Yes, the title here is a bit misleading by calling it a "conversion". Where it really counts is on the MrBodykit website, and they denote it as "GT350 style".
Fixed it for ya! ;)

If I did this, I think I would only want the front end part. Wonder if the kit would let me keep my current hood and fenders. Tho, a few more rock chips and I may go find out. 3 years on the road and you start to notice more nicks than I care to see.
yup, you can order just the bumper.
It's made to work with the stock fenders and hood.

It looks real nice, but I have to be honest I don't like when owners go to lengths to make their cars appear to be something it is not. I know I know I should chill out. It's the same as me slapping a R spoiler, red badges and carbon fiber wheels on mine.
Wait until I slap the GT350 badges on it! :D
Just kidding, I'm not doing that.

If Ford would just offer the 350 with an auto, it would have saved me a lot of time and $$! ..well time at least. ;)
Maybe I should have started with a real GT350 and swapped an auto into it!:bolt:

You can get a ZL1, Z06, ZR1 with an auto!

...but that's a whole other discussion!

It is a lovely looking car now. Shame we don't even get the chance of a GT350 this side of the pond. I'm with you on the auto box...

I think it looks great. GT350 or not, that's what's great about the Mustang...customize! I mod'ed my Tech Pack to look like an R short of the red badging...then I sold it and bought an R.

I would've picked up a 350 is a second if it was offered in auto. Driving a stick, let alone a high revving manual, is not fun for a daily driver in traffic and only car.

It looks real nice, but I have to be honest I don't like when owners go to lengths to make their cars appear to be something it is not. I know I know I should chill out. It's the same as me slapping a R spoiler, red badges and carbon fiber wheels on mine.
It only looks like a GT350 to the totally uneducated eye. The public's stupidity isn't OP's fault. It's incredibly easy to tell the difference even if it was 1:1 front and rear all OEM bumpers/setup.

The 350 styling is MUCH nicer/more agresive looking than the stock Mustang. I haven't seen many who disagree. There aren't too many styling options in terms of new front clips: 350, Roush or Steeda (and then we can argue are you pretending to have a Roush or Steeda Q series car). That's about it though in terms of changing the look of your car.

I get that there is some exclusivity with owning a 350 but this kit makes the 15-17GT's look great and they way they should have all come from the factory. I agree. I would do this to keep the auto trans and have the 350 styling.

Car looks awesome! The shop also did a fantastic job! Everything lines up very nicely. Someone else mentioned it earlier but I'm just gonna reiterate it...Anderson Composites makes fiberglass and carbon fiber parts that would actually shave weight compared to factory(for anyone else considering a similar front end modification)

But once again this looks so darn good! Congrats [MENTION=23083]JPJr[/MENTION] :headbang:

That hood isn't bad at all! I bet it won't bubble like the aluminum hoods. :)

Don't know if I missed it, but how is it compared to the stock hood?

Other than that, very good quality.

furious, here's one showing all three pieces fender/hood/bumper...
Thanks! Is that blue bag behind the mesh really necessary? I see it in a lot of pictures of people who put the bumper on
