Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Is the black area around the tail lights smooth or wrinkle finish ? I would want to paint the black area red and add my stripes to the filler panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank bullitt Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 So was just on the Cervinis website......and it looks as though they have LED tailights in stock. Haven't heard much about these lately. Anyone have bigger stones than me and went for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REAL ONE Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 In a word. No. I wouldn't put them on a KR. A KR is a classic and elegant muscle car with just the right amount of visiable brawn. It doesn't look like some hopped up Mustang that belongs to some high schooler. Cervini tail lights are too glitz IMHO and belong on a "look at me" Mustang like the Cervini. I would stay with sequentials and call it a day. But its your car..

sheppd01 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I had an order in but it was canceled. I think they would look great on a KR as it is a similar style that the 68 KR had. I may put in a new order in before Carlisle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank bullitt Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I was thinking about getting them carbon fiber wrapped if i pull the trigger. Think it would look better than matte black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheppd01 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 The last I looked you could order them with matching paint. However they would not do the stripes due to the alignment issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
