Face Lift

[Casey39er]

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:

Looks cool, what are you gonna do for wheels?

[OH3MGSVT]

Im not a huge fan of the s-197 body styling but this looks REALLY good.

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

[fazm]

how bout something like this? 18" fr500 replica's in black chrome.

p.s. who did your work, and mind sharing cost?

[04WhininCobra]

that looks really good! i agree with fazm FR500 wheels would look really nice.

[LoudPony]

Looks like a speeding ticket just setting there!
Very nice!!!!!!

[chewbaccajones]

Looks good. HRE makes some nice lookin wheels.

[AZSonicSnake]

daaaaaaaaaaammmmnnnn!!! that looks kick butt. i love it. i agree though that you now need some fancier wheels to really pull it off. it love it though man. looks great!!!

[wickedcobra]

Id pass on the FR500's, maybe just some stock GT500s?

[OH3MGSVT]

black chrome = teh sex

[Casey39er]

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.

[AZSonicSnake]

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...

[Blackmagic1]

Looks AWESOME !! Who did yer paint ?

[Jacostang]

Fantabuloooooso!!

[Bandit]

I remember talking to you about doing that at Pavs a few weeks back...
Looks real good!

[IMSHAKN]

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.

[BLK03SVT]

Looks great!! Who did the work?

[VSTNG]

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.

[LSlayer]

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.

[Arch Angel]

Looks good! I like it!:laughing1:

[VSTNG]

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

[vicious781]

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

[CDW63]

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:.

[maddme]

I love the GT500 look! I think it looks very kool.:laughing1:

[hpmotzd]

The pictures dont do it justice, saw it at the friday night cruise and it looks even better in person. Nice job!! :twothumbsup:

[ThePunisher95]

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

[06GT]

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

Now you have the look to match your performance.:pinkthumb:
