^^^ Exactly. I totally understand liking the look of a Saleen and wanting the look for your own Mustang. I love the Saleen look myself. :tup I even understand liking the look of the chevrons on the side. It's when people start misrepresenting their vehicles as genuine Saleen Mustangs that I get urked. I saw one guy with a "For Sale 2004 Saleen" sign on his Mustang - it was a stock GT with a Saleen winshield sticker. :bleh:

There was a car for sale in Edmonton this winter that was listed as an "authentic" Saleen S281 but it was actually SN197 GT with a stock engine, a Saleen body kit, S281 Supercharged badges, and the Saleen interior. It even had a number on the bumper, I can't remember what it was though.

No doubt there a ton of fake Shelby cars. The funny thing i tht they aren't normally very good fakes either. Just saw this one infact.
