Shelby GT500 KR Radiator Cover

There are some cars that come with all the trimmings like the Shelby GT500 KR know to some as the King of the Road.  When the Shelby GT500 came back on the scene in 2007,  Mustang enthusiasts from all ages rushed down down to their local Ford dealer and placed their orders.  Many of them waited several months and sometimes over a year to take delivery of their GT500.  A close friend of mine waited 18 months to get his GT500,  I'll tell his story later.  Shelby decided to make a few models
GT500, GT, 40th Anniversary, Hertz, Super Snake and the KR.   All of the Shelbys have some
distinct features that not all of them carry but the KR is a very rare Pony.

Sticker price or should I say dealer price on a KR was over $100,000.  The first KR that I saw on the dealer floor was listed at $182,000......THIS IS NOT A TYPO.  $182,000 large.  I took some of my Mustang buddies down to the dealership so they could see for themselves,  the look on their faces was a Kodak moment when they saw the asking price,  $182,000.....large bills please.  All of us thought the dealership was crazy and smoking some serious crack but we stared at the KR wishing we had the cheddar to buy one.   Owning one of these would be better than being King for a Day in grade school, better than any dinger I hit playing high school baseball, better than my moms liver smothered with gravy and onions and even better than........well, I won't go that far but you get the point.  The KR was off the chain with it's carbon fiber accessories, color scheme and the fact that it's a KR.

Production numbers for the KR are low under 1,200 which makes it that much desirable it's like the Mustang, "Eleanor" in the film "Gone in 60 Seconds" Nicolas Cage's character just had to have that
car at all cost.

If I owned a KR I would probably be scared to drive it in fear that something would happen to it,
like some 16 year-old texting while driving slamming into my rearend.   Or a runaway shopping cart filled with cement bags rolling into my door at my local Home Depot and leaving a dent the size of
a soccer ball.  I'm sure I would eventually get over my fear, you buy a car to drive not sit in a garage and admire it.

The Shelby GT500 KR has a lot of carbon fiber trimmings....front splitter, mirror cover and rocker panels.  KR owners didn't have much to choose from in terms of aftermarket accessories until
now.   Bangastang has released our Radiator Cover for the GT500 KR, this has been a long time in
development but the KR owners needed some love to.

Shown here painted in Satin Silver with blue stripes,  our Radiator Cover for the Shelby KR
also has a cutout for the CSM plate and is designed to fit with the Ford Racing Cold Air Intake.
Bangastang also offers the KR Radiator Cover in Torch Red with Satin Silver Stripes as well as
Black with matte black stripes.

 
If you're going to own a King of the Road why not treat yourself like a King or Queen.  When you
show up at car show with a Bangastang Radiator Cover and pop your hood just make sure that everyone is wearing sunglasses because the brightness may blind them.

Mustang Hood Struts

Eliminating the factory hood prop on your Ford Mustang is a good way of cleaning up the engine bay
on your 2005-2009 Mustang.  For the 205-2009 Mustang owner there is a simple solution...Hood Struts. Installing a pair of Mustang Hood Struts  should take you less than 45 minutes and requires basic hand tools and no drilling is required.

Some of you may remember when most cars didn't have hood props but used springs that were used
with hinges to support the weight of the hood,  the springs were large and heavy.  Car manufacturers
in the effort to save weight got rid of the bulky spring system and replace it with a lightweight metal
prop rod which saved several pounds.

Bangastang carries Mustang Hood Struts by Cal Pony Cars,  the CPC Mustang Hood  struts attach to
existing holes on your Mustang.  The best part about the CPC Mustang Hood Struts is they're available
in several OEM 2005-2009 Mustang colors.  Torch Red, Windveil Blue, Grabber Orange, Vista Blue
Black to name a few.  A natural satin finish is also available.  Bangastang carries Mustang Hood Struts for the 2005-2009 Mustangs and Shelby GT500  Prices start at $120.00

Mustang Accessories and Parts

For the 2005-2009 Mustang owner that's be been searching to find some new Mustang accessories and parts, we understand your frustration and we've felt your pain.....OUCH!

When the S197 Mustang was released in 2005 a flood gate of Mustang accessories opened and the race was on to outfit your Mustang GT or V6 with all the latest toys.  Window louvers, side scoops, rear spoilers, window scoops, taillight panels, plenum covers and the list continued, but the flood gate
slowed and new designs became scarce.

Looking through the publications of Mustang magazines and attending several Mustang car shows a year you'll be hard pressed to find new Mustang accessories and parts.  Hanging out at a Mustang show in search of fresh Mustang accessories is like watching a Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie, you already know what's going to happen but maybe you'll be entertained.

