since they started cracking down on who can get in, I didnt see any kids around this year, but several people were getting autographs from models for their children, one guy had models signing posters for his 8 year old twin sons, one girl after asking what she can write to an 8yr old then wrote call me in 10 yrs....lol

actually other than the SC and the stereo equipment nothing on the car is something someone else makes, it looks like other things but everything is theirs. The front fascia actually uses the stock headlights, the hood is carbon fiber even though it is a knock off of the RKSport hood, and the entire kit is theirs, but again yes it does look much like everyone elses stuff. wouldve been unique if it didnt take them so long to come out with it.

I saw it unfortunately I didnt take any pics of it for you, to be honest it wasnt anything that wasnt on so many of the other cars except for the paint job, which IMO wasnt too great of a color choice. The hood was shut so I dont know if it had any engine mods. Sorry

1970 Mach 1 styled mirrors:

As great these mirrors look, I'm really struggling with a $500+ price tag for these things. What's the rationale behind that insultingly ridiculous price? Don't they understand they'd sell more at half that price and still recoup their R&D?

My point is that w/all the 'bashing' that has gone on w/this company, the car does not represent what they advertise on their website.

The hood is a RK Sport knock off as you mentioned. The headlights are a JDM product. The fenders were done by another member here I believe, some time ago. I'm not saying that those are his fenders, only that someone else has done the same previously in his garage.

With all the drama that has gone on with this company I am disappointed that the product isn't closer to the concept.

I hear you and am not arguing, the fenders how ever look better than most Ive seen done that way and Ive seen several in person, this one was molded to be that way which looks better than cutting into the stock fender IMO

where did you get tht price? their site has them listed for 395 which is still a bit pricey but not too much I think for something that is different and still operates like the stock mirrors do, but thats my opinion.

They lowered the price since about a week ago or so. This page http://www.agentfortyseven.com/restyling/mirrors.html originally had them for $500+. While $395 is better, I agree that it's still too much.

Im still not so sure its all that outragously priced, it might be a bit high but not too much, how much would you like to pay for a set of mechanical mirrors? $100? thats not gonna happen. Im sure Ford charges at least $400 for a set of stock mirrors.

I've only got a couple pics of the orange and white mustang, just of the engine more than anything.

Sorry, it didn't seem special enough to me to get the whole car (or I was just really tired from walking all day and was to lazy to take more pics).

Any idea which Mustang this was Brad described in his SEMA preview?
Ford Mustang GT – Drawing on the true spirit of the Mustang, this is one wild pony car. The top was chopped one and three-quarter inches and then it was painted a magic black custom mix of orange pearls. The car adds a ducktail wing, Vortech supercharger and a Clarion audio/video/security/navigation system for one uncontrollable ride.
http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=55652

I'm curious about the chopped top.

Brand new 2005+ mirrors on eBay for less than $75 each, shipped. A fair price IMO (as uneducated about business/profit/tooling/recoup of R&D as I am ) would be $300 for the pair.
