'13 gt500 front end

[1320goat]

Just finished up with the updated grilles and lower spoiler on my '11. This weekend ill be installing a new steeda triple pass heat exchanger with fans. If there is interest I will do a diy write up on it. Let me know what you guys think.

[95V6]

It's gonna look mean! Ill keep an eye out for it this summer, being right down 19.

[BigMack2012Gt]

I'm interested in total cost as i want to do this on my 12 gt

[1320goat]

I'll see you at sonic. I remember your car

It will be more for you. I'm just not sure how much. I'm almost certain you will need rad supports and a few other misc things. If interested, go thru tousley ford. Their prices cannot be beat. Here is the site. Tousleyfordparts.com

[BigMack2012Gt]

ya i have bought from tousleys before. I got a line on a hood and bumper but i need the rest

[Wolfpack Speed]

Sweet!

[Stroked03Cobra]

looking forward to the pics!

[PaxtonShelby]

Cool!

How about info on your car and mods in your signature?

[95V6]

Need pictures of car and mods!

Not to go off topic but, I think I remember your car now parked next to Phil with the Silver GT500 at Sonic. TCTC member?

This the guy? I'm currently trying to come up with a creative banner, but ill put my mods in my Sig for now.

[95V6]

That's him yeah. Banner as in windshield banner?

Edit: I'm guessing signature banner. lol

Haha yep my Sig, I actually have my entire windshield tinted btw. Its not something that's done a lot but it really finishes the look of the car.

[95V6]

Post up some more pictures!

I have mine done also and it makes a world of difference. My cars windows are all pretty dark and you learn to get used to it. My garage queen is double layered 5% all the way around with 20% on the windshield. DD is single 5% all around with 20% on the windshield. Might go down to 5% on my windshield for the cobra though.

[95V6]

I don't understand how you guys don't get pulled over or have problems with inspection. Let alone driving at night!

Oh..I'm not saying I don't get pulled over. I just pay the $109.50 and move on. I have an envelope stuffed full of tickets around here somewhere. I just think it looks ALOT cleaner (as I'm sure 1320goat does also) than having a strip halfway down your windshield. The strip seems to be alot more noticeable to cops also.

As far as seeing, it really isn't as bad as you'd think. Like I said, you get used to it. Just like getting used to a slammed car, catless and straight-thru exhaust, etc.

EDIT: It also has ALOT to do with what vehicle it's being done to. For example, I get stopped about 10x more in the cobra than I did in my TL-S. I planned on coilovers/wheels for the Acura but decided against it just for that reason.

[95V6]

Things we do to our cars to look good, no matter what the cost. lol

Very true!

Usually goes something like:

1. Bills coming up soon

2. Found a great deal on parts I don't need

3. Bought parts I don't need

4. Put it on the credit card

5. Enjoy new parts

:rofl:

Sorry for getting the thread off topic OP. New front end looks great!

[Seer]

Can also just use the 13 GT Hood, in lieu of the 10-13 GT500 hood as a lesser expensive alternative.

My garage queen is double layered 5% all the way around with 20% on the windshield. DD is single 5% all around with 20% on the windshield. Might go down to 5% on my windshield for the cobra though.

On this car I just have 35% on every window. The darkest I've ever been was 5% all around with 35 on the windshield. Living in the south hills and driving thru mt Lebanon can be a pain. I swear those guys have a vendetta against tint. As far as night driving goes its not bad, it really cuts out a lot of glare from oncoming traffic.

[crusher101]

goat. does the glass roof have any effect on the tint with visibility in the car that would have been harder before?

Good question, when I slide my shade back on the glass it doesn't seem dark at all. Which is nice at times, but when I close my shade and all the windows are up you really can't see inside. The glass roof is just awesome I love it

[pwtmxracing]

I've been told that 35% doesn't affect your vision at night.

[1320goat]

New heat exchanger..nice unit. It came polished aluminum but it wouldn't look right with the open grille I put on so I painted it black.

I haven't installed one of those yet but it looks like a nice unit!

I don't think many people have this h/e yet. I know a ton of people went with vans h/e. I took a chance on this one. Its all plug n play, so no splicing wires. When the weather gets warmer ill get some datalogging done to compare iats with vans unit.

ok that really helps me out. now i have a definite decision on whether to get tint or not... cause i have to drive through mt lebo and down corrigan road a lot and was kinda worried about the amount of tix id get.. so im just gonna get my tint and just make sure the roof is open when i go through the areas. thx for the help :2thumbs:

btw those tires you sold me are fantastic highly recommed them. thx again.

