2018 Shelby Super Snake Wide Body build to begin

[Voo Doo]

I had my truck done professionally with Cquartz Finest. It can only be applied by certified and approved detail shops. The product is available to consumers. They do a multiple step process before applying the coating.
It took 3 workers about 10 hours to complete. The whole exterior was done, including the inside of the wheels

Here's another great ceramic coating video.

Yep....that's everything I used! Then Flyby 30 for all the glass!!

Ok gentlemen, we have some time to burn. So, for the sake of conversation I would like to pose a question or two. I know the Super Snake WB will be a hell of a car in itself once it arrives. So, the question is can you buy a car like this and leave it totally as is? Or should you or not. The modifying bug is strong with me. I have never been able to leave any of my cars as is! So, that brings us to the Super Snake. What do you guys think about making mods to it?

1. Would you leave it totally untouched?

2.Modify away. If so what would you guys like to see if you where doing the modifying? (Not really meaning performance wise as I figure the power and handling are going to be sufficient).

Just curious to see what you guys think. Fire away.

I would leave everything cosmetically as it is.

However, I would upgrade your oil pump gears, sprockets, chains, and chain guides. This just protects the engine from catastrophe given all the power.

Same goes on the drive train. When a kit becomes available upgrade the intermediate shaft, torque converter, and drive shaft as well. Its probably 4-5k in parts and labor, but your car will put more power to the ground and you won't have worries about pushing it to the limit.

Just my two sense lol

Awesome stuff man. That car sounds mean.
And yes,...those rear tires are massive. Needs to be to put down all that power to the pavement. lol

Kills ms the 2018 uses the old headlights. Just like the GT500 rendering using the old headlights too. Cmon people get your shit together.

LOL GT500 is going to come out amd people are going to be like sweet 2015.

The 2018 uses 2018 lights. That above is a 17. The fronts are pretty different. The show the 18 and 17 in the video.

My vote is to leave it untouched. I got the EB to mod as they are cheap and dime-a-dozen, which Super Snake is not. I'd feel much less bad breaking an EB while modding over the Super Snake.

This is the only thing I'm swapping for sure so far. Don't care for the stock Mustang steering wheel.

Hey' why not.....it's only money!!! You'd think by now Ford sees the need to change wheels!!! DUH !!!! :cheers:

I can't get enough of the '18 SS WB.........can't wait to see progress on your build :cheers:


The only thing I'd change from stock (other than getting it ceramic coated, as suggested) would be to get black wheels. I know they are a very personal thing, but I love these wheels on the '18 NB (normal body ) seen this week!
