Ecoboost GT500

[LPKitch]

I'm wondering if we'll see after market GT500 front bumpers that can fit on an ecoboost?

Would be very interested!

This has been in the works for a long time. Not something I'm after but I do admire it...from what I've seen it's now available or will be in the near future.

Or cheaper here... but made of FRP. Looks like it’s available now... waiting for someone to take the risk.

It's cheap too! Does look very naughty doesn't it!

Very tempted.... I would have to check the terms to make sure it was refundable if there were any fitting issues. And I think you would have to trial fit before you paid for painting just to be sure.

Possibly because they misspelled "SHELBY"?

Probably a prototype thing I know, but can you imagine fitting it, painting it then..."wait, why does is say SIELBY?"

A lot of times it’s a copyright thing. To allow them to sell some places they can’t use names they don’t have rights to. Tbh I wouldn’t want to pretend my GT was a Shelby car so I would fill and smooth the logos before paint. It’s the style I want, not to try to pretend to be something it’s not

If i bought this, regardless of if it said Shelby, Sielby, or some other variant, it'd be flatted and covered up. Much like FMJ, i wouldn't want to pretend my car was something it wasn't.

Partly agree with that. However, although it's not really seen over here (for S550's anyway), I'm a big fan of the GT350/500 "clones" or "tributes". It's something I'd consider for mine if I could afford it - a full on GT350 lookalike, probably with shelby badges/branding too.

I recently saw a S550 badged GT500.... it was a modded GT and didn’t even resemble the 500... made me cringe.

It is a sexy bumper... and I will buy one next year

Got to agree I don't have a prob people making cars look like 350/500 but to badge them up is a bit cringy as previously said after all the arse end of mine likes a 350 but would never badge it up as one

It's like people who put M badges on their BMW 316 diesel - jokers.

Hence the nickname where I work (and probably widely used) “M badge w*nker”
