    new shelby like spoiler

    Two bo;lts and 3M on mine. Put it this way, I was going to try to reposition it slightly and might just as well have tried to lift a house. I have side ducts on mine stuck on with 3M tape and if it holds those on while acting as 100mph parachutes, you can rely on it to hold the spoiler down.:D

    New Stang, Bullitt or GT?

    I'd go for the GT and get the FRPP shocks and springs fitted. The Bullitt is too plain for me and I don't like highland green - I know they do them in black but that really destroys the point and you might just as well go GT/CS and have the full color choice.

    what does your user name mean...

    I had an '87 Camaro Z28 called Lucy. Changed it for a '98 Z28 and it became LuS1 and I added "fer" because it seemed the thing to do hence LuS1fer (and everyone saying I spelt it wrong... :rolleyes:). This "evolved" when I bought a UK number plate LV51FER which has since become my modified...

    Best decision?

    You have to remember that you're comparing a special edition SN95 with all the good bits to a stock GT. I've never driven any SN95 but all the reviews say the S197 is light years ahead and since the torsional rigidity of the S197 is as good as an SN95 with a cage, that stands to reason. I...

    Spare tire help.

    Here's a tyre calculator for the diameter but the height/depth is going to need a sophisticated calculating device - a ruler, possibly. ;)

    Suspension Mod Advice

    I have Tokico D-specs and they are excellent dampers. I have Roush springs which are progressive and give a great ride and handling with my 275/35 x 20s front and back but they may not give you the "stance" most people crave which may in fact worsen the handling. I have heard friends with...

    Would it be too rice to have two different design wheels on a stang?

    I have never in my life seen any exotic cars with different wheels on either side. You often see them on design bucks to assess which looks best but they also have different designs on both sides of the car too. It's cheaper than building two. Of course, you get people who paint the front and...

    shelby gt500 wing HELP !!!

    The Spoiler Store on ebay. First class stuff. I have the Silver Horse Racing rear honeycomb panel too. It's class. Avoid the cheap crap magnetic tail panel. I have a Legend front splitter from American Muscle. It's a fibreglass piece rather than plastic which you may or may not like and...

    Lower control Arms

    I have Metco billet LCAs and the torque is critical. Once set properly to factory torque specs, there is no squeaking and the NVH is little different to stock.

    New Car, Couple of Questions

    Premier package requires the IUP package and the GT Leather or CS and you then get, on top of those, the leather dash top and centre compartment lid, upgraded armrests with stistching, aluminium pedals and solid colored seats in 5 color combinations. Not sure I'd be bothered with any of that...

    Colors for my brake calipers, and pictures of your painted ones!

    These are mine in red. In retrospect, I would have done them alloy or silver simply because any oblique photo has the red calipers reflecting brightly in the chrome rims so bear that in mind. I bought the decals off ebay but the guy doesn't sell them anymore - another victim of Ford's copyright...

    New Car, Couple of Questions

    I would recommend the Premium package because there's no getting away from the fact that the base Mustang interior is pretty cheap and plasticky. The IUP gives you vinyl insets in the doors to offset the massive swathe of plastic. It also not only gives you the extra gauges but also the message...

    Shelby tops Roush and Saleen

    http://www.evo.co.uk/search/?words=Shelby&submit_dn=SEARCH THe initial GT500 review was favourable but a fuller test (no link here) was a little less flattering (I believe they tested it against the Monaro VXR500 which is the blown HSV version of your GTO). We have two main motoring...

    S-197 Shelby's

    No. Classic Mustangs were never cherished, just driven as cars so they crashed and rusted away and are now rare. The GT500 has nothing to do with Shelby bar a badge so who cares. Too many being produced. I think 50% are being hived away as investments which will never happen as they'lll...

    Broken Drivers Side Mirro

    They do on every single car in Europe by law. The Mustang's mirrors are a real PITA when you need to get the car in our tiny garages. Corvette mirrors fold too!

    Shelby tops Roush and Saleen

    They like the Shelby GT in the UK too. It's the GT500 they think is the poor relation.
