Some Appearance Changes To My 2011 Shelby GT500

[DJ Red Barron]

I made a few changes to the GT500. Changes: Tinted side markers, tail lights, head lights & fogs, "traditional" Shelby stripes in electric blue, "black chrome" fake gas cap, SHELBY lettering & Cobra emblems with electric blue eyes.

Since I am a huge pic slut, here they are.

And just a few other random pics of the car...

That looks great! Howd you do the rear fake gas cap?

Thanks!!

We used the same material on the snakes, gas cap & SHELBY letters as what's on the lenses. It's basically an automotive clear heavily tinted with black, applied in several coats until it gets the desired darkness. The gas cap is actually two tones, with the snake & lettering looking almost black chrome while background is more black. The snake in the cap is a perfect match to the SHELBY letters on the deck lid, even though in photograph the letters look lighter.

That gas mileage seems to be rather low... I'm assuming you dont baby her. which is good!

So much win with those mods. I LOVE the Electric Blue stripes! Nicely done, and one of the best looking GT-500s I've ever seen. Question. Why the dealer plates?

 

[BTRStang]

Looks good, love the eyes on the snakes!!!

 

[mckpat03]

Wow, that is amazing! Beautiful car!

 

[DJ Red Barron]

Wow! MANY thanks guys! I really, really appreciate all of the kind words! For it to have been called one of the best looking ones from any of the guys here means a LOT, especially considering all of the amazing looking cars I see on this board all the time. Again, thanks to everyone!

Beast, yes, Jinina is still awesome with vinyl. But sadly, this was her retirement stripe job. She's had enough of doing that kind of work. Can't blame her I guess. She's been at it for a couple of decades.

OHTHREESVT, nah I don't really baby the car. But I don't beat on it all the time either. I reset the mileage calculator a while back and the car is only getting in-town driving time these days. I think it's in the 11-12 MPG range at the moment. Which isn't too terrible I don't think.

CobraBob, I am small dealer in Louisiana. But in this case, the Shelby was a car I bought for my personal use as opposed to it being just another piece for dealership inventory. That being said, the car has been technically for sale since I bought it last August.

I love me some blue/black GT500's. I hate seeing this because it makes me start thinking I should add blue stripes to mine.
The faux cap turned out great and the car looks awsome!
