David - well my Ford dealer made good on their two-year-old promise, and they've installed the lighted visors with HomeLink...for FREE! So great, thanks for your inspiration. Surprised wifey tonight for Valentines, she loves them. It was her biggest pet peeve with the car. Now, I feel pretty stupid, but for the life of me I cannot program the HomeLink. I've done this dozens of times before - in fact family and friends have me do their vehicles, so I'm pretty confident I know what I'm doing. But, apparently, I do not. I downloaded the 2012 owners guide Universal Garage Door Opener (Car2U) section. I've performed all of the steps...nada...nothing...zilch. Tried my rolling code home, and my community gate, failed on both, many attempts. Any advice?

So, after following the instructions from LearCar2U (to the letter), and repeating many times for both my home garage and my community gate, I had nothing, nada, zilch. So I called LearCar2U directly (866-572-2728, www.learcar2u.com). They were very friendly and patient. They explained that dozens of doors and gates need 'special' programming in order for it to work. Turns out that both my home garage and my community gate fall into this category. With lots of extra programming, both have finally been programmed. I hope this helps others, too.
Ps: Sorry to hi-jack thread, your silver beauty is amazing, of course!

I just need to install the rest of the stripes and the rear emblems with red accents and the visual mods are done. Already working to get the power boost mods headed my way.

Next step is painting the deckled emblem cobra red to match the grille and side cobra emblems. I have the paint and brush, now just need the nerve to attempt this. Lots of detail!!! I also have the SHELBY lettering with red instead of black to put on.
