The Shelby GTE is a decent way to spend $18,000 on your Mustang

If you want a little extra power and a whole bunch of flashy kit, the Shelby GTE package could be the Mustang upgrade for you.

If you own a Mustang EcoBoost or a Mustang GT, you can send your car to Shelby to get turned into a GTE.

Power upgrades are minimal -- the 310-horsepower EcoBoost jumps up to 335 horsepower, and the 435-hp GT gets bumped up to 456.

If you can't get your car to Vegas for the upgrades, there are a number of Shelby-approved garages that can do the work, as well.
