OK. Well let me first qualify this post. I am not associated with Bill, his new found business and have never met him and have not recieved any discount for my new "pony". I contacted Bill and started down this road when i saw his car in a post (something about front ends). I paid the full amount "up front" and "side un seen". Well it arrived today as promissed. And just as I anticipated it is everything that Bill said.
The quality is first rate. This is not some mass prodeced piece. The craftmanship is evident. The clear coat looks like glass!!! Absolutly no flaws in the paint. Bill you should type up a small instruction sheet on how to install, pins etc... I'm going to install this weekend and will post pics.
Great job Bill and Thank You...

Thanks Jeff.....I'm glad it got there.....I went to dinner tonight w/ the girlfriend and I kept wondering if it got there...USPS rocks....well, sometimes....in this case they did
Glad my first one got to someone who is as excited about his passion as I am. Enjoy it, AND dont forget to turn when you look for storefronts that give you that just right reflection as your heading straight towards it to see yourself coming and the pony start to glow....did I say I have passion about my cars or what????? :-)Again, I really want to thank everyone for the awesome response to these...its already more than I thought it would be.....I think there are a lot more passionate "me's " out there than I thought!!!!

Hey David......get the springs on yet? When you get it lowered I want to see some pics!!! These cars look so much better with a little air out from under them.
The pricing is not firm yet but they should come in around 105.00 give or take 5 bucks or so for adjustments on shipping ( trying to get packaging perfected now). I have a large pony emblem order coming over the next couple weeks......If your interested , email me at hireman356@aol.com that will get you on the list. When the ponies arrive I will email you a pay-pal invoice, once paid yours goes to get painted. I dont want any chance of peeling so heres the steps we are using. When we get the ponies ( factory parts)I bead-blast off the factory chrome off. Then sand really smooth, apply adhesion promoter, then self etching primer. Then we do the basecoat, apply the flames in candies and pearls , then two coats of clear. As you can see, its quite a process to get it right. I look at these as being different , like the ultimate pedals are far superior to UPR or Steeda. There will never be any two the same as they are all hand airbrushed. Also the above estimated price includes USPS priority shipping w/ delivery confirm number, their wrapped in bubble wrap then either going to be packed in a box with the styro-foam peanuts or put in a bubble envelope for shipping. As I have told everyone so far , the color choices are wide open but I believe certain things would work best for everyone no matter the colors of the flames they choose. One is a black base....I feel it helps smooth the transition out between the grill and the color on the ponies....but thats just my personal opinion. Also, I have recieved a request or two for something "evil"....look for a pic , hopefully this weekend of a flaming pony skeleton in red candies and pearls on a black base....that one should be killer.Its going to be done on a 04 emblem because thats all we have right now...LOL. That type of work will be a little more costly because of the time involved , but the 05 emblem lends itself to more detail simply because of its size.
thanks for the interest!!!

OK. As promised the 1st install (excluding the prototype on Bills car). Not to bad. This was the first time I have had the front off, so I took advantage and cleaned the radiator and some of the other front end. Getting the old Pony out of the grill was about what I expected, those little pin clips are a pain in the &*)%^&. Once I got the old one out I used a 1/4 inch socket to push the new pin clips (supplied by Bill) on to the Pony's pins.
My opinion. This was a good finishing touch for my 05GT. I have chrome wheels so removal of the chrome pony was a good thing. I felt the car had a little to much Bling. Anyway, I'v seen some of the other colors being discussed and can't wait to see how they turn out.
Thanks again Bill.

UPDATE ON DELIVERY !!!!
I just heard that the factory pony shipment should be here by next Thursday , Nov. 3rd.They will all get sand-blasted , adhesion promoter and primed at the same time. Looks like we will begin sending out the pay-pal invoices to those who are on the order list By Sunday Nov.6th. Then we start production on Monday Nov. 7th .If the pony shipment arrives on time ( and I SERIOUSLY hope it does) this will kick things off !
thanks again for the continued and incredible interest !!!!

WOW...you did a lot more than me.....LOL. All I did my first time was to remove the bolts on each side of the headlight (1 each side, 10 MM I believe) then took off the radiator cover, pulled out on the grill a bit and popped off the clips on the back then removed.
