I want a medallion like Brad's, but I really don't know that I have the patience to install it since I already have the honeycomb insert installed.
Waaa, waa, waa...

Maybe I should call Mustang Enthusiast and have them cancel the full page ad we took out in the new issue that has your car in it...

Still going to hold off on that next order ?

Seriously, the install with the honeycomb is pretty straightforward - I didn't remove the one on our car to do the multiple swaps as we got the part ready for production initially, so it's not that bad.

Are you serious about the magazine?

Any tips on how to remove it with the honeycomb still on?

I don't joke about the ads - especially given the cost..

Use the "cotter key puller" technique to remove it with the honeycomb panel still on, that's what I did, multiple times. The directions on the website have the pictures of it included.

As promised - we shot a few pictures today on a customer's Redfire Mustang - the pictures don't do this justice, but I can see it is going to be an issue getting the proper lighting and angle to give the impression these do in person.

The piece on the left is the newer prototype, the one on the right is the first one. Both are similar, and until you look down on the car (normal standing position) the difference isn't too obvious. But since most people won't be down where I took this picture from, that was where the importance of the changes would be noticed

Anyway, the work is on schedule, and we'll be ordering the resin for the production run probably next week (6 week delivery) so everything is going as planned.

Marcello, you going to have a booth at SEMA or just going to be an attendee? If you need a car to show off your products (and don't want to bring your own) I'll volunteer mine. Already have the louvers in, and I'm happy to put on whatever else you feel like showing off.

If you're going to have a booth, I'll make sure to stop by and say Hi.

The upper and lower "frame" is shaped to follow the arc in the existing grill, rather than being a straight line in the original piece. That's why I said that to see the real difference, you have to be looking down from the top, then it is obvious when they are next to one another. This gives it a more "finished" look, rather than something that was just stuck-on after the fact.

The pieces snap in from the front, no need to go under the car for normal installations. For racing / heavy duty use, I'd consider gluing the piece in as an added precaution / level of protection. So installation is normally about 30 seconds, saying you can open the box fast enough

Thanks Jay, but this year I will just be "attending" the event to see everything that goes into the setup / move-in / move-out dealings, plus we're driving out with Temple Performance and I want to see what a 2500 mile road trip with a descent size rig is like / where's gas, food, etc.. along the way.

Next year we plan on exhibiting there so long as everything goes well for us between now and then, but I want to have the experience under my belt before we do it and spend a fortune making mistakes...

We already do PRI, and other shows here in the S.E., but it's another game when you have to lug clear across the country and spend the kind of coin that Vegas demands during that event...

I'm up for dinner / go-karts / Texas no-limit, etc... though while I'm there if you want !!

These look awesome. Is there any chance that they would fit into the Agent 47 lower grill as well? I mean this piece. Looks great either way, keep up the good work.

If you got the Agent47 grill page on SilverHorseRacing's website, it says it will fit. Also see Marcellos post on this question.

Marcello, I was hoping you would just throw in a set with my medallion that got here today...

Guess I will just have to order them like everybody else.

BTW, it took about 3 minutes to remove the existing medallion and install the new billet medallion (even with the honeycomb panel in place)...freaking rocks man...way cool.

Now I have: Silverhorse Honeycomb rear panel, sequentials, rear medallion and lower grill inserts...well almost...

Getting excited about these Marcello. Just let us know when you will have them up on the website for ordering. I'll be getting these plus the cupholder ring, shift bezel, and e-brake handle.

That's okay, we're on the road back from SEMA, and figured out tonight that the website is currently down, and has been since sometime early yesterday... might not be able to resolve until at least Monday, which is way bad for business...

No wonder why nobody wanted anything...

Glad to hear the rear medallion was easy, we just did an awesome custom one for Temple Mustangs, it was on the Legend X SEMA car in their booth.

Tons of pictures when we're back and can post them up.
