The painted stripes and Clear Coat is amazing & the match is superb. The box arrived undamaged The note put some suspense in the unwrapping ! Plenty of protection inside of the box Lots of protection during shipping Personal note on the bottom. This is done on all covers from what I heard I unwrapped it and looked it over very closely. It was flawless and the stripes were so smooth you could not feel them. The paint was so smooth and the clear so thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryAnn Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 That looks wonderful Tana! I have a Bangastang radiator cover myself on my 2011 GT500...and the quality and workmanship is 2nd to none! I love my Bangastang!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown Away Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Looks great Rob & Tana!!! I'm waiting for my cover from Hendrix. I went with the white & silver stripes with a customization to the stripes. Hendrix, Pat & I spent about an hour measuring all the cuts and changes that need to be made for the Whipple, tanks, hood pins and Shelby VIN plate. Can't wait to see the finished design.

stentgraft95 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 That looks outstanding Rob, that would look good on my car but I don't think it pays as big of dividends on a black car as it does on other colors. I'm a little intimidated by the various colors of red found on the stripes too! Oh the contemplation of some of these mods. Did you put the wings all the way around on Tana's car or just on the Cobra on the grill? I check this forum regularly but I probably missed that thread. I must admit you're a great salesman for some of these vendors, thanks to you I had to change my shifter knob in mid-December to a black with red stripes and it looks great.

jerseygator Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Very nice... Congrats to Tana. One small thing though... Is it me or are the stripes wider than the cars? And where did you get that battery tender? Took me a while to figure out what it was. Later, JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stentgraft95 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I had the same question about the battery tendor. I wasn't sure what it was at first but as I'm using my iPad I was able to zoom in on it to read what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where did you get that battery tender? Took me a while to figure out what it was. Later, JG The stripes on the cover are the same width as our cars. Some photos give the optical illusion to appear wider. I have 4 of these and use them on my Bike, cars and riding lawn mower. I got them from Griots Garage a few years ago. They sitll sell them and the design has changed a bit. They have a great product.

If you are worried about the color match you could have Hendrix send you the color chart or go to your local paint store and ask them for a sample of the Dupont Red Baron color. I put a full set of the wings on Tana's car for her birthday. My car got a set too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firepro Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hey Stentgraft95, even though you have a black car this radiator cover makes the engine bay look sweet. Night and day from stock. Here is mine black with silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stentgraft95 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 You're right Firepro, that does look sweet. Actually, after running this by the Purchasing Department (Wife), she really liked how Tana's turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanabanana Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I really appreciate all the nice comments about these mods, sorry I'm not able to respond more quickly. Thankfully Grabber always lets me know whats going on so at least I'm in the loop. When I first saw the radiator cover with stripes on another car, I really wanted one for mine. This radiator cover more than lives up to ones expectations and excitement as you wait for the mods to show up at your door. It was really, really, nice surprise to also recieve the battery cover compliments of Hendrix. I knew I wanted to cover it but I could never decide on what. Thanks to Grabber all mods are on and this weekend he has made a plan to clean my rusty behind. I can't believe it has taken him so long to get to it.

Grabber Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'm very surprised some of you eagle eyes did not notice that Tana's radiator cover was over cut 2 inches at the ford Racing CAI. It turns out that in 2007 Ford racing made the Cold air intake air deflector 2 inches longer and then in 2008 changed the design to be shorter. All the KR's came with the shorter air deflector and if you go to order one today, you will get the shorter one as well. I have pointed this out to Hendrix at Bangastang to try to prevent this from happening in the future. When I ordered Tana's rad cover I told Bangastang I had a Ford Racing CAI. Hendrix has a cut out for the KR's that would of fit perfectly, but he thought that those were unique to the KR's and di not realize that all the units sold over the counter the last few years are the 2nd generation model. Bangastang made it right and built Tana another cover that fits great. Thank you very much Hendrix ! Tana is very happy with the fit of this cover and so am I.
