andrewnagle1964 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Well I have some old parts I am thinking about keeping and putting on the new White Shelby The SHR Louvers are black and since the window is pretty dark wonder how the black louvers would look. The Agent 47 mirrors since the stock ones are black too Thinking the fuel door and the Shelby Black hood pins as well hmmm Andrew PS this is an appearance mod and absolutely nothing technical nor any claims of expertise are being suggested or offered !

Naa-V-Doc Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Dig the Agent 47 mirrors. I have been thinking about the same thing for my White Shelby. Not sure how hard it would be to put on. My skill is medicine not mech. skills... So, for me, if I do it; it's pay the piper. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahmann Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 The mirrors look awesome! I think the hood pin bases will look sweet in black too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL SHELBY Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I would suggest adding a black grill to the mix helping to tie everything together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew I think by using the black SHR louvers, it would look stealthy, but I like the idea of them matching the body color like they did back in the old days....I'm dying to get a set for my Vista Blue SGT, just can't afford them right now since I'm still out of work for over a year now! I just think if you want people to notice them, get White replacements...if you want Stealthy, use the Black ones...but I'm sure someone would love to have a set of Black ones should you decide to sell them...

JASPONY Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I personally like the black hood pins and i had a black fuel door but after about a month is was black-ish...now it's just a nice gunmetal. it was one of the 1st ones shelby shipped in from China and faded really bad...but now the color is one of a kind so i left it on there. I bet our cars could see each other as they were getting built (#4619). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will put on the black hood pins this weekend along with the clear turn signals, got the clear rear side markers on last night.

i8acobra Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I vote no on any 1/4 window covers. I use mine all the time to check my blind spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texaggie Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I vote no on any 1/4 window covers. I use mine all the time to check my blind spot. +1 on the No block out idea. I have louvers on mine and they work well. They add a little of the "old school" look, help to block the 1/4 windows, and still offer the ability to see when checking blind spots. So, I would suggest that you look around and find some louvers that you like and get them instead. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are coming out of my black totaled Shelby and into the new white Shelby They are Silver Horse Racing Lexan total replacements not covers.

LuLu Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Andrew...I have some wheels you may be interested in. Originally a Ford Racing offering (M--1007-M188P), they were used as a production line wheel on the 2003/2004 Mercury Marauders, and later became an "upgrade" offering on the 2005-2009 Mustang GT at the point of purchase. This may have wiped out the inventory on hand. Nice wheels, if the eye appeal suits you. Excellent wheels if you want to carve corners, none better. 18X8", 4.5" bolt circle, 6.295 back spacing, 50mm offset, with center caps, lug nuts and TPMS sensors included. A perfect fit on the SGT. Full Alcoa forged aluminum wheels, powder coated black spokes with high polish rims/lips. Wish I had a pic to post, but I can say that from a distance of 3 feet or more, they appear to be identical to the stock SGT wheels as they came on the black editions. BTW...The stock wheels are not forged, but cast, and this is important to anyone who is into high speed twisties. These wheels will accept up to a 265 wide tire with no issues, but I suggest you consider a conservative profile of 255 wide. I have five (5) wheels, with TPMS sensors, bands, lug nuts and center caps (not Shelby) for four of them. I drove LuLu over a year on these wheels and I can attest to their mechanical performance. They also look very good on any SGT. 100 bucks a wheel, and you pay shipping, which may be a deal breaker in today's financial climate. Wheels are in mint condition and ready for install.. Call me at 312.401.1396 if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
