And...why I hate Brandon Ford...

I know it's hard to read, but its an adjusted market value of $20k. The pic was taken today with my terrible camera phone.

Oddly I don't think they were marked up at all.

They didn't have a mark up sticker on them. That certainly doesn't mean they weren't though. I think the last time I was there, the GT500s didn't have a mark up sticker either. I'm confident they are still trying to rip people off.

Actually, not all me accessories are chrome. My current cupholder bezel is brushed as are the door pins and coat hangers.

Keep the votes coming, I know there's other straglers that frequent POTR that haven't voted yet. (Phil.. )
Brushed! Hey Bill what do those switches control? Nitrus

Sorry guys been out of town with no Internet Back from vacation and ****ed off.
Got rained out of everything we tried to do. I get back to OKC and we are now setting on 17 consecutive days with rain. WTF ???
I go to a friends and watch a movie. Get in the car to go home and have a **** hamburger smeared down the driver side of my car. God would I love to catch those little bastards, CB would have nothing on what I would do to them.

Nice deal on the raptor, and brushed aluminum for the cup holder.

Cam Covers look good

Ceramic coated headers for sure

I don't even want to imagine Bill in a Pirate Costume, that just sounds like someones really Bad Dream.

The "Ranks of Susan & Daryl" ?? WTF does that mean Taco?

Wow! With Daryl's vote, that's +6 for brushed. The masses have spoken, looks to be like a landslide poll.

NO2? Right... would look cool for the switches, but not cool for the engine.

Was it a from Big Ed's or Sonics?
j/k.. that was messed up! Especially if the burger had everything in it.

Hey, we didn't know you went on vacation, you never filed a request in with us.

Poll closed, thanks to those who casted their opinions.

Switch plate has been submitted to Speed of Sound.

Final configuration..

Brushed Aluminum finish
4 switches w/guage

I've decided to install an AutoMeter Ultra-Lite II voltmeter in the plate.

All switches will be laser engraved; DVD, REAR CAM, RAPTOR, VOLTMETER (OR VOLTS, I left this up to them on whichever looks better).

First 2 switches are obvious. The Raptor switch will essentially give it a 'blackout' feature (just like installing a black cap), and the switch for the voltmeter is just trivial because I want the 4 switch pattern versus the 3.

This is the final configuration, so please, no more NO2 suggestions.

Perfectly safe for the engine... if you know what you're doing. People tend to get greedy with the ease of changing jets. Plus, you have to have a retard module to retard the timing as you add more nitrous.

I had it in my last fuel injected engine in the '89. Have to make sure it's a "wet" system so it adds additional fuel with the nitrous to prevent detonation (that's what's not cool for the engine).

Mine was a 75 HP shot that would only turn on IF you engaged the switch, IF there was oil pressure to the engine, IF there was fuel pressure, and IF and only IF you were at WOT. Then, it even pulsed the solenoids to add greater and greater amounts of nitrous as RPMs increased (so the jet didn't spray it all in at once). Can't get much more safer than that.

It's totally different than what you see in the movies.

Plus, it's neat to purge off the nitrous at car shows.

If I get a new hood for the '89 to allow more clearance, I would get a plate nitrous system again that goes between the carb and intake just so I could set up a timer to purge the nitrous every 15 minutes at car shows. That would be cool!

Good news about the plate, of course there have to be pictures.

Daryl

Sorry 'bout the getting burgered. I'd thump some heads for sure.

Just got back from the paint estimate... First the POS Ford dealer was... well a POS. I knew I should not have gone to him but I did anyway. Can't wait to take the car back to him and show him in fact the pieces can be painted. Anyway, the real estimate is 400 bucks w/a lifetime warranty on the paint itself which is being painted to match. Have to live a coupla days w/o my fuel door but it's a small price to pay.

So when will you be installing your 'wet' kit in the 06? (I thought so.. )

Been there, done that.. I too had a NOS kit in my 85, but it was a 100 shot. Also had a fuel distribution block, but was hooked up to a manual switch (to the horn button, toggled).

It was safe, engine never blew up or anything. But, after 50k miles of off and on juice, my rings and valve guides were shot and were on the way out.

Perfect time to swap in a SHR billet fuel door!
