denohew Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Just thought you guys would want to take a look at my new creation. As some of you know I also did this to an '11. Well I could not stand it any longer an ordered a stripe delete '13. I had to make a Superman! Using all Ford oem parts.Red Cobra Emblems, stripes and new seat covers with the red stripes. Just thought you might want to take a gander at it! It was a real pain in the **s and expensive but I think it was worth it! I might have the only correct '13 in existance. I had a professional body guy do it. $3500 parts and labor total but I think it was well worth it! What do you think? denohew ( edit ) Sorry guys 2/6/2016 didn't mean to stir you up but this forum was getting so damn boring!( Norton ) you nailed it! ( Robert M ) was hot on my ass! And yes it was a great canvas. I almost had( Torched10 )No unicorn here. ( 2007red40thGT500 ) I do own a "correct"2014" DIB / Red loaded with Recaro's 100 miles.( opposable thumbs ) good one!. ( 1 Alibi 2 ) I think you want to hang me up by my feet and skin me alive! Anyway great exercise men! And you all are all right, I don't care who you are or who you know, Ford will not build a one off for anybody! I am surprised (though) that nobody dredged this post up from the archives. Everybody can breathe easy now and I will be in the corner with my dunce cap on and also at the dunking booth at the local fair! Thanks for playing! Oh, if I would have gotten Recaro's from the factory it would have been way too expensive and too labor intensive to re-skin.Enjoy the Super Bowl! denohew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goin2dirt Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Would never think that would look good. Not that I am seeing it, looks great and I love the fact you are different and probably the only one out there. I like when people make their 500's look different from the rest with color combo's, wheels etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denohew Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 SVT13 I don't like the Recaros. Now lets not move this thread to Recaro's versus regular seats! Personal choice. Drive safe, denohew P.S. The car is loaded except for the glass roof and the Recaro's. denohew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svt13 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Thats fine. I think the base seats are more comfortable I just like the look of the recaros better though. How come you didn't get the base seat up grade shelby sells? Would have been better and cheaper than getting stock seats with red stripes like that.

gearhead09 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I see you already dragged the front spoiler on the ground. Is the ground clearance a lot lower in your opinion or just bad luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denohew Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 OK back in 2007 they made red cobra's with red inserts. Or badges. They are the same size as the currant Shelby. It as easy as removing the black emblems and replaceing them. I think it looks good. denohew P.S. Where is Burning Star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new splitter you lose an inch. So you have 6 inches instead of 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Blue Star IV Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I see you already dragged the front spoiler on the ground. Is the ground clearance a lot lower in your opinion or just bad luck? Although not speaking for Denohew - yes...the ground clearance takes some getting used to. You really have to slow down around crowns in the road (going through a four way intersection) and needless to say entering a driveway or a parking lot. But the look is killer...and if you do scrap it...a bit of sandpaper takes care of it like it was never there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denohew Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hey vapor08GT500, I don't know about your state but it is the law here in the great state of Texas and the cops WILL pull you over! So lets just say that I went to Chili's and had a couple of beers and I get pulled over for no front plate? I am not condoning drunk driving by any means but I am just saying! I don't need the hassle! That was the best mount I found that you dont have to drill any holes! I am legal!!! denohew And Burning Blue Star |V I already have two kids and i am sorry but adoption is out of the Question!!! Thanks for all your hard work a couple of years ago tracking my '11!! This new Shelby is a beast! But you can come to Texas and show me how to work all the bells and whistles on my '13!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
