Snoopy, you mpress me in every thread you respond to. You get a golden star my friend!!:burnout:
One more thing. My hood does not line up perfectly to the fender on the passenger side front end of my 13 GT500. I saw the same imperfection on one other 13 and a 12 GT500. I've seen one 14 GT500 and it didn't have the imperfection. Anybody else?
I plan on leaving it off.
Mine is still in the box.
Amazingly enough...the chin spoiler really helps at highway speeds
Mine has been on since day one, car is lowered....its still in good shape

The rear fender behind the rear wheels on my car wasn't painted correctly. The paint bubbled a little bit and is lumpy to the touch when you pass your hand over it. Another car in my local club has the same issue, on the same fender. The driver of that car checked into how he could get his fixed, since his is much worse than my defect, and the dealership stated they would take care of the repainting and installation of the fender.
He asked them if they had ever done that to a Shelby before and the reply was a flat no. I don't know if he's going to let them do that or not for fear of them messing up the reinstall in some way. His car also has wax stain marks on the plastic inside the open grill area from a hasty detail job before the car was put on the showroom floor.
I looked at that car on the showroom before he bought it and saw that very mark, so I guess he missed it. He traded in an Audi R8 for his Shelby, on an impulse buy, and got the GT500 and $80,000 cash from the dealer. Didn't try to haggle or anything, just ate the ADM without a second thought.
Aside from the bad defects on his car, mine also has a slight misalignment on the driver door panel, where it doesn't sit flush with the frame of the car. But all in all, I love my car and will drive it for years to come.

Good info on the intercooler pump plug, brake fluid reservoir and tire gouges. Thanks! Mine is supposedly being delivered tomorrow, I was just reading through this one last time.
Pick up some Purple Power at Wal-Mart. It will easily pull the wax right off the plastic and will not hurt the paint. It will eat aluminum though, so be careful with it.

Same here. My buddy with a 2013 GT500 has his installed but it's all scrapped up. Might install it in the spring just to make me feel like I'm doing something to the car.
