Seeing your car from that angle reminded me of how I got my 500. It was spring 2013 and I was at the dealer specing out a new F350. The cost came in right about $65K which was more than I expected and it ticked me off. I turned in the showroom and staring at me was a 2013 GT500 identical to yours. I looked at my salesman and asked, how much is a new Shelby and he said about the same price. I ordered my GB 2014 GT 500 a few days later. Celebrated 10 years with it this month.

Such an awesome car Vinnie. One of my favorite GT500’s of all time.
Thanks Brother!!! I really believe 2013-14 Shelby GT500'S will be amongst the all time favorites for many many years. Even here in MI they are getting rarer and rarer. If you own one........ you are a lucky dude.

@Vinnie_B how many chin splitters do you currently have?
I have one brand new one sitting in the box. The one that is currently on the car is not in to bad of shape as most of the small rock chips are on the bottom of the splitter and are hard to see unless you really look hard enough. They will not stay perfect if you actually drive the car and thats why im personally not to concerned about it being perfect. The heat exchanger worries me more than the chin splitter. Yes.....i have a spare one of those too.......expensive. Damn thing sucks air like a jet and with rocks popping up.......man its a gamble not getting a leak after every cruise. First thing I look at after I get home....lol.

I think the last time Shelby had the front splitters in stock was last November, i don't understand why they don't stock them more often
