Well guys & gals I was sorry to have missed on all the events this last weekend, Speedworld, Friday Night cruise, etc. But my ride was in the shop getting a face lift. I have been putting it off long enough so I finally pulled the trigger. Just got her back today and I am very happy how it turned out. I think the shop did a great job on the install fitting and the matching and blending of the paint on the new parts.

What do you think (be nice I bruise easily) :laughing:

I have been looking at wheels for some time now. I just cannot decide. So it is stock for now.

Thanks for the positive feed back all. I agree, Wheels are the next thing to be done and they will be either black or black accented. Now I got to find the right wheels, and you know what else, "Mo Money Mo Money" It never stops, but most of you already know that.

i think a black wheel with a polished lip would be badass, but i know most will probably say its overdone. but i think the same thing about fr500's. lol...

If you are going to do black wheels, make sure that you get ones with a polished lip. It's a MUST with black wheels or the wheels and tires can be too much.

Looks fantastic. One question. Where were you able to find the one piece black honeycomb grill? I've been searching for that for a while.

The grills are direct from Ford, but they will only fit in the GT 500 bumper cover.

Looks nice. I keep shying away from the Shelby front bumper in fear of being called a copycat but it WAS the Shelby's looks that turned me on to the S197 in the first place.

Thanks. What's your guess on how modifiable it might be to fit a V6 front bumper cover?

PLEASE get some 18in or 19in rims. The 17's are just way too small for that body!!!!

The GT500 look with that color is cool. I bought replacement GT500 (replica) chrome wheels for my 06 GT vert before I sold it, sorta wished I had gone with the FR500 wheels with the deep dish look instead. Have fun deciding which way to go:yes:.

Only rims I would buy for the 05 Plus body are 20's. Anything smaller doesnt look right... Nice car man!!

Body looks great, love the red fire!
For wheels, my favorites are:
20": Shelby Redline, Shelby GT500KR Alcoa
18": GT500, FR500, Roush 5-spoke
