Project 321, the company that made my billet GT500 engine caps shown in THIS THREAD has sent me some pics of new coil covers they've developed.

They are billet aluminum, and can be anodized in red (pictured below), blue, black, satin, and polished, like the finishes on their engine caps.

The covers shown below are a set they made with the GT500 logo in the 2010 lettering font (they have a new 2010 GT500 on the way to their shop). I want them to do the GT500 logo in the 2007-2009 lettering font to match my car and the caps I have from them.

If I can find just 4 more interested parties, they will go ahead and machine the covers with the correct font for the '07-09's.

Everything will basically be the same as the ones pictured below, except for the GT500 lettering, and of course, will be available in the colors mentioned above.

Price for the pair will be $350 plus shipping.

Let me know, either in this thread, or via PM or email if you are interested or if you have any additional questions.

Thanks,
Ed

Would be interested in they did GT500KR lettering.

Put me down for a set 07-09 in blue

Is this the same company that produced the Project 321 Billet Caps for Lethal Perf. ?

Will these be sealed on the back side?

I would be interested in '08 lettering, black.

[bandit67]

Yes, these are from Project 321. Once I placed my order through Lethal, P321 took over keeping me posted on the manufacturing schedule, shipping, follow-up emails, etc.

They then sent me photos of the new covers to see if I'd be interested, since we had a raport going from the engine caps. It was nice being able to talk to the owner and his wife via phone & email.

I don't think we could get the KR text in on this group buy, because it would take a smaller font size to fit the extra 2 letters into the existing shape of the top. Every different font run means additional computer design time and machining time.

OK, so it looks like I only need to fill 2 more slots for us to get these '07-'09 covers into production.

weren't they supposed to be 299.?? 350 group buy means how much full price= too much IMHO.

So who told you $299?

I think I was pretty clear that the group buy was so that we could get the covers fabricated with the '07-'09 font that matches our cars. If we don't get a group together, there will be no covers made with the '07-'09 font, only covers with the 2010 font, and the 2010 covers aren't even going for $299.

So don't worry, I won't put you on the list of folks that want them.

I'm interested. Would have to think on color. How complicated/time consuming is the swap?

I couldn't tell you how long, but it doesn't look like it'd be too bad - only 2 bolts per cover. The driver side would take a little longer with the air intake tube to deal with.

If you can screw in a light bulb you can switch out the coil covers. Put me down for a set of red covers.

[sdavidson]

Will they be doing a super snake coil cover or
is the GT 500 the only one?

Dunno.

I've asked them about the SuperSnake and GT500KR covers, and will let you guys know what they say.

Thanks for the reply. Keep me informed. If it comes down to the
GT 500 and no SuperSnake I will probably go with the red GT 500.
I have a 07 red SS 427 Convertible.
Those coil covers look great. How close is the red to the torch red
on my car?

I too was concerned with how the red anodizing would look. It is a little different, but more because of how the anodizing looks compared to how a solid color looks.

My washer fluid reservoir cap sits right in the middle of the red of my painted radiator cover, which is an exact match to the Torch Red on the car, and my wife and I think it looks great. So did a bunch of other local Shelby Club members that saw it on Saturday.

OK, I practiced on a few light bulbs. Once I mastered the whole 'righty tighty, lefty loosey' thing I felt better. Red for me

No SuperSnake or GT500KR covers at this time - licensing issues with Shelby.

Only GT500 covers are available.

I'll get back to those of you who contacted me later in the week with instructions on how P321 wants us to proceed.

[09 Red GT500]

Put me down for a set with the 07-09 font in red.

Will send a PM also.

Thanks,
Earl

I'll take a set in RED for 07-09. Are the backs of the cover insulated? Would it be OK to have metal over the coils?

I am confident that whatever we need to make these covers work, P321 will provide it. However although I do not know the answer to your question, I have forwarded to them and will get back to you when they reply.

In the mean time, please PM me your name and email so I can add it to my list to pass along to P321.

Thanks,
Ed

[bandit67]

westang & sdavidson,

If you guys are still interested, I need you to PM me your name and your email address.


To all who have replied,

I am compiling a contact list to forward to P321. The owner's wife, Sam, will then contact you to take your order.
