I pulled them off and it ruined the plastic.I even sanded them but the indentations were too deep to totally remove..I used 3m tape..You are right ..they were absolute garbage

 

FWIW, it's Saturday, and we're here working on the backlog so we can get to these

Patience, we're on it.

 

Awesome Marcello! I've been patiently waiting for your A/C *****, and it looks like these switch plates will be another must have item.

 

Well, I did pack up a prototype set of the ***** (since the production pieces aren't back yet from the finisher) for Stillen Motorsports to have on their SEMA car. We're desperately looking for the D-clip for the 05-06 cars, and are having trouble sourcing them, so any help there would be appreciated (Ford guys in the house?)

I also broke the mirror control on our shop car today - no idea how that happened

 

Mirror control switch is about $24 Marcello.

 

LOL, yeah, but that takes all the fun out of it if I just replace it with another platic piece - if you know what I mean...

We're finally getting a handle on this whole turn/mill machining concept, and so now ideas that have been shaking around in my head for a while can start to be shook out

 

Same here. Only mine are still on cause i'm not sure how to get them off and i don't want to ruin anything. any advice?

 

Are you breaking things just to make new ones?

 

I might be.. I might be!

It seems that more and more of the new stuff is of the "one shot" deal where once it is assembled it is not designed to be taken apart without breaking something along the way. That's okay though, I don't want to put back the stuff I take off anyway, because if I did, I wouldn't be trying to replace it in the first place!

 

Isn't past your bedtime Marcello? Now get some rest, we all want some new toys before Christmas please. .......................................

 

So... how's it going?

 

LOL, it's going - we're still looking to get them into production ASAP, but I don't think they will make it by Christmas because by the time they are done, then sent for finishing and come back etc... it's normally 6 weeks. Figuring we've got at least 2 weeks until time opens up to do it, you can see it's behind schedule as usual

On the plus side, the A/C ***** are done, the grill inserts are going to be ready on-time, and mirror controls just need finish engraving work to be able to go off for finishing - all in all, we're making some good progress, it just takes time to get it all into the system.

As usual though, patience is rewarded when we do get our parts to market, something we're hoping to increase over the coming year for everyone.

 

As always, an update from the man behind the scene! Thanks Marcello!

 

FYI, mirror control is 25.00 in satin or black anodize, 27.00 in polished / anodized, and 29.00 in triple-chrome plated

Might get the engraving underway this weekend, if not early next week. There's already a couple running around for testing w/o engraving, they look really nice - of course that's my normal biased opinion of course.

 

Any spy photos Mr.Marcello?

 

Let us get the engraving done on them first - if you like our other interior parts, I think you will be very pleased with this one - even without the engraving the one sample we did in chrome for plating quotes looks really good, the polished one is on my personal car, and matches up well with everything else.

Don't even get me started on the door locks we finished up last week - just waiting on the new "pockets" to be done so we can release them together

The goal is one new product a month for the next year if we can do it!!

 

Here goes the credit card! Good news is, I'll have plenty of new stuff to take pictures of.

 

No worries! Thanks for the update! Just wanted to make sure they were still on the schedule. Even more so now that I saw post #113 in this thread.. i guess self-painting isn't the long term solution.. and I've never had luck with do-it-yourself painting of anything.

I painted mine over a year ago and they still look the same as they did before. With that said I'll probably still buy these from SHR.

 

First time I come across this thread. I'm down for some nice triple chrome plates. I bought the car used so who ever had it before me used those nasty(JMO) sticker things all over the plates and center console. Most came off fine(I left it on the radio area looks good with the a/c vents) but the door plates were forever damaged.
