Be careful with that style apron. I had trouble with the fitment. It took more work to massage it onto the car than I was willing to do. I got mine from Mustang Unlimited....others may fit better

heres mine, I bought the car with it already on though, so i have no clue where it's from. I think there's a little fitment problem too.

Non-bumper style (it is different that a bumper type), from Branda. No problems with the fit.

question about that apron

when you put that apron on, does it retain that funny looking metal piece behind the front bumper or does it replace it?

I half-assed mine with the fitment so its just on there...nothing molded into place. Theres like a 1/4 inch gap between the apron and the fender but i dont mind it too much...still think it looks pretty bad ass...

It replaces it to save weight - that is why Shelby went this route.
