: New Heat Shield Design for the JLT GT500 intake
Tucker 02-19-2008, 10:36 AM Well, it's been a good year and a half and we have sold well over 750 JLT GT50 kits so far.
After reading a couple comments from people wanting a better heat shield we looked into it.
Starting with our 05-up GT heat shield, we went to work to see what we could come up with.
Well, I'm happy to say it's a nice piece.
It's a much thicker 3/16, heat resistant ABS plastic. It has a built in support for the intake that also helps guide it to the proper position for best fit.
We did not fully box in the bottom and sides like others as that is exactly where your getting the cool air from when at speed. So the bottom and fender apron sides are fully open. The back and sides are designed to block the engine heat at idle and low speed, but the openness allows good air flow to the filter.
The new shields have been shipping in kits starting 2/1/08.
If you are one of the 750 JLT customers with the original shield and are happy with it, your fine. This was more of a design change for easier install and improved fitment over all.
If you would like to up grade your existing shield we have put them on the web site here.
Priced at only $30 shipped

Thank you for your support.

LuckySnake 02-20-2008, 08:17 PM I would like to buy one. Need a passemword please. Still think Stage 2 is best bang for the dollar, happy I bought it a year latter.
Thx,

LuckySnake 02-21-2008, 05:09 PM Jay, I left a request on your web site and on this thread yesterday for a password, so I can buy the new heat shield. I usually don't have time to call during the day, so using the web is helpful. You aren't trying to compete with SPP's service are you? Just kidding.

All you do is set up a new account.
Put in your email and make up your own password.

My phone order took 2 minutes, and it shipped out an hour later.
However I ordered Tana a lower front grill from SPP and I have no idea when it will ship. I am playing an e-mail game with them now. 3 days and no shipment. I don't get it.

Don't get me started on SPP service, or lack there of. http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc289/JoeG_09/Emoticon/Shootme.gif

LuckySnake 02-22-2008, 04:15 AM You only need one good reason for people to want your product, they know it.
To bad to sad for us the customer and Shelby fan.
Tucker 02-22-2008, 05:50 AM Blayne,
I didn't understand your post, sorry. :confused:
We don't have passwords to order, you just need to "add to cart".
If you have any questions feel free to email me, but orders are coming in over the web site daily.
BTW, I also don't understand the ablove post, I'm a little thick I guess
Thanks
Jay
LuckySnake 02-22-2008, 11:05 AM Hi Jay, your company is a pleasure to buy from. Every time I have tried to buy something from Shelby, SPP or an autherized dealer, it was like pulling teeth, not much fun and who wants to be toothless. SPP knows they have some loyal customers that will put up with allot, because of the Shelby name.

Jay and Lisa are FANTASTIC to deal with!
Quick to answer questions, quick to ship, and always willing to go the extra mile.
SPP?? Not so much.:mad:
Tucker 02-22-2008, 02:14 PM Thanks for your comments Blayne and Joe.
Lisa's great. She knows soo much more then I ever thought she would about cars.
Remember, I'm the car guy and to her the "thing" in the garage was a money pit. Well, now that I pulled her in my world she like it more and sees my vision.
She gets frustrated when she doesn't know the answer to a tech question, but she will learn it and write it down for the next time it comes up.
She's great!!
Thanks again
