Vette Killer Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hey All, I came across this and if it is true I think this is just not right on so many levels. I can't support the validity of the information as I have no first hand dealings with this. http://www.spokentorque.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1517 Maybe it is time for one of those protests in front of SAI like the farmers do in Washington every year or two....

SPRSNK Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I was told the same thing about the parts on my Terlingua. I'd have to send them back to SAI to get new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckySnake Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I think anyone that can add... knows what this will do to KR insurance rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500_Grad Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 the KR prices are set by Ford not SAI. A few SAI reps and I were talking about the differences in prices between their parts and the KR. And they are nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matyellott Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I would sue frankly. Or park at the ford dealership you bought if from all day satuerday with a banner on your car until they made it right. This is not the way to do business, not at all.

silver08elly Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Isnt the same exact air splitter they show here the one we can get from SPP for like 649? Not 4G's and some change? I think this is a vandetta against ford and shelby..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Morris Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I reread the post on the other forum. I just dont think that the hood would be 24K!! I could be wrong! The HID light is 1000 a piece and they said 600! Something is fishy with the story. Im going to look into from the SAI side and see if I can find anything out!

Dale Jerome Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 This thread has sounded fishy from the beginning. I know it's not the same hood, but the Super Snake hood is available from SPP for $1099. What's missing from this story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Morris Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 This could all be put to rest with some PROOF!!!! We have hear say and everyone jumps on the I hate Shelby and Ford bandwagon. I will be the FIRST to say Im sorry when someone shows me where Ford OR SAI is asking these prices! Nothing from stopping me from posting on a website that Chevy wants 25K for the hood on a new Corvette! Only thing stopping me is PROOF!!! The thread talked about if someone stole your hood how would you get one if you didnt have one to send back??? All SAI every ask me on the Hertz car was PROOF I owned the car. A few pictures and I got a complete set of stripes! Ford NOT SAI put the VIN on EACH hood! Ford had the hoods made and SHIPPED to SAI for the KRs! I looked it up yesterday and you have to call FORD RACING to get the hood. Cant just order it thru a dealer. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewheelman Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Uh huh, a little on the fishy side to me too. I've never dealt with SAI like this, but my one encounter at the shop in Vegas tells me that there's more to this story than we're being told. My experience has told me that no matter what the car--Shelby or something really exotic, the insurance guys have a bead on replacement parts like a Marine sniper. You can't fool those guys much. Sounds like someone's got a grudge against Ford and SAI. Gotta see some proof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver08elly Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 WTF. Is it like these parts are carbon fiber and 24k gold laced with platinum and diamond reinforced? Seriously cuz there is no reason for this. None. It kind of makes me pissed and i dont even own one of the KR's. If this is true i am disgusted with both companies.

It is what it is. Over 20k for a hood and 4515.00 for a splitter. Yes, the headlight is 950.00 each And NO the splitter you mentioned is not the same as on the SPP site, dream on, you are also wrong on where and who the hood is shipped from. Its shipped from Las Vegas. Is that where Ford is located? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCD Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 If it's a true story it sucks about the long hold up but as for the price of the parts I kinda understand it... Is that not why they are so expensive to begin with? Add that stuff up, throw in the suspension and tuner mods and it almost works out to the msrp diff between the GT500 and the KR... I have had a few drinks tonight so my math and reasoning may be off a bit... I think there is a hole in the cup too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
