Well I've got Jake at Project 321 fired up on some more projects.. Here are some preliminary drawings of the two sill plate options .They will be billet aluminum with Carbon Fiber inlays.

When I approached Jake on this sill plate project I had 4 goals I wanted to achieve. The more billet area set offers these (4) advantages:
1) Scuff resistant in the foot swing area.
2) Reusable ( the stock ones are not).
3) Better looking than the plain stock Sills.
4) They can be personalized.


One type will have more CF area. The set with more Billet will have a rough aluminum raised section near the front that will be scuff resistant. The back shorter section will be customizable and include the car year and last 4 of the VIN number..

On the set with the Blue color the light gray or white area is a raised rough aluminum area. This will not show the heal scuff marks. The Blue area is recessed and should not get scuffed. The black area is a recessed CF inlay and should not get scuffed

They will be available in the same Anodized colors as the Coolant Tank Cap Sets

I need some feed back on the " 4X Le mans Champion" text. Use it or lose it?
If you have a set of the Project 321 caps you know the machine work is top notch aero space quality !!:thumbsup

I just added a poll . Of course we want you to have it your way so I will talk to Jake about the option to include it or leave it off. Please note that I am not financially involved with this company and the only thing I gain from these projects is some more cool GT parts !!

I do want to thank you for the support of these projects. Jake and the people at Project 321 put in a lot of time, effort and money to make this happen. Without your support they would not continue to make us these cool goodies.. Typically I'll approach Jake with some ideas and design goals and he does the rest !!

These will be cool and we got more stuff coming !!:thumbsup

Updated Nov. 28 2008.. These are the actual pieces. Jake is now taking orders.. These make great GT stocking Stuffers.

Please note : No GT's were harmed in the making of this product.
..
:biggrin

I don't know Stormcat - Start a POLL!

Can't forget the 40 year old in your face F ENZO lineage of the car!

If Lemans never happened - Hot Wheels would have never made a GT40, there would never have been GT40 slot cars and GTJOEY and others like me would be driving Jaquars :eek

I say be proud of the history...... Badge it :thumbsup

Damn you DevilCat - more cool stuff to trick up my car. Bony may be the carbonfiber meister, but we'll be the billet masters. Count me in for RED. Good thing you're not female, cause you should would be a temptress.

Jake told me about these when I ordered my Epic Orange cap set, and so I've been anxiously waiting for these to match since then! The renderings look GREAT :thumbsup

Stormcat Jason had mentioned something like this coming in the past too me. Will being him at SEMA and picking up my GT500 stuff then.
The door sills look great and colour matching to engine items is good. Little confused about the black areas. On my car noticed the areas off scraping on entry mainly, is closer to the front of the sill where the word "Ford" is located on your pics.
Great to personlize with year and car #. Matches the whells nuts that Derry did for many of us.
I like the "LeMans" reference. Ties the old in with the new. As others have said if not for the Ferrari wars and the GTs winning 4 in a row, I doubt these would be here.
Blue version for me.
keep up the good work guys.

BRIAN: Black w/Carbon Fiber suits me just fine.
The reference to the bit of LeMans racing history that actually put our cars on the map is a brilliant idea, especially as that "Old-School" squib would be blended with 21st century techno-carbon fiber lookks!
Gotta love it...just my opinion and PM when available, please.
