Welcome to the SAAC forum. You need to mention the Shelby VIN number and when the car was finished at Shelby (build date). There were different lower grills and fiberglass tail panels depending on when the car was built. The VIN and build date help determine which is most correct. Best of luck with your search.

Hello "FordGT", with reference to Bob's post and the grille portion of your search, if you haven't already seen this thread you may want to look at it:
http://www.saacforum.com/index.php?topic=1020.0

On the fiberglass tail light panels there are at least 4 iterations (?).  The two most obvious are the "flat" held on with four studs,  and the "raised" held to the car with rivets across the top lip covered by the deck lid when the trunk is closed, and some variations of these.  The raised was to move the tail light units out more so there was more room in the trunk for the spare tire & wheel.The Shelby completion date and Shelby VIN can help to determine what was most likely on the car when new. 

That info will help get you the parts you're looking for.

JD and Bob, thanks for your responses.  Build date of my car is January and the original tail light panel is the flat style panel.  When I bought this car the original owner gave me pictures of the car when it was new from the dealer and the rear panel was also painted silver instead of color coded to the car.

Thanks
