Will the Shelby GT 350 fenders bolt on the GT?

[Touch Too Much]

Hi

I really like the looks of the Shelby and would love to own one. This probably won't happen any time soon. Anyone have any idea if the fenders and bumper would bolt on the GT's? I know it's early to ask a question like this but it's just on my mind. Thanks.

Not sure how this stuff works but the GT350 is wider and lower, which would make me think that you couldn't just bolt on a few pieces.

By a set (or one fender) and test it out... let us all know.

You will need the front bumper as well as the fenders and maybe the hood. I don't see why they wouldn't bolt on. Unless the mounting points on the frame are different.Which I don't see a reason for ford to do that. It will be expensive to get all the parts required and painted. I though about doing that but I don't think its worth the money or effort.

I'd be surprised if they don't. The cost to redesign and manufacture new Aprons, Apron Extensions, Core Supports etc... is extremely high and its unlikely Ford would invest in that.

Assuming they will "Bolt On" you will probably have to buy the hood and looks like for sure would have to buy the front bumper cover.

You would have to replace the entire front clip, Hood, Fenders, Bumper (including all the trim and hardware) as well as the Side Sills. My concern is whether the GT-350 Hood will fit with the 5.0 because of the way the GT-350's Hood is So Much Lower than the Standard Mustang GT Hood.

IF they even direct bolt on, you're probably looking at $10k after paint. The hood itself is $2,200 unpainted.

Very likely not worth it and that's a big if on if the parts fit and the hood will clear the 5.0.

With the estimated cost of conversion...just go buy a GT350.

Give it time. Aftermarket will have something I'm sure. Well, I'm hoping they do and something that uses the stock bumper and hood.

Ford has already said that everything fwd of the A pillar is new on the 350. Kinda makes me doubt that you could just bolt the new panels on.

I just want the front bumper cover!!!! I am eyeing the fender situation though.

aggree, re-design & develop will take much money for FD.
Personally think maybe you have to switch out the hood, front bumper, front lip, fenders, side skirts, diffuser and rear spoiler.

Headlights are an inch lower on the GT350, so no, the front fascia, hood and fenders will not bolt on without the gt350 front crash structure

^This. Or else you'll end up being one of "those" guys that also puts a snake emblem on it too.

Just searched the store who has Shelby GT350 carbon fiber rear wing, they might have the body kit, you can contact them for the details.
