Looks good! Lloyd's mats were on my list.

I was looking for the 15+ Cobra logo for some keychains, and you are right about the licensing, they are just about nowhere.

That's a bummer to hear about the cobra on the Lloyd's mats as that's what I envisioned.

Love the Carrol Shelby signature.
Thanks buddy.

One of the problems of having a massive 5’5” stature, is constant seatbelt rubbing of the side of my neck. I found a guy on fleebay who makes seat belt pads. I asked him to make me a set with suede bottom, grey stitching, and the new cobra logo to match my seats. They came out great, and I am happy to report they solved my issue.

I think I’ll let my twin Duane Johnson know I found the cure for this problem....

Alright, I give up. I thought I saw the jacking adapters for when your car goes on the lift to protect the pinch welds on the car. I sorted through a bunch of this thread, I must have missed them. Do you have a link for them @Jmeo ?

Sure thing Tom, here is the link.

I included a couple pictures of mine, and one shows the depth. They work perfectly.

@Jmeo
I ordered them, thank you.

I think I am going to do what you did with the side snakes, remove before Xpel and reinstall. Ebay has the pair for about $150. Is that about what you paid?

I followed @Jmeo example as well and have a pair sitting on my desk for my scheduled PPF and ceramic coating.

I could not find them for less than that. Looked everywhere. They aren’t in most of the online parts catalogs so if you have a good parts guy maybe they can order them. But I got mine from blue oval industries. For about that same price.

Ordered up a set of fender badges for after the paint protection film is installed. :handsinair: The stock ones will be removed to wrap the fenders.

Jamie,

Did you remove those side snakes when you had the Xpel done? I read that you were going to do that, but I didn't see that you actually did it. If you went that path, was it difficult to get access behind the fender for the nuts or are they just held on by double-sided tape?

Tom,

They are held on by double sided tape. They have locating pins, but you can just use fishing line and floss the tape free. I was hooked up by a good friend on the emblems. I can give you his contact info if you would like. He works in parts at Jarrett Gordon Ford, in Davenport Florida.

I have been working on this creation with the really great people from Grand Design Mat for the last two months to come up with this design for my trunk lid mat. I just took delivery of this today, and I was floored when I opened the package and saw just how incredible this came out. Pictures just do NOT do this thing justice. Here is the description.

2020 GT500 Cobra logos (thanks @kilobravo) painted Ford Performance Blue & gloss white
Gloss white "SHELBY" with Ford Performance Blue accent
Gloss white "GT500" with Ford Performance Blue accent
Color matched carpeting, with carpet lined christmas tree fasteners for a really great finish

The snakes, and lettering are all hand painted plexiglass, and are recessed into the carpeted panel. The entire thing weighs maybe 2lbs (for those weight conscientious people). Simply remove three of the original christmas tree push pins from the OEM trunk mat, put the Grand Design Mat in place, and install the three carpet lined push pins.

I knew this was coming, which is why I ordered my Lloyd's trunk mat with the Carol Shelby signature, instead of the Shelby embroidery that I put on the cabin mats. I think this Grand Design Mat ties in Perfectly with the Lloyd's carpeted mat.

That would be great Jamie. Otherwise I will be spending $160 on the set.

While messing around today I removed what I consider to be an eyesore. There is this plastic bracket that has one harness attached to it, just in front of the fuse box. I took it out, and rerouted the harness underneath itself, if that makes sense. Looks a lot better now.

I may now move on to the hood release cable, as @marklboris has previously shown us.

The are extremely nice, and do amazing work. I will say they are crazy busy, and it will take roughly a couple months to get it. It was well worth the wait.