Some manufactures have got complacent and Mustang owners are bored out of their minds.  Let's
be honest, your die hard car enthusiast is like a Crackhead looking to score their next hit.  The old
smack is not doing it anymore.  Jimmy the Crackhead is looking to score with some stuff that will
keep him on cloud nine for a month.  Jimmy the Crackhead will surf the net until 3am looking to
score that new Mustang accessory that he has to have for his car show on Saturday.  Jimmy the 
Crackhead  has no idea what's he's looking for, but he'll know it when he sees it.  Twenty-five pages
into Google Jimmy the Crackhead finds his next hit of Mustang accessory.....a chrome strut tower
brace.  Jimmy hits the "Buy Now" button and places his order, now the shipping option appears,
Ground, 3-4 days or Overnight,  Jimmy selects Overnight. The flashy chrome strut tower brace is
$199 and Overnight shipping from Maine to California is $250 for a grand total of $449.  Jimmy
doesn't care he needs his fix.  Two days later this chrome strut tower brace arrives via brown truck just
as the sun is setting.  Jimmy rips open the box and lays his bloodshot eyes on his new drug.
The strut tower  brace comes just in time as Jimmy's withdrawal symptons were starting to show.
Jimmy grabs his extension cord, work light and socket set and within fifteen minutes his strut brace is
installed on his Mustang and Jimmy has scored again.

As a manufacture of Mustang accessories and parts it's up to us to create new products for the Ford
Mustang that keep Mustang owners excited.  We must be creative and not complacent.

Mustang Battery and Master Cylinder Cover

The Mustang Battery and Master Cylinder Cover from CPC is the most under-rated '05-'10 Mustang accessory to hit the market.  Since 2005 when the S197 Mustang body style was released the
majority of the accessories manufactured for the retro Mustang were for the exterior or interior,
accessories for the Mustang's engine bay were few.

For the '05-'10 Mustang owner that competes in car shows, dressing up your engine is vital when it
comes to gaining points from the judges.  A engine bay that has been outfitted with dress-up
accessories and detailed will gain a great deal of attention.  Too many times the engine bay is
overlooked in the detailing process.  Oil stains, road grit, water spots and frayed wiring is
common place in the engine bays on the show car circuit.  A dirty engine is a sure way to loose
potential points when competing in car shows.

The Mustangs' engine bay has many areas that can be dressed up with some nice accessories.
Plenum covers, fuse box cover, fuel rail covers, throttle body covers, billet engine caps
and radiator covers are some of the engine dress up accessories on the market today for the
late model Ford Mustang.  Available in a wide variety of materials such as carbon fiber,
injection molded plastic, billet aluminum and fiberglass.  Painted, polished, powder
coated, anodized or chromed are some of your finish options.

There are two components in the Mustang's engine bay that need some attention....the battery
and master cylinder.  Let's face it, looking at a battery and master cylinder is about as
exciting as watching paint dry.....BORING!  The folks with CPC (Cal Pony Cars) came up
with a very innovative product, a Battery and Master Cylinder Cover.  A cover you say,  yes.
Made from  ABS injection molded plastic the Cal Pony Cars Mustang Battery and Master
Cylinder Cover attaches to your cowl and covers your battery and master cylinder for a OEM
look.  The installation process takes under 30 minutes and all you need is a Philips head
screw driver.  The CPC Mustang Battery and Master Cylinder Covers retail for $89.00.

Now for the you Mustang owners that likes to take is up another notch Bangastang will
custom paint the battery and master cylinder covers to match your Mustang.  Painting
the covers will really add some bling to your engine bay.  Many of our customers have
even added decals and badges to give their battery and maser cylinder covers a more custom
look.  Use your imagination I'm sure you can come up with something really cool our customers
sure did.

 

Just a side note the CPC Battery and Master Cylinder Covers were designed to work with

their hood struts, using other brands of hood struts can cause rubbing against the covers.

For the Shelby GT500 owners, Bangastang will trim the master cylinder cover to fit around

your supercharger throttle body for a $10.00 charge.

Mustang Front Splitter

Adding a Front Splitter to your 2005-2009 Mustang GT will enhance the look of your Mustang, by giving it a more a aggressive look.  A Front Splitter also is a performance upgrade because it increases
the downforce of airflow to your front fascia while reducing the turbulence under the car.

If you've ever seen a NASCAR vehicle up close you couldn't help to notice the large Front Splitter that all of them have on their cars.  Aerodynamics plays a big role in the handling of a car and and race teams will spend long hours in a windtunnel doing R&D to insure their cars are aerodynamically sound.

There are a few Mustang Front Splitters on the market for the '05-'09 Mustang GT, most of them are
made of fiberglass which makes them lightweight. Our Front Splitters from Bangastang attach around
the lower fascia and mounts using existing holes, using two screws,  there are no holes to drill or
3M tape to use.  Along the lower fascia of a '05-'09 Mustang GT is a lip with a ridge, our Mustang
Front Splitters snap on over the ridge and around the corners of the bumper.  Our Bangastang Front Splitters are designed to fit your Mustang GT securely without the hassle of drilling holes into your body,  installation takes twenty minutes.
