Jmeo's 2020 Shelby American GT500 SE Wide Body Build (+ "Phase 2")

[Evolvd]

I thought about not showing this till the end, but I couldn't keep it quiet anymore, lol. These are the new 5 panel quarter windows that come on the 2021 and up Super Snakes. I was able to get them added on to my build, they do not come standard in the SE package. I absolutely LOVE them!

Here is a little inside out view

Is that the same OEM part they put on the 2015 50th LE mustang?

No, they are made by Gorilla glass for Shelby. To be honest, I do not know if they are the ones who made the 50th glass or not. Either way, they are not exactly the same as the 50th window.

I just got unofficial news that they are in fact who made the 50th window.

I love that look, one of things that drew me to the 2015 LE…but alas the ADMs were just as stupid as they are on GT500s

More panels on these versus the 50th LE units.

I like.

I remember that well I thought about getting a Wimbledon White for a minute. I have a friend who was able to procure a pair of 50th windows for his car. He happened upon GHP at an event and they were like, "hey where did you get those". That's also how I found out that GHP also made the 50th window.

I have to agree with you, they look great. I am looking forward to seeing them in person soon. I am sure I will like them even more than I do in pictures.

Is the exhaust staying stock or are you upgrading that too?

I originally wanted to swap to a Borla setup, but I think I will be staying stock..... at least for now.

Just ordered the Borla exhaust. Lethal said there's a 2-3 week lag time. Sucks, I have my exhaust out because of a loose active exhaust valve. It was rattling like someone playing the the cowbell.

Oh that's annoying. Please PM me when you do get it installed, I am curious to hear your impression.

Thinking about the Borla CatBack myself..but geeze, that pipe is esPENSIVE! :-) My chief complaint about stock is the drone at a couple two or three RPM's and speeds. I'm no audio engineer and, I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night but, I'm going to guess that any droning (other than the flying type,) is actually harmonics. Whatever it is, it's beyond annoying and enough to make me start thinking about aftermarket exhausts. :-)

Beautiful car, Jaime!!! I cannot wait to see it completed.

BTW, it was 114 degrees in Las Vegas...

I believe Shelby is working on an exhaust with Borla that will stay within the track DB level ratings which tracks are subjected to. I think if I change the exhaust, it will be the version that these two companies come up with.

Thanks Ron! I must say I am jealous that you got to lay your eyes on her without me there, but I am VERY grateful for you stopping in to get me some more pictures

114º is flipping crazy, but I am sure you had a blast at Barrett Jackson. Please say hi to the rest of the posse for me.
