cgguy09 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hey guys, So I bought my Shelby GT almost a year ago, after graduating from a Service Academy (I figured if I'm not allowed to have a car for four years when I get one it better be good) & now I finally have enough money to start putting some work into the girl. I'm looking at starting with some interior upgrades. I just ordered the Premium Floor Mats (Shelby GT Berg style...of course) and a couple other things. So my questions are... What have other people bought & do they like it? & is there anything that NEEDS to be done...other then the Carrol Shelby Signature on the Passenger side airbag...I'm doing that at the begining of June. Also I was looking at the Shelby Emerg. Hand Brake handle, & it looked a little bulky. So I guess the other question is, is there anything I should stay away from? Any input you guys want to give I'm open to. Thanks! -Colin Fogarty 07SGT CSM1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I would suggest is to be careful not to go overboard. It's real easy to "wallpaper" your car with snakes and Shelbys. I've got The E-brake handle cover, the map light accent, the SGT headrests, and an SGT lighter plug. I really like all of them, but I don't really want much more inside. Hope that helps.

JeffIsHereToo Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Less in more!!! A few touches here and there are good but it's easy to cross the line into garish and silly. This is what I've done: - Berg Floor Mats - Power port plug - Dead pedle - head rests That's it! My only item let to get is Carroll's signature and I'm done!

jmn444 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yeah, I like the upholstery upgrade too... but too much cash to justify, and I really only like the colored inserts and the better stitching and side bolsters, I could pass on the extra logos I think...

Lgs ShelbyGT Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Also I was looking at the Shelby Emerg. Hand Brake handle, & it looked a little bulky. -Colin The Shelby e-brake handle isn't bulky at all and is a nice addition to the interior of your SGT.

SGT/SC#0471 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Congrats! Mine is bone stock inside...I can recommend an extra set of floormats....you'll need them at somepoint. I have been adding stickers and plaques from events/tracks where the car has participated/driven on in the inside trunk lid. There are a few very small paint marks on the inside...stuff gets everywhere... I keep meaning to send in my visor for Mr Shelby to sign...on the mirror cover.

FordRocks1 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Welcome to TS my fellow South Floridian :happy feet: I see you are in the Keys, I sure hope this oil spill doesn't ruin our beautiful beaches especially with the great weather coming up. Well, for interior upgrades I only went with dash and sun visor sigs.-it's like the focal point type of thing. Hope to see ya at some car shows.

ZepDad Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Good topic. I've kept mine to a minimum, mostly to add functionality such as Shelby subs, Pioneer nav unit, electrochromic mirror and ambient lighting. I've added only a couple of decorative items like the map light accent and door lock grommets. I am interested in the SGT black power plug and the SGT steering wheel badge but I can't locate online. Any help? PS - I have a base non-IUP dash so long-term am trying to decide what to do. I like the look of the GT500 dash with billet vent rings. Why did Ford use chrome on the dash when the door handles, sill plates, etc. are a billet aluminum look? Anyway, it's about a $500-$600 upgrade for new parts, less maybe on ebay.

IASHELBYGT Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Thats why I like the upholstery upgrade, not many people around here have it. I sprung for the interior upgrade last year when the Shelby store ran a discount. I love the look and get many compliments on it at shows. No regrets here. I've also added some billet trim in places but have tried to keep it tasteful. It's easy to go overboard. Dead Pedal Map light trim - this piece is junk but mine has stayed on well. Sill strips Visor signed by the man himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgguy09 Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Damn, that interior is nice.... I think its just a little too pricey for me right now. Unfortunately my fortunes are split. I own a 71' Honda motorcycle, and I have a 2001 Audi TT at my parents house. Too many toys and not enought time or money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Rodgers Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Just my 2 cents, but the Shelby interior upgrades quality do not compare to Silver Horse, not even close. I am talking the billet pieces, I have several of the Silver Horse pieces and they are the best I have seen. Scott Drake pieces are cheap especially for the price they want. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
