Really? There is a small "bar" on ours that acts as an illuminated pointer at the end - you're saying yours do not have this? Pictures?

 

hot out of the driveway.!
hope these help. oh and thanks for the quick response, and if you need to see in person, my car and i will be at BCFR station 89 in palm bay next saturday

 

Cool - thanks!!

That is illuminated, the little vertical strip is backlit at night, and our fiber-optic will accomplish the same thing (it's kind of hard to laser-etch aluminum to become transparent like plastic)

So, no changes, and it looks as though we're good to go.

 

Wow....great new on the progress Marcello. Along with everyone else here I've been anxiously awaiting these - just another dent in the plastic!

 

No problem! As we tool up the new machines and get the kinks worked out, we're hoping to really put a dent in the "plastic" syndrome on the cars, and do it what we feel justice rather than what is being done now - I've got some "covers" here that someone sent us, and they are just too bulky for my taste - sometimes less is more

BTW - I've been asked privately, and the simple answer is that the ***** have green lighting because that is what matches the dash in that area - but it's not out of the realm of possibility to do custom orders where we offer a few different color choices in the fiber optic. There is green, yellow, pink / red, and orange, in case anyone is interested in us looking at what that would cost.

 

Hmmm... I wasn't sold because of the whole disassembly thing, but if I can get Red fiber optics, then I may have to reconsider.

Besides if Marcello says its not that bad, I believe him. His directions are ALWAYS dead on.

 

Thanks - FWIW I have to give credit where it is due - Roush once sent us an intake system for my 73 Mach 1, and the directions were in a binder, something like 33 pages, photos, etc.. all before the big digital revolution. So I decided that if we ever started doing products of our own, that our directions need to be at that level to make sure it goes on without a hitch.

I've got a couple here with red F.O. in them already, just playing around - plus the radius inserts came in, so now the stalk is blended better to the body. All in all, looking good, just need machine time to run them now, and quotes for finishing should be here in a couple days.

 

I myself am eagerly awaiting these badboys too. Its about time us 07 guys/gals get to have some fun. **** Ford and their bright ideas.

 

Hey Marcello, I just thought of this.

Would there be any way to put some black in the center of the A/C *****? Black painted centers? Just curious. Either way I think I'll be getting some of these A/C controls!

 

Only way would be for them to be custom painted - we can't "double anodize" in two different colors (at least affordably), and so while it could be done, it would be a custom thing, not an off-the-shelf item.

HTH.

BTW, we start the production run either tomorrow or Wednesday. Looks like a few hundred sets to start, and then off for finishing after that. We're thinking about a polished and anodized finish (a dull shine), and triple-chrome as the two main options - we can match our current bead-blast finish, but I'm not sure if they look as good in that finish as the polished we just got back today... as a matter of fact I'm considering switching the bead blast for the polished/anodized combo - it is almost a dead ringer for the steering wheel trim accents, and looks nice without being "overbearing".

 

OK. I understand. I'll be looking forward to see what you decide on.

 

Marcello has done it again!

 

Haha hellyeah he has. I cannot wait for these to come out so I can get them to match my newly ordered shifter bezel.

Can't wait!

 

For anyone going to Myrtle Beach for Mustang week, you might want to peak inside our #05 car - there will be a set of polished A/C ***** set up and ready to go Production is running, we're hoping that a few weeks and we'll get them done, finished, and ready to start going out.

Price is TBD yet, still waiting on some finishing quotes - everyone is too busy to want any more work right now...

(I had to add A/C to the above sentence to keep it wholesome entertainment for the whole family!!)

 

Any chance of some pics installed in the car? Or was that the one you already posted?

 

If there is time before we leave for the event, yes. If not, then when we come back I think we'll be able to accomodate that request.

Trust me, I WANT these in my car!!

 

OK, thanks!

Looking forward to seeing it!

 

Any updates. Are you going to offer a group buy for these.

 

No updates yet - machines are running other parts that we ran out of, so we have to wait to finish the run of these before they can go off for finishing.

Group buy - sometimes we do a "pre-order" deal on TMS here, but on this item we're not looking at doing it, since the wait isn't long now. On our molded products where the lead time is 8 months or more we offer a discount normally, but this one is just one of those projects that needs time on the machines to be completed, not months of development work to get to the manufacturing stage.

HTH.
