And you guys argue about prices!!!

Well it seem that owning one of those coveted Shelby Mustang GT500KR will literally cost you an arm & leg to fix if you get into a fender bender.

$20,000 for a CF hood...no that is not a typo.
$3,392 for a from bumper
$635.50 for hood pins

No this is not a typo!!!

I can get those hoods for $42.87. Big woop

thats what insurance is for.

so can i go to the dealer and get the car for $57,570 without the hood, pins, and front bumper lip? makes you wonder how they fit every other component of the car into the small budget of 57,500 when the hood alone cost close to 20k...

thats what insurance is for.

+1

[fliegendaffe]

sounds just like a viper, replacement hood is 15k

[ShiZnitH]

Overpriced shit

[GAgalant_319]

thats why cars come with warranties right?

[ShiZnitH]

Over here a fender bender isnt covered by warranties weird enough

[ZigenScarface]

warranties never covers accidents.. insurence does

I would never pay 20k for a hood, and those hood pins better be made out of diamond for that price. Besides you can always buy the knock-off http://www.mossmuscle.com/Shop/ViewP...eIndexID=79163

Ask Cali to make one and sell it for a fraction of the price

That is nuts, but I can understand where Shelby is coming from to basically "protect" the vehicle icon. I saw one of these at Devils Tower in Wyoming on my vacation recently...they are impressive cars.

"The last thing we wanted was a customer slapping a KR carbon fiber hood on his V6" - I like this statement.

don't parts always cost way more than buying the car? what i mean is even on our cars, if you were to construct the entire car from new parts it would be some outrageous total wouldn't it? this is nothing new. the industry makes lots of profit on parts... since the beginning of time.
