Eph.2:8-9 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 My dealer called about 8:30 this morning and said it arrived! :happy feet: :happy feet: I wanted to leave work today but could not get my wife to leave her work. We are planning on leaving first thing in the morning. the drive is about 3 hours. I will watch the pdi inspection. Plan on making the day out of it. Last week I found out that my car was on quality hold and today it showed up at my dealer. Hear is how mine took place for anyone who is interested. 2 years ago in Nov. i found out about the shelby and put my name on about 6 dealers list. Was first on the list at my dealer. ordered the car on May 29th from non svt and pa. Was notified that the car would be built on the week of the 23rd and delivered the week of the 30th. After that did not happen found out that my car was put on quality hold. Showed up today. I will be back this evening!! Max Sorry it took so long for the pics and to get back but I have been driving. I have 500 miles on my car know and I do have one issue with a bubble on the side wall of my rear tire. Other than that the car does not have a scratch. What power! As you can see I have a weekness for rear louvers. Thanks Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprint200 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Congrat's Max! Hope the weather cooperates with you in St. Louis, it would not be good weather down here today. Besides being a blast to drive, hopefully your car will be an opportunity to build relationships and share the Good News with a few people you might not have otherwise met! I will constantly be reminding myself to worship the Giver and not the gift. Godspeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grabber Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Max: Seems you have been Blessed in more than one way!

I will constantly be reminding myself to worship the Giver and not the gift. Godspeed. I had to remind my self of that exact same thing. I pray that it will give me more of an opportunity to do just that. I drove my car home from IL which was about a 3 hr drive and was that fun. My dealer was great (Jim Hayes Inc.). Let me be part of the pdi. They put my scoops on an ordered me another manual as they did not want me to break the seal on the original. Put my rear louvers on today. If I can figure out how to post the pics I will. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many people always given a thumbs up or asking questions its great. I can not say enough about my dealer. My car had 7.5 miles on it. They pulled it right off the truck and locked it up in their new building that has not open up yet. It was cool as I walked in the new building my car was the only one in there. all the wraps still on. My car did not have a scratch on it, tapes good. I would like it to be a little more louder but thats it. Its what I imagined. I need to learn how to post my pics. I put rear louvers on and wood like some feed back. What have you heard about yours? Max Congrats. Max We will have to meet soon, I should have my car next week as well. Enjoy Thats GREAT! Iam glad things worked out for you! Let me know as soon as you get yours so we can drive them together. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scroll down and click the "browse" tab. This will allow you to find your photo in your computer. Then double click on the photo once you find it. Then click "add this attachment" . My Shelby order has been accepted by the Ford. I am just waiting for a build date and a VIN. It could be a while. I had to look up verse 8-9 this evening. You picked a good one. I can't wait to see some photos. PM me if you need some help posting them, I will walk you thru it over the phone. Your brother in Christ, Rob.

Your car looks great with those 2 mods. That is the cool thing about cars and Mods, everyone has there own desire on what they want to do to the car. I like the look. This is the 1st one I have seen. However, I had louvers on a Camaro in the 80's and did not like cleaning them or the back window! Enjoy your ride my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSR Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Max, I had just previously started a thread asking if anyone had rear louvers on their GT500. And then you post pics. of your car with louvers. I knw everyone has their own opinion, but the louvers don't look bad at all. It make the car look more nostalgic. I say it looks pretty good. I found a company that has a non-metal set that would eleviate rattling and seems to be a bit lower profile than yours. I would like to see them on a Shelby and my chances may be slim, but in all your car looks pretty good with the louvers. Once again, Congrats. and your car looks awsome and unique.

John I was planning on having a body shop that I know paint mine, but after I installed mine I like the black as it goes with every thing else. Had others tell me to leave them black. I have the same ones on my 98gt that my son drives and they have held up very well. there a quality louver that is one piece and no holes to drill and they are hinged for window cleaning. the name of them are Visus. there Aluminium.

Eph.2:8-9 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Max, Where did you get your side scoops & louvers? MTNTOM Hi Mtntom My rear louvers are Visus and I purchased them through MRT Direct. I am very happy with them as they are one piece and made from Aluminium. There is no drilling and there hinged to clean the rear window. I also have them on my 98 gt and have held up very well. The side scoops I purchasrd from Atlanta auto acc. and I also are very happy with them as the paint matched. I did paint the inside black becaus they come grey and I did not want to see that from the inside. I have had a lot of compliments on them as they look factory.

clutch Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 The scoops on his car are made by Razzi. Steeda also sells them. Just received mine today. They are held on by 3M tape. Not overly happy with the paint job, they'll have to be re-done. I'd send them back, but it is a real pain in the wallet to do that from Canada. I'd order them unpainted if you know of a good body shop where you live. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Marc Ha Marc As Clutch said they do stick on with 2 sided tape by 3-m. I took a hair dryer and heated up the window somewhat so they would stick better. I am sorry to hear that Clutch's did not match his paint very well but mine did match well. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
