Looking forward to picking one of these up with your logo.

 

No offense to anyone especially you Marcello but I have often picked one product over another just because it doesn't have the logo. I don't want my interior looking like a Steeda or Roush Mustang so I have purposely not used their products. I know yours would be subtle. But I like my cars sans emblems and logos. The only logo on the exterior is the tri-bar fender emblem I put on your rear gas cap and the GT/CS strip that it came with on the side. Oh and the tribars on the wheels. That's it. I don't even have a grille pony anymore with the Bullitt grille. I know you said you would make both, but I just wanted you to know my feelings. I love your products for quality and for the fact you don't plaster SHR in giant letters across everything like everyone else does.

 

As best I can figure it, 11 have voted for “plain jane” and 9 have voted for stripe(s). Unless you count Marcello in which has 10 have voted for stripe(s). But a lot of those votes came in after the switch to one stripe. It's pretty split.

Personally I couldn’t decide when it was 3 stripes vs no stripes. The 3 stripes look nice but almost too busy. Now that it’s down to one stripe, I think it looks significantly better than the “plain jane” one.

 

I agree. At the same time, I fully support SHR's products, and would like to have one item with their logo. The engine back is the perfect place, since it's not in my face.

 

I also agree with you. I shoul have clarified that I didn't want it on the switch plate, but would not have a problem with it on the fuse panel cover under the hood. As a matter of fact I've been waiting for SHR to start making some under hood items.

 

Anyone have a take apart for the switch plate? Or an install guide. I know how these cars are built and its hard to disassemble interior pieces without breaking them.

 

Go to the Warranty and Service Issues section there's a thread called Work Instructions. It gives a nice exploded view and general pointers but probably not the detailed "watch out" type pointers you're lookking for.

edit: Just found this oldie which should help getting them apart: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showpo...98&postcount=7

 

It's a piece of cake, everything snaps and unsnaps. For one step you will need to wear safety glasses in case a clip goes flying, but other than that, no problem. I'd expect the install to take 10-15 minutes max.

 

Well done! I think this sentense alone really shows how Marcello has really stepped up to the next level of business owner. Anyone at a lower level wouldn't even think to say that.

This reminds me of the picture that came with my leaf blower.. the dude is wearing full coeveralls, boots, gloves, hat, glases, and a breathing PPE.

 

I'm a no striper, but one stripe is better. No stripes are the best, however.

 

Would you be able to make a custom set for these if they were sent to you?

 

Yes and no.

Yes, we can make anything here, and we could make a set that would interface with those pieces in some way.

No, because the design of the pieces we have took two weeks of prototyping and fixture design. To do those would require probably a week's worth of work for a single set, and someone has to pay for that. If that someone were to be you, you would be unhappy with the price I quote you.

Anyway, wait until you see them with the stock switches installed. They came out really nice, visible at SEMA next week

 

Just subscribing to catch the next update

 

subscribing, this thing looks sweeeet!

 

So did anyone get pics of the inside of Marcello's 05 car at SEMA? I've only seen exterior pics here. I haven't seen the 05 car lately and man it looks cool.

 

Those are the only ones I saw. I like that one, because you can see my picture of climate control ***** on the display in black.

 

Darkfire - I actualy told that story to someone who was asking about that stuff

Artwork desing wasn't too bad either, if I do say so myself!!

Oh, and you'd never believe what happened on I think it was Wednesday morning.... I'm in the booth around 9:30 with a new dealer we were signing up, when one of my favorite competitors wandered into our booth and was spying the new releases we were showing off. I only interrupted my conversation with my new dealer long enough to say hello to said competitor by first name (recognized him without even seeing his tag), and that I'd be happy to be with him in just a few moments. He grabbed a current catalog and took off like someone lit his butt on fire...

Needless to say the flattery is awesome, but the fact that they will soon have more "designer" versions of our parts is a bit disappointing. Such is this business...

I just got back, and we've got a lot to do for Ford this week, but as soon as I get a chance, I'll get pictures coming from our end. The switch plates realy came out nice, I think everyone who saw them liked them. I would imagine the major media sources will have them covered pretty quickly, as I think everyone photographed them in one form or another.

 

i only saw about 2 pics installed but the camera flash made it hard to see detail. Can't wait to see yours

 

Great news Marcello - looking forward to seeing those plates!

 

You don't even have to tell me the competitor. I'm sure I already know who it is. I hate that garbage. We've talked about it before. Flattery is one thing. Ripping off your whole product line by making inferior knock-offs is completely different.

Did you tell the story about the guy calling up asking how to get his lights to look like that? That's a funny one. Still working on getting a model for what we discussed. The one I had backed out, but I have a source for models now. I just have to put out a casting call. I'll send you an email later in the week to discuss it more.
