american muscle $125 gonna switch to the GT500 one later it was a cheap and quick spoiler since I removed mine. wanted other ones but can’t cover stripes and need center holes to be covered not many options.

found a place for my rear deck panel emblems since the honeycomb panel and 69-70 gas cap will go there.

So picked up a 05-09 Cervinis Eleanor rear add on for $30 and now i’m getting a 15 premium GT bumper delivered today for a local guy for $40. Well hopefully by next week I have moved forward with making my own rear bumper so I have no exhaust cutouts for when I go custom side exhaust.

Thanks. I thought it was that one. I was looking at it too. I have a large carbon fiber duckbill at the moment. But the carbon fiber is starting to look bad and I was thinking of replacing it. I don't like most of the spoilers and the ones I do don't cover up the factory holes.

So drove to KY and picked up the bumper since guy could drive down yesterday like he told me. and he sold the rear lower panel but for $40 i can’t complain too much. Took the $30 05-09 cervinis rear and started chopping it up, heating and reforming it. I know it looks like crap but i’m not a body guy I’m just trying so make something cool and different. It’s probably gonna be a 6-9 month process of foaming, fiberglassing and shaping it but it’s a start for now. Who knows I may scrap it, garage art and now I have plenty of left over to just make fill in panels for the exhaust cut outs.

Man, I thought Brembo stickers on the base 4 piston GT calipers was bad enough, but Brembo stickers on the base Ecoboost/V6 2 piston calipers...

I guess this goes along well with the fake Mach1 and CobraJet stickers.

Nice work, but trying to sticker a car for what it's not is kinda whack.

Well no one asks for you to follow the build and your opinion is noted even though I don’t have 2 piston calipers or brembro stickers on the car.

I don’t have 2 piston calipers or brembro stickers on the car.

You did at one point, didn't really follow after the first page to be honest.

Not scratching the custom bumper idea, just on hold for now. Had an idea and turned out good. Only wish I had another lower panel so I didn’t have to do the mock up on the one from my car. If I can find one cheap that will be great but this works for initial mock up. Debating if i’m gonna go with body color on all three or matte black the outer ones over the exhaust cutouts. still have time since I still have to fabricate a side exhaust for the car. Think I want to use the 99-04 Roush side exhaust tips due to the shape which will match my clearance. Couldn’t see it on the car since the tips are still coming through but I have a general idea of how it will look.

So I think i’m ditching the cervinis rear project and morning forward with the set up in the previous post. After more hours of shaping trimming, heating and sanding. I moved forward to painting the concept exhaust covers. Removed the exhaust so mount it (not fully mounted and covered still need a mounting method which is in the works). Looks good in my opinion.

Additional updates will be receiving a almost new 2018 GT350 intake (2.8k miles) So shaker will be going through a transformation again.

Billet 69-70 gas cap ordered and in mail.
No longer gonna use the honeycomb panel since switch to Retro LED light will cause a raised middle section that will look odd. Have an idea for replacement.

with exhaust off measurements for side exhaust will be under way

still waiting for interior wrap to arrive 3 days late as of the 29th of Jan.

stay tuned

got a few more bings in the mail today! Built not bought plate, brake decals, blue and white carbon viynl for interior and shaker tube, matte viynl for the rear panel again prior to honeycomb and gas cap which should be here this week. Took like forever literally to wrap the interior. tried to do the center console with shifter and cubby along with the window switch panels and failed miserably. Shaker is still dissembled since GT350 intake will be here today or tomorrow which I’ll have to fabricate for shaker. Pretty close to the rendering I did.

As far as the rear goes. still waiting on foam to dry so I can start shaping the once hollow back of exhaust cover to match rear panel.

making progress on rear exhaust covers

Well this was a battle but cleaner look. Added a crashed GT350 intake. I would highly recommend the Ford Performance Kit vs the parts from a Bullitt/350/350r/500. The kit will basically toss the tube and provide you with an adapter that will attach to your stock tube. It will also have the IAT sensor location vs the MAF slot found on all the V8 models. As you can see NO kit so like everything else fabrication. But it’s all good with no codes thrown.

Return the rear deck lid panel matte black which i removed since the emblems were attacked and added matte to license plate area and mirrors. Was able to get another rear lower trim piece with aftermarket diffuser so stock one is back on and I am in the process of just molding this whole thing in fiberglass and will eventually have it shaped, painted and ready for future.
