Well you already have the rest of the Shelby look why not put a stock style Shelby front end on it. Then loose the pepper gray and black stripes!!!! Then loose the side pipes and big gas cap!! The El look is WAY over done and needs to go...........Just my .02.

Because I dont want the rest of the shelby look and I love my side pipes and big gas cap.

I dont have pepper gray - its light silver.

My stripes are not the typical shelby stripes either.

I am just looking for some input on redesigning the front end. I dont want a stock shelby front end.

I want something unique that will increase the air flow and look good and be one of kind for this car.

Do you have any input?

Have you seen the Nemesis Mustang?

I have seen both of those. Very nice for that particular look and feel - the work quality is definately very good.

Personally - for this car - I can not have the bumper going through the front and I dont want it to look too new carish if you know what I mean for a lack of a better description. The front on the nemesis looks like a brand new bumper cap - it looks very good dont get me wrong but its not the look I am going for.

Mine is primarily driven around function and then looks. I cant have anything running through my intercooler.

i like the eleanor front end...the only thing i couldnt stand with that gt500e design was the hood...it just never looked right to me..id leave everything the way it is and design a new Cowl hood for it..that would give the front end a new look

[wicked68]

the cowl hood is funtional for me. my high rise tunnel ram style manifold just fits under it and the ram air screen intakes sit on top of the main air intake giveing a nice air charge.

The front however needs work as the intercooler is 25% blocked.

its also not the best design from a stress crack and aerodynamics / airflow standpoint. that is what I am trying to resolve.

I am not looking to redesign just for looks sake - its got to be for function.

Do you have a picture with the hood closed?

lol

I guess you missed the o.p. soliciting input on the front end.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on redoing the front end - not the hood - that would be great!

I will take a fresh one and post it tomorrow.
