These are a no brainer for anyone that intends on keeping their GT. You would never know these aren't stock, except that they won't get a case of the squiggles in the heat. These are very well done pieces of equipment. Job well done to those involved.

** UPDATE **

I was just informed that the production of these vents is coming to a close as such I ordered a few sets to tuck away because the likelihood of them being created again is IMO slim and none.

Once the tooling and fixtures have been put away the idea of setting t he system back up for a solo set here and there would become cost prohibitive.

It is for this reason that I encourage all to make a decision soon as to whether these are interest to you because the window of opportunity to closing.

FYI at the present time the OEM plastic replacements are over $300 retail and if as expected the prices continue in the upward direction it will not be long before these billet OEM replacements are on par from a price point and yet will forever be the better piece.

In closing; there is nothing in my sharing this other than my knowing that a last opportunity was presented to all.

Great job with the vents, I couldn't be happier. They arrived last week, finished at the powdercoater yesterday and installed without a hitch. IMHO, they look better than the OEM and will definitely last longer. As far as a must haves, these vents should be on the top of the list.

Thought it would be easier than matching the Mark IV Red. Thank you Shadowman for your help :thumbsup

Everyone that has placed the orders should have the top and side vents delivered to them by now:banana. As a note from the machinist, KDO GT, and myself it has been an absolute pleasure to have provided such quality products at an affordable price as well as being able to making a small contribution to all of the great members of this fabulous forum.:thumbsup

Well I don't know if I'm mad (at myself) or just disappointed (at myself)... I committed to buy the Side Vents and thought they were paid for (by PayPal). I just received my bank statement and realized I never purchased these. I am still interested in the Black powdercoated if another set is available or put me at the top of the list if there is a second go-a-round... Ed

Shadowman and I have spoken about the vents as our machinist has plenty of them setting on the shelf and ready for immediate delivery. Just as before paypal $700 for a complete set of black powder coated side vents to info@tricountyaire.com as this does include shipping.:cheers

Thank you; I chatted with Petunia earlier today wanting to have those if any remaining sold though Petunia first so as to take care of the machinist that went out of his way to create these jewels and when they are gone I have a few sets tucked away.

All the best

Let's take care of those machinists... I have a machine shop with CNC equipment and look forward to seeing the skills your guy has to make these. Had to be a real challenge!

Thank you for the comments; I have no doubt that once received you will see that the fellow did a fricken stunning job of recreating these pieces

You can't tell them from original until you tap on them and get a ringing sound instead of a cheap plastic thud.

Perfect.:thumbsup
