I purchased a set of window scoops from Shelby believing they would look and fit the best on my '08 KR. (Which, By the way is the greatest car ever!) Unfortunately, I was wrong. The design is poor They don't contour to the lines of the roof. The hard square corners don't match the lines of the rest of the car. The mock scoop itself looks like it belongs on a 1:18 scale model. The car needs a nice set in order to truly represent the '68. Sorry, Shelby performance or automotive or team shelby. This is very unlike you!

Interesting because mine fit nicely. Give them a call and explain the fitment problem. Maybe they have a bad batch?

I doubt they will do anything about the crappy fitment or poor quality of them, well at least they didn't do anything for me with my SS hood, which continues to get worse. Good luck though and if they do anything let me know as I will once again call them to see if they want to stand behind their products.

Scotty, the Scoops shown (the one's above) are not the one's he is talking about. Those are a set on someone's else's Car that he is showing everyone.
