Hey there folks, I could use a little help here. When I picked up my KR, I asked the sales guy to find the proper KR mats for me, and was told that the "running pony" mats in the car are the ones that it's supposed to come with...
On my KR window sticker, it lists "Custom Shelby Floor Mat Badges". Exactly what is that?
Can anyone be so kind, as to post a picture of the original mats in an '09 KR? I'm still trying to get the dealer to come up with the correct ones. I can't believe they're supposed to be a small running pony.

Thanks much, Duane

The factory KR mats have a metal badge attached to them. That's how they leave here. We wouldn't ship it with "Pony Mats" even as a mistake simply because we don't have here.

It's possible they were switched out someone after us.

Thanks Robert! I'll send that picture to my dealer.

Cheers, Duane

Yup, that's most likely what happened. A few people had the same problems with the SGT mats....dealers were swapping them out before the sale. Good luck getting those mats now. Let us know the outcome.

Also, did the dealer give you:
SVT Certificate
Ford window sticker
Shelby window sticker
Front brake cooling duct kit
Owners manual with KR suppliment
NAV DVD if the car is equipped with navigation

I got all of the above except for the original NAV DVD and the KR supplement. I noticed the no DVD right away, and was given the latest regular NAV DVD. Was there a different version for a KR? Also, what are my chances of getting the KR manual supplement...?

Thanks, Duane

You should have also received a post card to order a signed and framed GT500KR picture and a watch.

Nice; I didn't get that, either...

...Are you sure they gave you the right car ?!

Looks like a KR to me... #09508.
The owner's packet had been opened and re-taped, so that explains the missing KR supplement, DVD and post card.
I did receive the brake cooling duct kit, and the authenticity certificate.
I knew right off that the floor mats weren't correct, but didn't know what they were supposed to look like. I took the car, and told the sales guy I'll find out what the correct ones are, and get back to him later. Supposedly, he's written to Ford, requesting the missing items. If I don't hear back within a couple more days, I'll fill out my Ford dealership survey with plenty of negatives, and request the missing items from Ford myself. I've had the car for nearly a month now...
We'll see what happens.

Friggin' dealers...

The only thing I didn't receive was the original NAV DVD. They had to order one for me, not sure why someone would want a DVD?

You might look under the passanger seat for the NAV DVD and Manaul I did not think I got mine until a started digging around the passanger seat.

Thanks, but I'd had a look there... And the glovebox, trunk (including spare tire well), the brake cooling kit box (which had been opened).. I already got a new NAV DVD from the dealer, but it's a regular Ford one. I'm assuming that there wasn't a special Shelby DVD; right?

I do not think they are special to the Shelby it is a Ford NAV DVD System

There is no "Shelby NAV DVD" and if your navigation is working then the DVD is inside the unit and you're just missing the jewel case.

That said all this stuff is pocketable by the dealer prep minimum wage guys and ends up on ebay. The latest Ford Nav DVD can fetch $100 for example.

The system information screen gives you contact information, current location and access to the Navigation DVD.

To access the System Information screen:
1. Ensure that the system is on.
2. Press MENU.
3. Press SYSTEM INFO
4. Press ACCESS NAVIGATION DVD
5. Press Open

It's cool to watch it open, VERY James Bondish!

You will prolly not be able to get the floor mats, this was the case with the people buying SGT's. Someone stole the mats, and they are not replaceable. Only one set made for each car, no more. When buying my car, I walked away from several just because of missing floormats.

One thing is for sure Duane - that car is absolutely badass. That color combination is the one!

Thanks, folks. I liked the black/black best myself, but they're all very cool.
I just thought the black KRs looked the least like a Hot Wheels car, and might attract a little less unwanted attention.

BTW- here's a shot from a short road trip earlier this week. That Bullitt isn't mine, but one parked at a rest stop on highway 1. I just had to park next to it for a picture.
