Oh, it's metal? Didn't know that. All of the Mandalay guests next month will be wondering why there's a bunch of guys and gals walking around the casino with red circle welts on their okoles (buttocks in Hawaiian).

I've been thinking of a special name for EP. How do you say "Big" in Hawaiian?:biggrin

Got them today also. They do make a huge difference in the look. Camilo's head is going to explode until I get some for his car. I can already tell why Ford left them out though, because there's gonna be a lot of molten metal ass burns for those in super sunny states :lol:

GREAT! And it's ONLY in the "low-100's" this week in Phoenix!

Good thing I just tinted my windows - and my windshield. Hopefully that will help.

Can you post some pics of the tinted windows please. I've never seen one tinted and was always curious what it does to the overall appearance.

I would die in my car without tint !

Nah, honestly I don't know how it will work in the sun. I guess we'll find out in Vegas. I can just imagine us all getting out of our cars looking like we've been attacked by an octopus squadron. :lol

That's what long pants are for :banana

DBK I am glad that you like them; as discussed another care package will arrive soon

Now as for the buttons and the heat; I found no thermal differences with them versus the OEM plastic as such in retrospect we should have packaged a sheet if peel and stick dots for all to place on there arse when in Vegas.

I hope that to a person that you enjoy them.

Now something worthy of sharing; the anodizing process typically leaves a small mark on the inside at one point where the electrode is attached; this my friends is a component of their character as such they should be installed with the mark at 12 o'clock on the back portion of the seats and at 3 o'clock on the bottom bolster and it will never be noticed; furthermore once they are fully installed the picture as presented causes this minor character trait to all but disappear.

Takes care

Oh crap. My wife is usually very understanding and simply tells me each time that I go to Vegas that, "I better not come back with anything."

Now I'm concerned that these marks might resemble an outbreak of one of those things she told me not to come back with. :eek:eek

I wanted to thank Andrew and Shadowman for this great upgrade. I've had them on my car since Monday the 11th and each time I look at the interior I can't help but think that this is how things were meant to be. Getting close to the original concept car now...! Thanks again.

#(*$#(R$ USPS...

"At point of origin" was the shipment trace results ...

Just my luck - I have the one set that's probably been in customs for 5 day's :rofl I can only imagine what they think the buttons are being I don't know but maybe they think they are?
1.) Bad shot glasses
2.) Cheap funnels
3.) 50 small aluminum octopus suckers

I couldn't even get them on my car because it's at Rich's place getting a new Stillen clutch installed. I took them over to Camilo's and put them on his car while he was painting and he had a complete freak out when he saw them installed :lol He was very, very happy with them, and really bummed that they wouldn't let them do it from the factory.. So there's your endorsement, Camilo Pardo recommends these be installed in all GT's.

Very cool and "Thank You"

Little progress today

"Status: Origin Post is Preparing Shipment"

:willy


Might now get them by October - at least the USPS is predictable.

Andrew - for future shipments mark them "PERISHABLE":rofl
