I am going to install the GT500KR lower grille brake cooling bezels on The Mistress (2007 Shelby GT500).  I have narrowed it down to two manufacturers.  JLT for $69.95 and Shelby for $99.95.  Does anyone have experience with either, or have any other recommendations.  My concern is fit and finish.

I'm sure that Michael will have some good input on this as he knows everything about add-ons for a late-model Shelby. :P

I would venture to say to keep it all Shelby as much as possible. I would think and expect that the Shelby accessories would have a perfect fit and finish.

But, I would follow whatever advice Michael has to offer. What say you Sir Michael? :D

I purchased the Shelby parts. The didn't have the brake duct kit available at that time though. I also purchased the lower grill precut for those bezels to make the install easier. I like the look it has more than the functionality of what it supposed to do.

Did you need to remove the bumper to install the replacement grille, like some of the other sites suggest?

Yeah, I am looking for ehe look as well.  I don't drive hard enough to need the functionality!
