    I think I would modify the grill and put the two inboard fog Lights in there

    I really like the hoods on the Hertz 350H's. Too bad they are just using the stock looking hood on the ones for public sale.

    Yeah, me too. And also the front and rear bumpers, pillar louvers, rear spoiler, and hood. Actually, I would change almost everything. Hmm, I don't even really like this car. It is basically a GT/CS with Shelby floor mats. What a rip off for $6k over the price of a GT.

    The Shelby GT has the Ford Power Pack, Handling Pack, so its a liitle more than just badging, is it worth $7000 over a Gt?, well we will see and since it has the officila Shelby Name on it that probably is worth something! Don't ya think?

    Those are some very mild upgrades. The Power Pack comes with CAI, tune, and mufflers. The Handling Pack comes with shocks, sway bars, tower brace, and springs. Are you going to argue that these off-the-shelf bolt ons turn a GT into a Shelby GT? You say "a little more than badging", but what else is there? Floor mats and decals. You're right, it's the Shelby name, but in this case that is 90% of the sale.
