I'll take that car and garage please!

[Steve-0]

Great looking car, congrats on the purchase! Should look amazing tinted

Thanks.

Tinted (20%) and lowered. Exhaust, panhard bar, & hood lifts go on this weekend.

Hah I was right.

Here are some pics of the Borla S-type Exhaust(#11798) and BMR Adjustable Panhard Bar (#BMR-PHR006B):

awesome work, did you do the paint work?

awesome work, did you do the paint work?

Thanks! Yeah... I painted the STB brace on my '08 to match as well. I actually purchased the FRPP brace, but didn't like how it fit, so I just picked up an 07-09 brace, which fits perfectly w/the JLT delete...

you should paint my coil covers grabber blue :)

[SteelTownStang]

Some recent mods: Reinstalled VMP's 2.59 pulley off my '08 and new tune, Shaker speaker upgrade, and lighted sill plate mod (constant red- changed to blue)...

[Seer]

what speakers?

[SteelTownStang]

KS680s. I guess that I just threw some pictures up there... They're the same speakers that I installed on my '08. Here's a link for details/install, post #43 and #47, which is basically the same for the '12: http://www.steelcitystangs.com/forum...00+pics&page=5

ITEM:

2013 Shelby GT500 Air Dam, Part# DR3Z-63001A04-AA

INSTALLATION:

… was a breeze. Removed/Reinstalled 12 fasteners and add the 8 supplied edge biter clips to affix the 3 piece unit to the existing splitter. The center section is installed first w/2 fastener, and then the side sections clip into the center… Installed the remaining 10 fastener and the 8 clips- finished. Installation time- approximately 20 minutes.

APPEARANCE:

While the OEM splitter is aesthetically fine and I’m sure that it serves a genuine purpose, this little addition enhances the overall menacing scowl of the front clip. From certain angles, it almost resembles fangs, which compliments the Cobra’s mystic… or something like that. Actually, the only reason why I installed this splitter was for looks as I always liked the lower chin spoiler appearance. While CDC, Cervini, etc., manufactured chin spoilers, nothing appealing was available for the GT500… until now.

APPLICATION:

I never planned on breaking any speed barriers so I’ll never personally know if it actually improves aerodynamics, but it certainly can’t hurt… It’s 2” lower on the edges, and 1" lower in the center. Ground clearance is approximately 4 ¼” on the sides, and about 5 1/8” in the center (NOTE: the car is lowered w/FRPP springs).

CONCLUSION:

This splitter extension is a subtle mod and by no means overwhelming. As such, I like it… and if I decide later that I don’t, then it’ll come off as easily as it went on... hopefully at my discretion and not at the fate of a curb.

Thanks! Tousley Ford... I think that it was $130-40. Something like that... How are your projects going? I know that you were interested in a larger SC and HE... Haven't done much here...

[mr4teth]

Trousley Ford Rocks!

Cars looking good!

My Whipple 2.9 is on with the headers and the larger heat exchanger. Suspension is done too. I'll be at the Wexford show Friday.

I am going to do this splitter and the 2013 front grills.

[mr4teth]

Sweet you're car not only looks good but it will be fast as hell! I'm curious which headers did you go with?

[Seer]

Dynatech stainless 1 7/8. Bought them because they are one of the brands that do not require removal when doing a clutch.

[mr4teth]

I've heard good things about the Dynatech's and they are quite a bit less expensive verses Kooks and AMRs ... She's going to sound mean!
