Hey Randy, how's it going? I still have your email addy here, and if we could offer the letters with color inlays, we would (too many combos to inventory if we did though - already over 15)
I'll get the black pictures up ASAP, they will be very similar to the fuel door in finish, and you will be able to do the same thing as you did with the fuel door.
I'm working on the 07-up A/C ***** right now too - just responded in another thread about that...

The fact that a large number of owners do like each product we design allows us to make the next part, and the next one, etc... (the quarter windows wouldn't have happened if the honeycomb panel wasn't the success it has become)
Screws are silver in appearance because we use stainless steel there. They are a standard thread, so they are not hard to replace, but standard black oxide screws would rust, hence why we stick with the stainless. Of course, they are easily removable, so they could be painted if you like and then re-installed on the part.

Keep up the good work. I may be interested in the rear badge and am highly interested in the quarter window replacements.
Also, couldn't agree more with your first paragraph. It's not so much whether I like a car as much as did they do it right.

It's not quite my thing, but I expect the new GT one would be my thing. I'll have to see it. The quality looks great with all of your stuff, which I really respect. It impresses me and makes me look forward to everything you will do in the future, regardless of my particular taste.
With the new GT emblem, would it also have some accessibility to the keyhole, or would it just cover it up, and you get to use the rear seat folddown + emergency hatch cord if your clicker breaks?

Actually, the initial idea was to block it completely, but I shot that down exactly because of convertible owners getting locked out if the trunk solenoid fails. So to answer the question, they will all be hinged for keyhole functionality.
Chuck, no harm no foul. If you actually can dig up the first, first thread on the honeycomb panel I took a bit of a whacking there too - and that was before I had sold the first one, but had already mortgaged the house to make the mold. So it was pretty scary there for a while until they started selling and I realized that there will be about equal #'s of people that like, and dislike each piece we do - hopefully, like has been mentioned here, people will at least respect the workmanship and quality that goes into our parts, whether they want them for their particular car or not. (which seems to be the consensus here.)
Now I don't want to go mucking up this thread with interior stuff (we just started this one ) but yes, we are working on Shaker 500 speaker covers (in my opinion the ones on the market could be better), cup bezels that actually work (more details soon), and we already have started on the 07-up A/C **** issue, since they did away with the D-shafts on the new cars. Also there will be door handles, cups, and window switch plates, all done the way I feel they need to be done. There will be more, but those are immediate projects..

Only have one submitted picture - want to make it two?

I think I have found another exterior part to add to my future wants/needs. What I like about it is the hinged cover removing the keyhole from sight, this will also allow me to switch from street to track use (for complying to NHRA rules concerning the relocation of the battery to the trunk) without worrying about people fooling around with a disconnect switch mounted out back and in clear sight.
Im your customer on this and on the quarter window when those get done.
By the by, I highly respect the way you conduct your business and customer relations.

Perry,
We'd like to see one on black as well. I know we've sold them to black car owners, but nobody has sent us a black on black picture yet.
Infinity,
There are no plans at the moment for rear grills - although it might come down the road. For the moment though, we're just working on the fronts.
Dan,
Thanks. We try to treat people the way we'd like to be treated. It's a really simple set of rules that we work by - no rocket science or polling data needed to know you should treat people with respect.

Installation question...
What is the orientation of the medallion alignment pins holes in the trunklid.
Horizontal or vertical alignment? And what is the spacing? like 1 inch?
I was thinking of replacing the medallion with a smaller emblem.

Steve,
I'd say no way. The holes are horizontal, about 2" apart, and like 3/8" diameter. I can't think of any OEM emblem that would cover the holes properly, and also, you have to consider that the arc of the trunk is going to mess you up as well.
Just things to think about...
In other news - we might need a write-in campaign to Ford - we're getting ready to submit our request to become "officially licensed" which would mean we'd be able to offer more of our products with official logos and emblems engraved into them.

I have a few closer shots in a new thread.
