Gentlemen,

When I ordered my new GT I wanted gloss black brake calipers to match the ones on my 2006 GT. Surprisingly black was not one of the options early in 2017 (it's available now). How about yellow then? No, that's not available either. So I ordered red and that was fine UNTIL....I saw my buddy Chris's Speed Yellow calipers that he had custom made by The GT Guy. With a little prodding Chris sold me his take off calipers (also red) that were still sitting in Rich's shop and he worked his magic again making me a set that match my exterior paint perfectly.

Three weeks ago I sent my new GT to Sanderson Ford for some final warranty work, oil change, and inspection before my warranty expired on September 29 and ace new GT tech Brian Naylor put them on. I absolutely love them and they really stand out. Peggy doesn't like them but girls don't know anything!!

Hard to believe I've had that car for 3 years now. It's been back to Atlanta twice and all over Arizona. 5300 miles on the car and 7000 miles in the trailer going to events. I love this damn car!!!!! Cheers.

Chip

They came out great Chip but you already know that. The only small correction I would make to your story is my take off calipers were black from the factory. I figured why pay the extra money for red since black was free and I was going to swap them for yellow.

As I pointed out, look at the difference in clothing at Tachy's venue vs mine. It is Fall here and two days of rain. You remember what that is Ed?

Sad! .. but true in this case

Ed, do you have a mount on the front of your GT for your cone?

Ah! Got it. I never actually saw them before Rich refinished them and I thought he told me they were red. Now I need to get the calipers on my '06 GT finished in Speed Yellow as well so the cars match.

Speed yellow calipers look spectacular. Great color choice.

The original black just get lost in the wheel.

Car looks great! Where do people get the "GT" decals, like you have placed in front of the rear wheels? I would like to get some made in white. Is everybody just having a local graphics/film shop make them, or...?

Maxemus made them for us, but I believe you could make them easily with a Cricut machine.

Guy who did my wrap was able to download it then cut it. Anyone who does “ wrapping “ should be able to do it easily in any color

Plus one on the above. Huge very positive difference.

Where did you get the GT behind the driver's door? It looks good.

First Show in a long while and my Girl was a big hit and featured at the registration entry spot! Over 65 1/38 model Ford GT’s were given to the kids, (and their parents wanted them too) and we all had a blast!

Additional pictures: I have posted A (Only in Texas Mopar) for your entertainment! My Girl always looks good entering a show in Track Mode but always check out the entrance elevation off the Main Street into the park!

Track Mode also = Show Mode