Man that looks nice! :goodidea:

I like where this thread is going!

[street591]

I like where this thread is going!

+1 I think the '13 front end is WORLDS different than the '11-'12. Possibly the best shelby front yet!

Moar pics please :goodidea:

[1320goat]

I will post a couple pictures of the h/e install this weekend. Here's a couple pictures from earlier in the year, i'm not sure if I posted them on here before. And thanks for the compliments, it helps me stay motivated to make my car better. :goodidea:

No problem man, i'm glad they worked out for you. Now get that thing tinted! :sticktonge:

[SteelTownStang]

Look forward to the pics. Nice car!

[95V6]

Nice pictures! Is that Mingo Park?

[1320goat]

Nice pictures! Is that Mingo Park?

These were taken on a back road in south park, but it does look like mingo. I've declared tomorrow "me time" between working in the garage and the pens/flyers game..it doesnt get any better than that

[95V6]

Do you live/work in Washington?

[1320goat]

I live in the south hills and have a farm in Washington. So I'm at both places a lot. So right now I have my front bumper at my other garage. I'll be at my home garage tomorrow.

[Wolfpack Speed]

Dude, I love your car.

[PaxtonShelby]

1320 - not sure if I asked you this before or not - are you the original owner? A buddy of mine had the identical car and traded it in with like 1100 miles on it. He loved the car but chose to get rid of it for personal reasons. Just curious if it is the same car.

It really looks great! Keep up the good work!


Edit: oh snap - his car didn't have the glass roof. I can't wait to get mine!

[Darren]

Love the clean non "in your face" look. It looks awesome!!

[Terminated]

Where are you in the South Hills? I think I seen the car out a week or so ago? I am in Brookline near 88.

[1320goat]

Ok, I got the stock h/e off. As you'll see in the pictures the silver condenser rad has to be painted black. So I'm gonna have to turn the heater up in the garage and get back to it a little later.

[95V6]

Nice day out, at least your doing stuff to yours unlike me. I like how your are going black with the aftermarket pieces. I'm not a fan of chrome and flashy.

[1320goat]

Ok, New h/e is in...but there's a slight issue. With the pump is located, it will definitely be noticed thru the new upper grille. We will see what it looks like when I get the front end back on.

[SteelTownStang]

Yeah, you're definitely going to see that pump through the new grille opening. Maybe you can relocate it closer to the right (driver's side) behind the closed portion of the grille?

[1320goat]

Yeah I think so too. I looked at every option of relocating, but it can't be done without extending my wiring harness and getting new hoses.

[Seer]

you'll need to relocate it in the same area where the 2013's put theirs

[1320goat]

Where are the new ones mounted?

[scorpio333]

Not sure if it was your car or not, but I saw one just like that turning onto Clifton Rd off McMurray awhile back. If it was you, the exhaust note on that thing was perfect.

[SteelTownStang]

Several members over at TS have swapped out their grilles... and added H/Es. I don't remember reading anything on relocating the pump, but I'm sure that they can provide some helpful information if asked: http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php/topic/75175-finally-2013-grilles-are-installed/page__hl__2013

I just finished up relocating the pump. The only spot I could find was behind the steel bumper on the drivers side. I had to move the horns out of the way slightly. I also had to cut the aluminum spout on the rear of the h/e. It was angled towards the passenger side of the car, I cut so it comes straight out of the back. The only thing left to do is extend my wiring harness to the pump. All of this just for the 13 upper grille :duh: .. But the end result will absolutely be worth it. More pics next time I get into the garage!

[SteelTownStang]

:awsome:

[1320goat]

Finally got a chance to pull the car out of the garage. I was kind of in a rush so I only snapped one pic. This weekend I should be able to get a couple more pics. I think it turned out great, and can't wait to drive it

[orange 500]

Looks great... good job! I like how you took the time to do it right.

[cLockWise]

Looks awesome, can't wait to see the pics!!

[SteelTownStang]

Very nice Goat! Did you install the tinted taillights yet? If/When you do, can you post some pics? Thanks!

[mr4teth]

More pic pease ....

[1320goat]

Yeah I did, they look great. I will try to get some pictures if the weather permits. As soon as I get take them I will post them.

[1320goat]

Pics aren't the greatest

[SteelTownStang]

Nice!
