SGT0128 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Has anyone purchased these? I'm really close to pulling the trigger on them. Hope they don't go on sale next week. Just looking for some feedback on them. http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/s5mr-6582-b.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 They are so nice but expensive. I ordered the black ones.... Both styles are even better in person, pix don't do them justice. I'm getting the "race" models for my car, I've wanted them for YEARS. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I changed the bolt on the PS tank to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Let me know what you want for your black Shelby cam covers. See? TS members RECYCLE! Who said owning a high-horsepower car isn't "green"? Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I already bought the SHELBY ones in black. I'm selling them to buy the race versions. I should have bought them first??? Yes, I changed the bolt on the PS tank to match. I did the same, on BOTH counts! I bought the "Ford Racing" engraved covers in blue, because Shelby covers were never in stock. Now I'll have to sell them. And, I also changed my PS tank screw to match. Ha! Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 By the way, folks, the new race covers differ SLIGHTLY from the first version, as they now say "Shelby" in big letters, and "American, Inc." in smaller letters. Our usual logo. See logo below: Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT0128 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Let me know what you want for your black Shelby cam covers. I've got them on the local CL for $325.00. I'm willing to take a near $100.00 loss from the original SPP selling price including shipping but no more. http://austin.craigslist.org/pts/3453503973.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoChris Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Question: Can the factory valve covers be polished in anyway? If so, what is the best polish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyGJ Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 They are so nice but expensive. I ordered the black ones.... I purchased and installed these as well....I would have liked the "Race" version, but too much for my wallet. I know they will show a lot better than my black ones as they are hard to see in the engine compartment unless in the sunshine. I still love them compared to the stock plain/bare metal ones that came on the car. Either way, you will not be disappointed....besides, I hear it is worth an extra 50 HP and 48 TQ (and that is at the wheels!!). Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmor Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Oh, I'll bet ya will! I've still got a Deep Draw hood to do, too... stuff's stacking up. LOL Jer Just send me that hood and ill put it on my car instead. Save you some time! Seriously though, after I install the new mufflers I'm gonna turn the car around in the garage again and do the valve covers. When I get done finally with all my goodies and finish cleaning and shining up for 2013 post some pics of my SGT with: Shelby GT brake duct system Shelby polished valve covers Shelby Turbo mufflers She should be a pretty fine sight to behold!
