Cross your fingers for me! Jer Hope your luck will be as good as mine. I used Bell Ford in Phoenix for the same issues. Took a month to get the new scoop and stripes, but then I got a break. They were so neat and professional when changing out the scoop, that we never had to touch the original stripes. We instead used the new stripes on my GT 500 spoiler, which they painted and installed. Highly recommend these guys.

Jer Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Thanks, guys... yeah, nothing to do now but wait. Sigh... I'm being optimistic, no sense freaking out unless I've got a reason to. Looking forward to posting great news soon. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormracer Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Well I am getting the scoop warrantied. But no go on the stripes. So I had enough BS with it, I am getting them done by a guy here in Medford that is really good and has done other Shelbys. He is doing the whole job including material(warrantied for 7 years) for $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Let me know I when you actually get scheduled for the work. I have been waiting for my second set of stripes (dealer screwed up the first set) since September! They keep telling me the stripes are on backorder! If you are scheduled before me I'll have words with the dealer that shouldn't be said in front of small children, grandmothers, and the U.S. Marines!

If you are scheduled before me I'll have words with the dealer that shouldn't be said in front of small children, grandmothers, and the U.S. Marines! ALWAYS verify such claims with SA or Ford Warranty. If the dealer messed up the stripes they are out of their pocket now materials AND labor. So be sure to verify they have been ordered and get an estimated delivery date. There is no reason to call the dealer, call SA or Ford Warranty for updates. One of my dealers delayed me and then tried to pass off "close enough" stripes after they messed up to save a few hundred dollars. I feel their pain but they messed them up! I would also suggest you read the Stripe Thread and find yourself a good auto-graphics shop to do the work. Have the dealer sub-contract to them with the Ford labor allowance going to the shop and you pay the difference. IMHO! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity... even if the restiction was lifted, it was nice to have a quick way to access the info and get updates about stipes and scoop issues. But ya can't please everybody all the time, eh? A thought is to have a closed sticky thread with links to good "repository" threads such as those, akin to the TSB and Warranty ones. -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, I think, the stripes are a moving target as the cars get older, other experiences, and things change, so I decided to just let things run their course. The real driving issue back in 2007/8 was the day that almost every other thread was a hood scoop or stripe thread. It was crazy! I think we're past that now and anyone using the search will find the threads pretty quick. Until then I'll do my best to point people to the right place.

Hers is going in next month to get some issues corrected with the stripes and scoop. I had my dealership start working on this back in January so that there wouldn't be any surprises. I hope this all goes smooth. Good luck with you as well, Jer. Bring us some good news on your updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea re: the rivet holes. All I know is the end result. They removed the old scoop, replaced it with the new one, and never touched the existing stripes. Absolutely zero damage to the naked eye. Here is information you may want to act on; Rick Anderson, Body Shop Mgr. Bell Ford 2401 W. Bell Rd. Phoenix, AZ 85023 602-564-3141 As a point of reference mention they did my 2007 black SGT last week ...good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving up with my son tomorrow......cant wait to see it. Did they re-stripe the whole car under warranty? I know they'll do the hood stripes if they were damaged by the warping old scoop under warranty. Was there another issue? I only ask because as soon as I trust the weather up here, I'll dig the car out of the garage and head down to Tasca to start a warranty claim. It would be easier to ask for the Dale's 08 SGT special. On a separate note, has anyone asked Tasca to cut a hole under the scoop as others have done (at an extra cost)? -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stripes had spots on them from day one when we picked up the car, bumper to bumper. There was also a corrosion issue around the hood pin plates, that has been fixed and painted under warranty as well. New hood scoop as well. We sent in all the pics and it was approved, work was finished this week, Im picking the car up tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormracer Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Just dropped of my car to be restriped and have the new hood scoop and pins installed. Shelby warrantied the scoop and pins but not the stripes. Also I had my scoop painted all black like my car, and it will stay that way. I am having my stripes wrap around the base of the scoop. I also had installed the Shelby GT500 style spoiler which will get restripped. While there at the shop that is dong the work I see that they had the new type of window tint. The IR type, so they also are going to retint my whole car with that type. That will be a dramatic improvement for the summer time comng up. I get to pick it up next Friday, CANT WAIT! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07CSM0260 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Three sets of stripes, close to 4 months and I picked the car up yesterday AFTER I had the stripe painted on. The first set of stripes arrived and were scratched. I had to wait again for them to become available. Next set arrived & dealer had bubbles in them. Next set had scratches again after installation. Dealer agreed waiting for another set was out of the question so they were painted on, scoop installed, new lanyards installed and my wife has her car back. It looks amazing!!! Glad to have it back so I can install brakes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Update: Got an email from the dealer (only a month after bringing it in, that's awesome)... Looks like I've been cleared for warranty replacement on the stripes, scoops, and hood pins. No word on the rusted hood or mufflers. In other words, Shelby's hooking me up, Ford (SVT) is dragging their feet. Heh. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tko211 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Trying to get stripes sent from Shelby to the body shop for warranty claim... Anyone know who I can contact and how to reach them at Shelby. It's been almost 2 months and no luck so far. Thanks fellow SGT owners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 A few days shy of a 4 month wait for warranty... finally went over to the dealer. He said the only part they're waiting for is the second FRPP muffler. Scoop, stripes, hoodpins, etc... are ready to go. So I told him I'd pick up the mufflers whenever they come in, but LET'S GET THE CAR RESTRIPED, RESCOOPED AND GET THE RUST OUTTA MY HOOD. My stripes are EASILY the worst I've ever seen. They're rusty, peeling, little stretched slices all over them... just HORRIBLE. Roger asked me to please NOT park in front of my workplace, he was ashamed to have people see them <he was half-kidding>. BTW, Shelby had their side of the parts supply at the dealer pronto. Roger even called the dealer and gave him a hard time about making me wait... Ford SVT is the big holdout, and I can tell you - after seeing racks of finished SGT scoops in the warehouse at Shelby, I'm pretty convinced the DEALERS are also FULL OF you-know-what. I'm dropping the car off Monday. They said it will be "one solid week". I'll post pix when complete. Now I gotta find some aluminum sheetmetal screws. I don't want steel ones going back in that hood after it's fixed. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
