GT500 Shelby Front Bumper (FRP) for S550 Mustang

[AequitasVeritas]

It was bound to come eventually. Who is going to be the first to try it? I think I will wait for the ABS version that is not coming from China

Side note, I'm still not sure why Ford is still using the 15-17 front end. I get them not wanting to redesign the GT350 fenders/front, but the GT500 looks like a whole new clip. I honestly expected them to show off the GT500 and GT350 for 2020 with new front ends that match the 2018+.

The GT350 has a unique front end and doesn't need a redesign as an S550, IMO

Sure, but they now have to pay to make 2 sets of headlights and fog lights instead of 1. It feels like it would lower manufacture costs.

In one of the videos where they are talking to the engineers of the GT500 they ask him exactly that and they said that somehow the earlier headlights allowed for better cooling.

Anderson's Composites makes a similar kit

I believe that using the older style headlights allowed for a better designed header panel, as well, which they can share with the GT350.

That's interesting I'd love to learn more about that.

Isn’t it obvious... because the 15-17s look way better. New models ruined the nose, and the late Carol Shelby knows it

I think Anderson composite version for the 18/19 front end looks just as nice as the new gt500 15 /17 front . Even the new gt350 front bumper for the 18/19 looks good .

That bumper in the OP looks a lot better then the 777 performance one...

777performance finally posted pictures of the actual product on their site, and fitment doesn't look good.

Just look at the lines between the bumper, hood, and fenders.

Are the fenders stock? If so that is REALLY poor.
