Ordered mine today with a satin cup holder (blem hey wifey is cheap and she approved this ) And Marcello your service is first rate. For anyone on the fence SHR is top notch I had emails about my order and re-responses in no time. Now I just have to figure out how to talk the wife into letting me get window louvers.

Let's just say, it was harded loading the pictures!! LOL.

They just snap into place. They only go in one way, and are driver/passenger side sensative, and clearly marked.

peice of cake.

Now it's off to Homasassa to rub it it with Dave & Perry

I'll let the experts answer that

But I'd wager it took him longer to take the picture than it did to do the install !!

Wow, talk about hitting submit at the same time!

BTW - They look NICE !! I'm glad you like them, good to hear. Fitment, everything okay I take it - any problems with the directions or anything we need to know about?

In all fairness, Leo won that unofficial competition for being first to order, but I'm sure we'll have more deals coming soon with them. I'm waiting on our second sample from them now, might see it by Monday to see if it meets expectations. #1 looked good, I want #2 to look great!

And even Leo didn't get one yet, I owe...

Got mine installed too, in the dark without even looking at where they go. The pieces sure look like full production to me! As usual, perfect craftsmanship from SHR Snap snap and they're in.

Snow Load??

Marcello, how well do these hold up in the snow?? Last week I was driving the car in about 6-7 inches of snow, and the front end was acting like a snow plow..... Is the ' push' pressure enough to hold em in place?? Just wondering, and BTW, I have all of your product's but the Bullit fuel door, sorry not my style.

If they're anything like the prototypes that I messed with (which I'm sure they are), you have to push in on one corner, while the opposite corner comes out. If something is putting weight on both corners, which would probably happen in this case, it's not going anywhere. But as he stated above, if you're worried about it, a small bit of cement won't hurt.

So to install you just push them into place from the front and that's it?


I may have to take these to my local shop to install.

Marcello;
Just ordered a Set.
Has anyone snapped these in at -30 deg C.

Kidding, The Mustang is in Hibernation til April.

So the Order doesn"t have to break any Speed Records.

The mounting basically uses the trick of being captured by the draft angle Ford needs in the lower grill so they can get it out of the mold. So you've got like a 5 degree wedge holding it from going further back, but the clips hold it from coming forward. (elegantly simple if I do say so myself). So as to snow, you'd probably be alright, but as has been mentioned, I'd probably go for a permanant install in a case like that. MEK, Zap CA+ (gap fill), regular plastic cement, etc... all should solve any possible issue for you if you're using the car as a snowplow

BTW, what does snow look like, it's something 78 here today...
