    Just got my SHR Switch Plate Covers in the mail yesterday. I installed them ASAP and took some pics during the process. I saw them on their site over a month ago that they were in development and since I have most of their interior goodies, I decided to pre order (not to mention the price was cheaper as well) them on the spot! These are definitely high quality pieces! They totally replace the OEM covers, not just a simple/inexpensive overlay:nonono: They only took a matter of minutes to swap over:nice: I chose the black anodized as I don't like "flashy" parts. I posted this over on another site, that SHR frequently posts, they replied and said that mine are the only black set in existence so far:nice: I love the way they look, but I need to "shine" up the rest of the interior so it is up to par with the covers:D

    Thanks, guys!
    It was easy and causes no harm to the car! I had it all apart last month with the stereo install.

    Very nice looking. Too bad they are so expensive otherwise I would probably order a set.

    Looks good.

    Off topic, how did you do those covers for the 8's in your doors? Looks way better than the stock plastic covers.

    also what are those W1s? and how much better do they sound than the stock? do you have them amped up, or just factory amp?

    I have almost every interior piece they make! All are the black anodized as I'm not a fan of bright and shiny:D Parking brake handle cover, climate control knobs, remote mirror knob. Also will be custom ordering a set of their interior door handles in black as well. Then will be getting the black auto shifter bezel as well. I also have their billet faux fuel cap and the honeycomb tail panel. I've surely supported our USA companies and our economy:flag:

    They are the W1. They sound great! I do have them powered by aftermarket amps. Now I can feel the air hitting my leg! And the grille/cone color allows you to see how much these speakers move:D
    Here is what is powering my system:
    Alpine V12 (powers both 12" Kicker subs)
    2 Alpine MRP-F300 (one amp powers the driver side 6x8s and 8" woofer and the other amp handles the passenger side)
    Not finished as I want to make a carpeted panel which will cover all, but the top of the amps and a few other touches.

    My blue trunk neons shining down which gives a nice look.

    Yes, I no longer have a spare tire/jack in the car, but do carry cans of Fix A Flat.

    looks good....i'm in most cases the same way about bright and shiny especially up against a dark color, it's just too contrasting IMO.

    Looks great man. Can't wait to get mine. I just got back from Vegas, so I had to save all my money for that. Hopefully I can pick some up in the next month or two.

    To those saying they are too expensive, I have seen, many times, how much R&D time and money Marcello puts into his pieces... These were 3-4 months in development, and each one starts from a 3 POUND piece of billet aluminum. :D

    Let me rephrase. I have purchased from him before and his products are very high quality.
    This part may well be worth the price. In my personal opinion, though, the cost is too great for the change in appearance it would make to my car.
    I simply do not want it that much.
