I love the car but I want to change its image a bit. The FR500 black chromes helped out a lot but it still looks like your average Vista Blue Mustang GT. So I had a couple of ideas namely Shelby GT500 rear wing, California special rear bumper (painted Shelby style so I save on 200 bucks) black sideskirts and to top it off the front gets a Saleen Heritage style.

To anyone that has changed up their cars what did you do with your OEM bumper covers and stuff can you trade them in somewhere or are you stuck with them until you find someone to buy them off you?

Have you looked at the Ducktail spoiler yet? Like the ones from Cervinis?

I like the C/S Rear Fascia, didn't know it was that much cheaper than the FR500 rear. But you plan to paint the entire lower portion black like the FR500 rear?

yes I have im just not into the ducktail i think the GT500 wing looks the best. I want the Shelby look, but I want to keep it a GT that is where the heritage bumper comes in as it mixes both looks perfectly. The Shelby bumper costs more than the CS because it is marked up as a Ford Racing part.

Still my biggest question is on what to do about getting a new bumper cover, etc and what to do with the old one.
