Thumbs up

Thanks for all the inputs on the parts you guys need

Updated list... we'll have to get to work

- Stainless Steel engine bay dress up parts (fuse box cover, injector rail cover, spark plug cover)
- Stainless Steel Door Sills set for the 4 doors Sedan models
- Billet Front Strut Brace in brushed finish (less shine, lower cost, same high quality work)
- Billet Shift Knob (that fit perfectly on OEM shifter)
- Billet E-brake Handle
- Billet Gas Door (Something that will fit perfectly with no metal to trim/cut on the car)
- Billet Bowtie emblem (maybe custom emblems also?)
- Billet HVAC knobs (light comes thru small acrylic rod, see picture)

Pedals would be nice but we never get into that market due to several factors, depending on the demand for them, we can take a closer look at it

For those looking on parts made out of CF we are not speciazed in that kind of work, we can add CF to add a nice touch to our existing products but we are not aiming that market right now. Same thing for the headlights, tail lights and similars big plastic items.

Here is what the HVAC knobs looks like, same design as the custom billet engine bay covers These are on a J-body

custom engraving maybe? on say the bowties or on the shift knobs. there was a guy on a mustang forum i went to who made me a billet knob for my mustang and i had him do some engraving on it as well, a pony that was on fire. would custom designs like this be something you could do?

thats all i can really think of besides all the engine dress up stuff thats been named

just about forgot to mention, the bowtie should be flush with the grill instead of sticking up like the oem ones.

I would DEFINATELY be interested in some custom pedals! If you could make them customizable like with a choice of a bowtie or SS on them....that would rock! The GM one's just dont' cut the mustard for me. When it comes time for more appearance mods, I will be sending tons of cash your way! I love your strut bar and billet fluid caps!

Yes. At least for the top grille. A matching lower grille as well would be awsome though.

I would like two things.

First, some coupe door sills that don't say SS on them, because mine isn't an SS.

Second, a better looking ECM/TCM mount under the hood.

Maybe you could miracle an independent rear suspension up in there. I'm embarrassed to look at what's up there now.

I can forgo the CF stuff I mentioned earlier.

These are the do wants.

Either Satin Alu or Black/Gunmetal

Billet Gas door.

Front and Rear Emblems

E-Brake Handle (again Set screw held not cliped like the OEM)

Shifter Knob + ((would like to see a shifter kit) or replacement parts for the sloppy plastic pin and rocker in the shifter plate that gives it such a crummy shift feel. (1 Roll pin + 1 L arm))

We offer the COBALT door sills already that don't say SS, we have a group buy on them running right now if you want to get them at discounted price. You can choose between COBALT or COBALT SS model
