SMGT Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Just picked up at Noon today! It left Vegas Monday morning and arrived here in Western NY 8AM this morning. I liked the shifter right away and have hit every gear but the effort is a little higher than I would like and I am hoping it will break in. Car gets a lot of attention and it sounds amazing. Very fun to drive. In addition to what you can see in the pics it also has the IUP and sequential tail lights which are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and hang in there. After all this waiting - since Dec - today did not even seem real. The car is a blast you will love it. And SAI painted the fascia but the mirrors were covered with DG mirror covers that they painted to match and they did a nice job. I think I had those about three months before I got the actual car!!

ShelbyGT/SC Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Congrats! Noticed, painted mirrors and front lower valance. Nice touch. Congrats. I noticed the matching white mailbox post with attached black mailbox sticking out the top of the roof. Love it. Wish I had that option. I also noticed a small pebble stuck in the tread of your rear tire. It's right on the very top. And, there is one tiny bubble in the stripe on the bumper. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattInDetroit Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 . And, there is one tiny bubble in the stripe on the bumper. Matches mine! Seriously congratulations! The shifter gets WAY better!

Have fun! hey when did you order the car and when did it get to SAI? Thanks all. And that hood scoop is driving me crazy - oh wait I don't have one! Have not had a chance to inspect all the stripes yet but the car looks pretty clean so far. And the car was ordered in December, built at the beginning of March, and it arrived at SAI late March. Since I posted late last night I forgot the best part about getting the car yesterday. I decided to surprise my 3 year old daughter and pick her up at day care in the Shelby. She is very educated and has been asking, "Daddy why is your car taking so long?". I did not feel like getting in to discussions with a three year old about waiting for the mod shop to come on line so I just told her to be patient. Anyway after I loaded her in to the car and started the engine her firs comment was, "Bear, Growl!!" Then she had fun finding all the horses on the car as she loves all animals and whenever I took her to a dealer to look at Mustangs she would always point out all the horses on the car. She and the wife love the car so I guess it's a keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDave_merged Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I've had mine for 2 week and it keeps getting better. Got the hang of the shifter. Pretty smooth now. I didn't know Shelby would paint mirrors and facia??? Looks really nice. My kids (12 and 7 year old boys) beg to go for rides. Bonding is great but I have a feeling they are thinking, inheritance.

SAI painted the fascia but the mirrors are covered. Bought them prepainted from DG Custom auto. I like these better than the ones that only cover the top of the mirror. www.dgcustomauto.com. Took me about 5 minutes to install both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know I could get the hood without the pins or I may have ordered it that way. Nice call. I'm glad to see the cars with lesser modifications are making it through the mod shop. My Arrived at SAI date was in mid April so hopefully i'll see mine soon. Man the waiting is hard. Enjoy your car! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Shelby_merged Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 SMGT--Nice car, tasteful mods. I did not have the patience to wait on mods, but your selection pretty much mirrors what I would have chosen. Regarding the DG mirror covers; they came prepainted from DG? Five minute install...are you happy with the mounting procedure and quality? I too like the full cover. Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave c Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 SMGT, Car looks great. Lower facsia....excellent choice and the matching mirrors.

Yes you order them in the color you want and they already have the 3M double sided tape in them. I cleaned my mirrors with alcohol, did a test fit, then peeled all the tape and pressed them on. That's it and they look great. Paint quality seems to be very good and a great match. SMGT, Car looks great. Lower facsia....excellent choice and the matching mirrors.

Very happy with the hood choice. It looks great from the outside and especially cool from the driver's seat. Also got the sequential tail lights and they are great.
