06 GT build thread , Saleen , Coyote

[2BlownStangs]

Turning at very low speed is a little heavy , once you're moving its great , nice feel on the road. I love it but I guarantee its not for everyone.

I was looking at doing that manual rack as well. love the build man

Well guys I cant leave very much alone so I was scouting the interwebs looking for a cheap 2013 ish front end for my car , since the front end swaps are so sweet and all , and I cant leave anything alone..... I was scouting craigslist and HOLY CRACKHEAD CRAIGSLIST CHRISTMAS I came across a deal. a 2014 5.0 with 1000 miles on it Hood , and complete bumper cover with lower undershield , LED fogslights etc for $500 and he was 30 mins down the road , and it was already black! I just have to scuff and shoot to match. My new style front fenders will be here tomorrow......

I like your current front end, but do you.

Can't wait to see how it looks.

I like my front end right now too but I like the 14 front end more ;-) I'm pretty excited to get it done

Hehe , I'm really digging it , wait till its done , the saleen front is sweet however but this takes it to a different level.

Well where do I begin.

At least if there's anyone capable of fabbing this to work is you.

The good news. You're on your way to having a bad ass ride and seem to have the major components to make it happen.

The bad news. I didn't replace my core support. I modified the headlight hole to fit new headlights. After I got the conversion fenders I had to put everything forward about 1.5 in. So I had to pad the front bumper foam support and add spacers to the headlights. Why is it bad news? Well on the 13/14s the upper bumper brackets bolt up to the core support. And well guess what they don't work at all. I tried it with my bros gt500 front end and it was way off. I don't know how to advise you around that except maybe trim the brackets accordingly to fit the core support.

Good luck. I will gladly chime in and provide any help I can.

I posted it up in for sale. Sold it to a guy in GA picking it up tommorrow

Aw, I liked the current setup. The 05-09 Saleen front is one of the best looking ones, especially with a lower splitter.

GL with the new look.
