menerso Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I just purchased a 2010 GT500 Black with silver and I want to get the Carroll Shelby signature plaque for the dash, but when I talked to the Shelby organization, they said that they don't have a 2010 badge for the GT500. They recommended to send in the passenger airbag cover. I was wondering if anyone had done this and if they had a picture of it. Should I have them put the vin by the signature? Let me know what you think. marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakeinAZ Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I have 1 of each. I think it's a bit much. Of the two the airbag cover is the best and gets noticed much more quickly. I don't think anyone has sent in a 2010 airbag cover yet so no comment on the installation etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bish Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I think the air bag cover would look best and I want to have it done too but I'm unsure on how to remove the cover. I was waiting for someone on this site to do a write up on it, I don't want to be the test subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANADA GUY Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Same for me! I HAVE BLACK WITH SILVER AND WANT A SIGNATURE ADDED.WHAT WOULD BE THE COST FOR A NEW COVER. MAYBE SHELBY COULD STOCK SOME ALREADY SIGNED TO AVOID THE DOUBLE SHIPPING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menerso Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I found this link for removal. Not sure if if will work for 2010, but worth a try. http://forum.teamshelby.com/forums/index.p...st&id=24067 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT/SC2873 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I just took mine by a friend's body shop. It took them a total of 15 minutes with trash talk to remove. Unless there has been major changes I think it was 4 bolts, unclip the harness and it's out. Actual cover was held onto the airbag assy by 3 tabs at the top and 3 tabs at the bottom. I just put the airbag unit in a box away from everything else and mailed the trim cover only to Shelby Foundation. DO NOT KEEP THE AIRBAG UNIT IN THE CAR OR IN THE TRUNK.

menerso Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Are you going to have your VIN number put on the cover with Shelby's sig like on the plate ones or just a signature? You are just leaving the airbag out of the car until you get the plate back? I may have to try that this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to give Shelby a call back and tell them to check their own publication. It CLEARLY shows a badge for the 2010 GT500. On pge 84 of "Shelby 2009 Annual Driving Machines" (I bought mine at Pep-Boys) it shows a photo of a plaque with the caption 2010 Console Plaque. The photo shows it has; "CS Shelby" logo (across the top, in blue) Carroll Shelby signature (Large blue letters) VIN NUMBER (small red letters) SHELBY GT500 (small blue letters) It appears to be mounted just ahead of the shifter boot where the small "Sync" badge is located. The description is as follows: 2010 CONSOLE PLAQUE Shelby Peromrance Parts' console plaque is the ultimate Shelby accessory for the 2010 Shelby GT500 owners. Made from solid 6061 billet aluminum, the plate is manufactured by the same supplier that builds dash plaques for Shelby Automobiles. This one features a genuine Caroll Shelby signature, as signed by the man himself. (Note: Due to multiple levels of manufacturing, including Caroll Shelby's personal signature, allow for a minimum of 8-10 weeks form the date of purchase for this kit to be completed). Someone at Shelby needs to learn their product catalog! HTH, Phill Pollard 2010 Kona Blue/White GT500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH, Phill Pollard 2010 Kona Blue/White GT500 I saw it too and had try to call SPP and also i had email them because it is not on the webside from them but i still waiting for a answer. Have send them already 4 mails and had try to call them around 20 times in the last 2 weeks but nothing. Shelby need to think about it to sell everything with the shelby store because then it works. SPP they have NO service even the webside search option show still only 05 to 08 not even 09 and 2010. So it looks like i need to send in my own airbag cover to get a Carroll Shelby signature in my car. I be really happy that i can buy stuff here in the shelby store!!!

FiaCobra Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I would simply remove the cover and send it out to get signed. No need to buy an additional one. As for the signature itself, just go with his normal signature and forget about adding the VIN #. If you want the VIN #, get the dash plaque instead.

I bought the Ford shop manual for the 2010. Differences are: you need to pull fuse 31 for teh depowering procedure, and unbolt (Torx 25) and set aside the APIM underneath the airbag module before you can get to the module bolts/harness. Removing the cover from the module is the same. Maybe I'll do a writeup soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And GAF Soldier is right, the SPP site still shows the 2008 catalog of parts. NOTHING listed for 2010, I can tell you that... Considering these 2010's have been on the road since April/May there is definitely a shortage of modding parts available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, turnaround for the signature in December was about three weeks, tops! It's not hard at all. I can scan the relevant service manual pages for you if you'd like. The hardest part is removing / reattaching the cover to the module. Just gotta be patient. Gotta pay attenion to the details, you don't want your airbag blowing up in your face, or splitting open that newly signed airbag cover. Also, I'm thinking that by taking out the fuse and checking that the airbag light stays on, I might have to take it in to have some codes cleared. Not sure though. Has anyone else out there pulled the fuse as described in the power/depower airbag procedure? Did you have any error codes that needed clearing? Looks like some people just unhooked the battery, but I'd rather follow the directions in the manual. See scans below. The '07 manual page for the cover removal / install on the module is the same word-for-word as the '10 so I copied the pdf from another post rather than scanning it all over again.

jsarkis Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Since the car is made by Ford,not Shelby, why the signature--IMHO I didn't realize Mr. Shelby turned wrenches on any of the models, any year or sat and helped in quality control. I do think he helped with specifications, engineering and ideas over all these years. Does that make it a Shelby? I think they needed his "approval" to move the snake badge on the grill in 2010. Some people put way too much stock into the name of the shop these cars are built in imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I didn't realize Mr. Shelby turned wrenches on any of the models, any year or sat and helped in quality control. Really? You're kidding me, right? Don't 'cha know nuttin'? Mr. Shelby hand-built each and every Shelby GT500 and GT500KR that hit the showroom floor. Him personally, with his own two hands. No, really. Hey, I'm serious. Stop laughing. A friend of my 3rd cousin's best friends aunt on his fathers side knows Carroll Shelby peronally, and he told me so too. That, and I read it on the Internet...so it *must* be true. And if you look it up on Wickapedia, it'll confirm it. You wanna hear about Elvis's Harley he found in a barn, or the lady that sold her dead son's '54 chevy for 200 bucks too? How about a bridge I have for sale? You interested?
