It's ok though, Shelby uses ZMAX in everything so the price is totally justified....

WTF? $21,000 for that hood? Not unless it is made of titanium and has diamond hinges.

yep they look good but would never touch one after a read like that. Absolutly rediculous. Go spend an extra $20k and get a ZR1 and have a full warranty Granted i'm sure ZR1 specific parts aren't real cheap i'd venture to guess GM doesn't make you send them back if you need a repair

You pay $21K for the hood but you can't close it and still have huge gaps in it...it's not a completed hood!!

ZR1 front lip is $2500, less than KR's front lip.. and I bet the ZR1's got way more engineering and function to it.

After reading a little farther into this it's seriously pathetic how Ford is running their operations! I'm so glad i'm not stupid enough to buy an 80,000 mustang just for a name even if I was rich. Mustang "enthusiasts" are insane! Very disturbing read.
