SHELBYGUY Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 LETS START A TOPIC OF NEW ITEMS THAT SHELBY/SHELBY PERFORMANCE PARTS SHOULD CONSIDER FOR THE SGT. THIS COULD BE FUN AND INTERESTING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE FOLLOWING: REAR BAER BRAKE CALIPER A INSERT TO MATCH SHELBY GAUGES BACKGROUNG FOR FATORY SPEEDO/TACH/ECT AIR BAG EMBLEM BERG DESIGN OR CS POLISHED ALUM STRUT BRACEDESIGNED TO FIT WITH PLENUM COVER A ONE PIECE RADIATOR COVER THAT COVER FENDER TO FENDER WITH OPENING TO SEE SHELBY PLATE ON THE RIGHT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69dejavue Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I suggest Gift Certificates. When people ask what you want for Father's Day, Christmas, Birthday, etc tell them to give you a Shelby Gift Certificate. It is always the right size, always the right color as you pick from the catalogue yourself. Never have to return another purple tie or fondue pot. What you want, when you want. And if you save up enough you can save for that supercharger! It would speed up your savings for wheels, brakes, interior pieces, spoilers, etc. SAI should be happy as they would be making money up front, when bought, and sales they would not ordinarily make. Sounds win-win to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPP-Keith Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi guys, I like the idea of this post. Hopefully we will have our own section for this very soon! I guess we forgot to put in the last catalog that we do have gift certificates! We have $25, $50 and $100 denominations available. Some other good news is that the rear brake caliper is already in the works. Now the strut tower brace in aluminum, were you referring to GT500 or GT? I know we are working on both but I can tell you more pending your questions application- I will also tell you that a steering wheel cover may be tricky due to liability reasons involving airbag deployment in an accident but if there is enough interest, I'm sure it could be something that is pursued more aggresively. I will check on the post frequently and see what I can pass on to R&D and the rest of the Shelby team- Regards, -Keith- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely interested in this: A ONE PIECE RADIATOR COVER THAT COVER FENDER TO FENDER WITH OPENING TO SEE SHELBY PLATE ON THE RIGHT Have looked at the cheap plastic ones available and besides looking ghetto they do cover the shelby CSM plate.

ilmor Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I like all these ideas so far, including the steering wheel cap. As for the Baer rear caliper, is a Baer front caliper already available? Will both of these fit the stock Bullit 18" wheels? Other ideas - Engine valve covers for the 4.6 that have S H E L B Y embossed on them. - CAI system like the Bullit Mustang has that works with our 95(?) MAF sensor and revised tune if necessary. - "CS" wheel hubcaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The calipers are engraved "Shelby", and the BaerClaw logo is present. The matching rear kit is larger rotors and caliper bracket only, it employs the stock rear caliper. The front kit will not fit inside the stock SGT wheel, you need a 50mm offset or greater. The rear kit will fit just fine. The stock SGT induction kit from FRP has a 90mm MAF. Can't say I understand why you think the Bullitt induction is any better, looks the same to me. Have I missed something? The next step up the MAF line from FRP is the 113mm, and you will have to recalibrate your tune upon install. There are wheel center caps that say "Shelby GT", I'd like to see them with a red background rather than black. But, that's just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPP-Keith Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'll be reading this. I don't make the decisions but I can help speak on your behalf when the time comes. The Baer setup being worked on (no promises) incorporates a replacement rear claiper with Shelby engraved on it. The specifics on our current aluminum brace that is now available and shipping is that it will fit over the plenum cover (barely). In testing some cars have had rubbing issues under WOT but nothing has broke. I have to say that we do recommend removing the cover for this piece, unfortunately. I suppose it depends on what you are willing to live with. Keep the constuctive feedback coming, please. I'll be sure and bring things up- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69dejavue Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Keith, the vast majority of people that bought the SGT will keep the 18" Bullitt wheels for a variety of reasons. First, we like the classic Cragar S/S mag look. Second, we don't have the money or desire to buy different wheels and tires. So that leaves the vast majority with the stock wheel that want an upgraded brake package that will fit the stock wheel. That is where the demand, and sales, will come from. Give us a very good, colorful, efficient brake package for the stock 18" wheels WITHOUT an off set. AND KEEP IT SHELBY !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bullit setup isolates the air filter from the engine compartment much more completely, and the underhood insulator is different so that is form-fits the "box". It also appears to be set up so that it gets its intake air more directly from the front of the car, as well as the fender area. I suspect that the intake air temperature is much more ideal with this setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT/SC2873 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 While this is not a mod, it is something I have been looking for ever since we bought our Shelby and for that matter, the other two Mustangs...we have been looking for a "qaulity" album to document each of our vehicles for those that will eventually inherit these cars. Needless to say, we have yet to find any quallity albums! I think it would be great if TS or SAI offered two qaulity albums for this purpose. Both could be leather embossed covers and/or another high quality material with the TS and CS logo's embossed on the front cover top/bottom. In the center you could put an embossed circle that would allow the purchaser to customize their album. For example, I would like to have a Berg Faux gas cap say in a smaller version (one that would fit the steering wheel) you could also include others for the GT500, etc..etc and put a disclaimer this is for the album use only. This emblem would be seperate price from the album and would attach with 3M adhesive stips in the embossed circle. Then if by chance I mistakingly orderd 2 and one ended up on my steering wheel ...well you get the picture. I would like for this album to have inserts, say 25-50 at an initial offering that would hold pics and service documents, etc. I could then order inserts as needed in addition to the initial offering. For the second album which would be essentially the same as above except the second one would come with an insert letter from Mr. Shelby and signed by him personally addressed to the CSM no. and/or owner. This album could be priced the same as the first one, except for an additional charge of $250 to benefit Mr. Shelby's foundation. So, what do you think?? Would there be any takers? I would!

I know you are a busy person but if someone could let us know what is the status on things we have been waiting a long time for it would be great. The lower light kit for instance. What happens is one of of calls SPP, after we wait from the last time we found out info, and whomever answers the phone says "not in yet maybe next month". It has become a running joke amongst the community. And it ends up making SPP look bad IMO and causes some to get PO'd. In the end it just hurts all of us, you guys included. I am not asking for a detailed list of meetings and progress but just an honest time frame for things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
