springer Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 The SGT/SC was delivered last week and I've been installing a few pieces that I picked-up along the way while waiting for its return from SAI. I'll have to say that the A/C bezel with the autograph of Mr. Shelby definitely finishes out the interior. I got it installed tonight and have attached a couple pics. If anyone is in need of an A/C vent bezel, ready to be autographed, send me a PM. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffIsHereToo Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 That's a cool idea! I wish though we had the replacement CSM plaques with the real deal signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hill Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 That is a really cool spot. Is it easier to remove than the air bag cover? We have our sunvisor signed, but I would like a more visible signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rnoggle Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Looks really good. Question-- Are the louvers on your A/C vents black? or does it just look that way in the pic? I have been looking for the black louvers to put on my SGT. I know they came in black on the GT-500. Wondering how hard they would be to change.

CSM3071 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Yes, how did you remove that panel? My CSM plate came crooked from the dealership and it's been slowly killing me little by little... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have our sunvisor signed, but I would like a more visible signature. It isn't hard to remove the air bag panel. You would have to down the car awhile or order a new panel and they are about $140. The steps are on here. Also it gets you a bigger signature. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springer Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 The A/C vents have a chrome bezel, while the vents are black. I removed my old SGT plate with fishing line - which took it off rather quickly and re-installed it with double-sided tape like the original. You have to remove a few trim pieces from around the stereo, console and glove box. I took it to a friend's body shop and had them changed out. Most body shops, or Ford dealers can complete the change. I didn't care to tackle this project! One thing I forgot to mention, I used some heavy, clear plastic to cover and protect the signature. I cut it out to match the angles of the area below the A/C vents where the signature is located. I cut the plastic long enough so that it fits under SGT plate about a 1/4 inch, which helps hold the protective cover in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have our sunvisor signed, but I would like a more visible signature. The air bag cover is probably easier to remove, but I was looking for a more "conservative" signature location than the air bag cover and thought that under the dash plate would be an appropriate location for me.

I have been looking for the black louvers to put on my SGT. I know they came in black on the GT-500. Wondering how hard they would be to change. The vents just push in and have a clip on each side that holds them in when it is pushed in far enough. If you shine a light in there, you will see the arm or clip on each side. You'll have to put a small screwdriver in there to release the arms. Once released, the vent pulls right out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT-C0056 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I have a new A/C vent panel in front of me that I am going to swap. Looking at it, you have to remove the Air Bag to mount the A/C Panel in order to access the attaching screws. I have replaced the Air Bag cover before, so you might as well get both items taken care of at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT-C0056 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Installed the A/C vent. You have to remove the Glove box, Air bag cover, Instrument panel bezel, under steering wheel panel, and loosen the bolts that hold the radio panel. The A/C vent is attached by 4 bolts, so you have to remove all that to get it. took me about 45 minutes to remove and install. Just disconnect the Airbag and your ok.
