Different color same idea....i like them some days and hate them otehrs. U get a vibrational rattle at speed from the windows and i had to have them installed twice. IMHO i wouldnt do it again if i could go back. But at the same time it does look nice.

Just to add to my above post, i wouldnt put htem on a KR at all. Its too much a rare car that this would cheapin it i think. If i were you i would invest some money in an after market clone hood and keep the original in the garge somewhere safe and the same forthe front splitter. That way you dont ever have to run into the debacle another KR owner has run into.

Thanks, I really like your vapor Shelby, I have a P51 which is vapor also! I just think the side of the shelby needs something added, perhaps I am used to the p51 look.

Thanks for the compliment. I ordered a black on black originaly but fell in love with the vapor when i saw it. I agreethat hese cars should have somthing on the side. There is something that should make them pop. But maaaannnn with a KR i really just woudnt. Too much money for a car and too much a chance that if something goes wrong with one of these parts like it flys off or something u could hurt the paint or scrath it up i just wouldnt.

that looks like a knockoff of cervinis C500 kit in the side pics, but the scoops look like less quality pieces. The last one with the girl in it is the Cervinis kit as far as i can tell. If you look at the scoops in the final pic u can see the difference between htem and yor buddies car. Love the side exhaust setup. I would do it if it wasnt for dround clearance and the fact its only 2.5 in when i want three. Sharp car all the same though

yes, that is cervinis elenaor kit, looks like SAI uses 2 compenents from the kit. These cars are so cool, there are so many ways to modify, I really think 2005-2009 are one of the very best series! Cheers, Scott

Watch out for Cervini's scoops. I had a horrible experience with them. (A few sets too) Those things don't fit right.





















In my opinion the only scoops to consider are the Silve Horse Racing ones that require you to have the original glass cut out and these new scoops glued back in.


I hope you have better luck than I did. I ended up tinting the windows w/ 5% and couldn't be happier. Well except when I think of all the money I lost painting those stupid Cervini's scoops.

I put the upper and lower cervini scoops on mine and absolutely LOVED them!

I would not hesitate to do it again. I think they just make the car pop!

One thing you have to do which cervini even tells you to do, BEFORE you paint them, make sure they fit properly. If they don't sit up flush you can send them back for another set as long as you don't paint them.

They have to be prepped. Sanded, primed and painted.

One of the things we did is once we put them on we put the car inside the paint booth and turned on the heat that is used to dry the paint. Our paint guy said that heat will suck the glue from the duble sided tape nice and snug and they won't ever blow off.

I had it up to 140 a few time and over a 100 many times and never had any problems. I put about 7500 miles on the car with them on and no problems.

I never had any kind of rattle noise, but it does create some wind noise at higher speeds. Sort of like a sound you hear taking off in jet which is from the wind blowing into the scoop openings.

Mine fit like a champ when new. But park the black car in the California sun and those things turn real soft. They were dropping like flies at Fabulous fords forever car show in southern california earlier this year due to the heat. I personally saw/heard 2 of them hit the concrete. They're just big stickers, designed like sails. Even worse is the air has nowhere to go once scooped up. Again. I'd stick with the SHR ones. Or the agent 47 ones.
