Grabber08 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Where can a Radiator cover for the GT500KR be found like this or in Carbon Fiber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 The Bangastang cover you show is no longer available unfortunately. The only other options that I know of are from JLT or CPC, however they don’t extend as far into the engine compartment. While Bangastang had their issues the cover was a fantastic piece.

Agreed great piece but horrible custom per service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belltr Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Why doesn't Shelby produce them and have the option of hood latch or no latch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Hendrix at Bang-a-Stang about that when I bought the cover for my Super Snake, he said it would require some sort of magnet because the fiberglass was flat and he had no provision to add a hook or a fastener attached piece to hold the prop rod in place.........But once I drilled down a little bit more, he said it would make the cover look like crap with that prop rod laying across the top of the paint and stripes.......I said, o.k. He said a Black prop rod laying across a Black plastic cover blends in, but not a Black prop rod laying across a Torch Red radiator cover. I ended up putting bolt-in (no drill, no rivets) struts on my 2008 and after getting them installed I asked........Why did Ford put a prop rod on this GT500.......like a Pinto had back in the 1970's?

belltr Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hey Robert, Yes, I could not for the life of me remember the name of it at that time. I also have the struts on my 09 KR, I also Believe they should have came on the car along with more HP.. I would love to have had one of those Radiator covers. Hopefully Shelby will consider producing them. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
