Thanks guys, we do appreciate the compliments!
FYI, when Saleen wanted a fuel door for their premier PJ Mustang, one name ended up at the top of their list
- and it wasn't "the other guys"...
Perhaps you've seen this around? I know I saw hundreds of them !!

FWIW the SS hardware around the ring looks too over-done. I just saw some Chebby pickup the other day with a similar fuel door.
The OEM Ford billet door looks more European/Audi than the SHR, no offense to SHR and others who liked SHR's design.

No offense taken It is part of what makes being able to customize a Mustang such a unique and personal thing. I've said it a hundred times... not everything I design is for everyone. But someday, I'll make something you will like
In the meantime, I'll keep working on new parts, and we'll keep putting them out there to be compared to others. FWIW, if after only being in business for two years we're being compared to the biggest names out there, I think we've accomplished something. And on the "fit and finish" side of things, I don't think we have too much competition out there.

Yes and thats something to be extremely proud of. And becuase of your service and quality products word of mouth advertising on these forums brings your company into the spotlight.

Phil,
The screws are silver because they are stainless steel - black oxide would rust rather quickly in the elements. What I have heard / recommended people do who want that look is to remove the screws and paint them black, then just re-install them. They unscrew without issue, and you can actually have them off with the door installed on the car, since they are not holding anything.
As to the switch plates, and other pieces, coming... Our popularity is our own worst enemy, and we've just invested big-time in new equipment, but it's not "up to speed" quite yet - there is a lot more to a machine than just the basic purchase (kind of like our cars!)

LOL, the installation goes like this...
Pop the radiator shroud off the top, and snap off the ears of the factory horse, pop it out, make it into a desk paperweight. Screwdriver, pliers, whatever you can get to them with without removing the grill will work.
Push new horse into place, push on one-time clips with bent-nose needlenose pliers, pat self on back, and crack open a cold one.

I'd be sharper, but the drugs I'm on for my back injury at the moment are dulling most everything around me Worst part was I wasn't doing anything wrong, just moved the wrong way Friday morning at the shop. Chiropractor has already "reminded" me of my stupidity - it never feels good when a doctor tells you to take a deep breath and hold on...
Getting old stinks, but I guess it beats the alternative...
Anyway, the install does go just like that - except I forgot to add put the radiator cover back on... then bust out the drinks. My personal favorite is Crown & Coke or maybe a Pina Colada, in case anyone feels generous today!

LOL, I have so many comebacks to that one....
But in the interest of wholesome family entertainment, let's just say that the knowledge that you installed a great looking product on your car that you were happy with should be kudos enough for you... and the fridge couldn't be that far away, could it?
