Thus far I have had a really good relationship with ZL1 Addons as a sponsor. Been very happy with their products, and my dealings with the owner John. Recently they were the solution to another "problem."
Almost all of us have to deal with the delimma of the front license plate. Some hate it all together, but given my personalized plate I would rather have it visible. I had Craigs custom bracket on my first GT350 and it worked fine. The mounting bracket for that setup attaches with 3M double sided tape. This time around I had my car ceramic coated before I installed the base, and sure enough it lost its bond after a while. The ceramic coating is doing its job, so no discredit to Craig.
ZL1 Addons has a front license plate bracket that screws into the tow hook mount, but I enjoy having the titanium hook on all the time. I figured that there had to be a mounting bracket ZL1 could make that would allow me to put another tow hook bracket on the passenger side for just the plate. Sure enough, I called John and he had one in stock. Apparently Shelby American had requested some custom made pieces for the passenger side, and John had one laying around. 2 days later I had the bracket and got it installed. Now I can run both the plate and hook without issue. Also should I ever have a nightmare scenario that I cant get the car pulled from the driver side, the passenger side is now an option too.
In any case, here are some photos I took if it installed. Car is dirty and the weather was gloomy, but this car is not going to be a garage queen. Enjoy, and call ZL1 Addons direct if you want the passenger side bracket.

Stay tuned.... unboxing this goodness and giving the man props that made it possible
That really made my day man. Way more than I had expected, and definitely something I will keep for a long time. YOU ARE THE MAN
Looks good bud
Every once and a while I'm not a complete asshole.
I'm ok w/the mirrors. Why 2 different color wheels?
You can never see both sides of the car at the same. No matter when you see ththe car it’s a cohesive package. Great way to get two looks out of one car. Like getting to have th work blonde and the brunette
My buddy Clint got the Signature Wheel SV501 I ordered for him mounted yesterday. My other buddy will have the SV502 I ordered for him this weekend. I will post pics of his car also so you guys can let me know which I should order as my track setup. Also has me kind of debating a 20” wheel
17” Lighting Blue GT350
Chassis H5588
Stock suspension with 38 miles
Signature Wheel SV501
Modified GT350R specs to reduce rear wheel poke
20x11 front 305/30/20
20x11.5 rear 325/30/20

Indeed, but I could never do it to my cars. I'd feel stupid.
I think I found the new track wheel. Our Signature Wheel SV502 finally got mounted on my buddy Honeybadgers GT350. I am digging the results.
Super nice, how much do the wheels weigh?
This setup is 20.8 lbs each
Finally got some photos of my car taken by photographer Summit SS on Instagram. Good kid with some serious skills. Signature Wheel SV108...
Haven’t had time to update much. Not a whole lot happening, but some fun stuff.
Heading to the Raptor Assault in Utah next week. Looks like snow so I can’t wait for that. Anyone else going March 6-7?
Also bit the bullet and bought something I’ve been wanting for a loooooong time. Should be here his weekend.
One more item left to complete the puzzle before Fab Fords and the Buttonwillow track day in April.

The big day is near. Parts should be arriving to my detail partner Imperial Works tomorrow. Got these photos sent over from Carbon Composites by MAD. Who the heck is that you may ask?
As many of you are aware Carbon2Carbon pulled down their online site. Chris owned that company and used it for the GT350 parts. Chris is now consolidating Carbon2Carbon into his pre-esxisting MAD industries umbrella. I will be working with them to launch the new web page, and start a nice group buy for the spring/summer. Until then, here are some photos of what’s coming :headbang:

Just finished up my install of the full Carbon Composites by MAD exterior carbon fiber kit. 16 hours later we have some photos. Car was filthy, but we got something to work with. More pics and details to come later. For now, feast....
