Here is my build of my 2013 Shelby Convertible. Car is completed for the most part, but I figured I would share with you my build. Bought the car and knew I wanted to immediately do something different with it that you just don't see, especially on American muscle/sports cars.
Ton of my pictures you can just find on my instagram too - see sig
Bought the car new in June. Added some power almost immediately (because you can never have too much), and I eventually broke ground on installing the suspension and wheels in September.
Part 1: Minor bump in power and small aethetics
First started off installing a cold air intake, throttle body and custom tune. Also installed a catless midpipe but removed it since I got tired of the smell.
Upgraded throttle body
Upgraded intake
I absolutely **** orange reflectors/bulbs so those had to go next
Part 2: Wheels and Suspension
Airlift Performance Suspension Kit with V2 Digital Control
Rotiform BLQ Wheels
-20x10 paired with 285/35/20 Toyo R888 in the Front
-20x12 paired with 315/30/20 Toyo R888 in the Rear
Pulled the car in the shop... last time it will ever sit this high.
Before installing the suspension, I needed to remove these rear bump stop brackets for added clearance of the 12" wheels. There simply there for the solid axle bump stops to hit them if the car bottoms out.
Cleaned it up
Started drilling through the spot welds 4 contact points on top and then 5 on the bottom. It's easy, but just really time consuming.
Bracket removed.
Sanding down the small edges left
Making it look factory
Finished it off with gloss black
Both brackets removed
Needed to relocate the bump stops inward, so this is a kit I used.
