Baer, Eibach, Borla, Whipple, C/R Racing are just a few companies that Shelby uses in many of their builds. They also produce in house a vast variety of parts as well such as hoods, fascia's, shock braces, grilles, brake duct cooling kits and numerous Cobra parts.
BTW- I completely agree with everything you have said.......I just kinda believe that most can build what they do for less & probably even a little better in some cases...
