chrisminx Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 They do come as a set. You should get ALL the letters. Had to have mine replace twice. Make sure the spacing is correct!! Let me know if you need the correct spacing dimensions to give them. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for a week you have to drive a S H E L Y ?? Something sounds funny. They reused all my letters. Maybe they broke the "B" somehow when they were taking it off.

angrrmgt Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 i pick it up today at 2pm. they wanted an extra day to detail it. i was told today that the only letters on the car are the s and y. i was told they have to ship back the "helb". sounds fishy to me.

My car is in the shop now! I went to several dealers and was told by 2 that all badges/ letters must be replaced once removed and told by another, that they simply replace the adhesive backing.... I went with the guy who simply replaces the adhesive backing. I want to preserve as much of my original gear as possible, anyway I feel it is a waste of time and money (albeit not mine) to order all new letters. I have asked for the original scoop to be saved for me. I'm going to hang it on my wall of shame next to my wrecked R/C helecopter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekheavy Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I'm interested in the stripes. Are they centered 1" apart ALL the way? I got my car back a couple weeks ago and my hood stripes were no where near even. Behind the scoop was fine, but right in front of the scoop they start out at 1 1/4" and go down to 7/8" by the grill.

I'm waiting for them to get an approval from Shelby to send them a second set of stripes at the Dealer's cost. According to the dealer, Shelby will only send you one set of replacement stripes per car under warrany. After that, it is the dealers responsibily if they screw up the install.

Behind the scoop was fine, but right in front of the scoop they start out at 1 1/4" and go down to 7/8" by the grill. I wish I had a dollar for every time this has happened. The 7/8" at the bottom isn't too bad at all BUT the 1 1/4" is due to the way the hood curves and unless the installer works the stripes they will bow outwards. I had mine ripped off and redone. Now the dealer will fight you on this because it's out of their pocket now. They will also, when they find out how $$$ these are, try to use stripes that match and not stripes from SPP. Word to the wise from experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Missed this...yes, if the deraler messes up it's on their dime! Verify with SPP that they ordered the stripes. There really is no "approval" other than they verify that the car is an SGT and that they need to replace the stripes. I would verify that the order was placed with SPP.

I don't think you are supposed to be able to keep the original scoop. SAI requires the dealer to send it to them, so it can't be used on a clone.
