The first is a carbon fiber hood vent, which replaces the standard plastic unit with a full carbon unit. Sticker price there is $1185, an absolute steal when compared to the $1820 carbon fiber splitter that is sure to get annihilated by any speed bump you happen upon. You can also get a carbon version of the bar that separates the upper and lower grille, prominent real estate for your $1150 investment. Last, the cheapest option is a rear decklid trim panel that slides a hunk of carbon in between the taillights. That one goes for $575. Wes Duenkel/Ford Wes Duenkel/Ford

We reported on January 5 that Ford was planning on bringing a new option to the GT500 to split the difference between the Handling Pack and the Carbon Fiber Track Pack. Today reports suggest that the package will cost $10,000.
The information comes thanks to an order form shared with Musclecarsandtrucks by a customer. That price point would make the new “Carbon Fiber Handling Package” considerably less expensive than the $18,500 Carbon Fiber Track Pack, but would be equally considerably more expensive than the $1,500 Handling Pack.
For your $10,000, you would get, arguably, the CFTP’s highlight feature, the carbon fiber wheels. Whereas they are finished so that you can see the weave of the carbon fiber in that package, though, they would be painted black for the CFHP.
