I've never clayed my vinyl stripes, as they're matte black. You MIGHT be OK on gloss stripes, depending on the clay's abrasiveness, but I wouldn't do it. This thread and the included video provide good info on vinyl stripe care.

That sounds like progress. May I ask why you decided to go with a lower instead of an upper?

Beautiful work, as always!

Another beautiful job on a great car, with a proper gear box. (y)

Looks like @1Kona_Venom's was actually $62 more than @2011 gtcs's quote. Still crazy, but not quite as much. Shelby's ($392) shipping cost to Colo Spgs for one is $142 higher than the ($250) quote I got to ship it on my own FedEx account. Again, crazy, but unsurprising from SA! o_O

I did that last summer, when we road-tripped the east half of Route 66 in it. It's noticeably more powerful with all that extra air. My tuner provided a sea level tune, to maintain safe AFRs, for such occasions.

Indeed, it is! At the elevation where I live, she's pushing roughly stock (~15psi) boost. (Keep in mind dyno numbers are corrected.)

A number of us have spent time in the "other forum" too. Unfortunately, it's changed considerably over the past decade. Multiple and diverse opinions have been largely drowned out by a small number of dominant voices. Discussion of all GT500 versions morphed into what is predominantly an S550...

Welcome aboard, Randy! There's a deep pool of '13/'14 knowledge and experience available in this group.

They didn't take long to sell out. Hope you guys got what you needed/wanted.

Get them while you can, gents... https://www.shelbystore.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=S4AM00001%2D010

No experience with the vendor, including whether they're reputable or still in buisness, but this site let me add one to my cart and move to checkout. Your experience is making me wish I bought a spare.
