Talking ***** Yesssssssssss!!! *****

Got my new MGW A/C switches, cigarette lighter and AOD handle from George today. He finally got them back from the platers and they are SAAWEEEET! I also stuck around for a few hours (heck, I didn't have anythng to do) while he was working on the prototype for the turn signal handle. He told me to "feel it out" and let him know what I think. Well, it's just like the rest of the stuff he makes, it gives the part a more "sturdy, higher quality" feel than the stock plastic pieces.

He's been slowed a tad 'cause he's gotten a big military contract to make parts for a little "incident" that everyone is well aware of. If the government trusts him with thier parts, well, that says ALOT. He told me tht he should be able to get full on the rest of the accessories that he's planning on making (oil cap, door locks, license plate) as this contract is winding down. He's got everything in triple plated chrome and satin anodized now. Check it out:

$28 for the AOD
$20 for the cigarette lighter (which I don't use but the SVT sure looks NICE)
$60 for the A/C switches

I looked at the UPR switches and there is a night and day difference between the two. The MGW pieces have ALOT better finish work to them than the UPR's. No comparision between the two. He said the prices will be right inline with the Mustang pieces on his site. I also just opened the new MM&FF and they have a feature article on MGW and his Mustang parts. They liked them as well.

BlackExpo,

He's got the A/C switches, AOD handle, cigarette lighter, hitch plug and dipstick in stock. He should have everything on the website early next week. I helped him take photos today so he's gotta download everything. Give George a call. I'm positive that he'll be more than happy to answer any questions you have.\


*waiting on the MGW posterchild (beefcake) to show up*lol

Those are nice CC but are they shinny like billet cause they look a little dull in the pic just curious. Are they going to make a head light sw. to go along w/the other switches, that would be cool

Smokn,

The satin has a matte finish (anodized which is virtually indestructable) and the chrome, well, it's like a mirror.

He actually took one of the satin pieces and rubbed all over the table and you would think it would marr it... uh-uh, it just streaked up the table.

Thumbs up

All I can say is , they look Bad A$$ sweet!!

I saw the UPR stuff at Bowling Green, KY when I was there, no comparison to MGW's, MGW's are much better quality...

Showed them in Satin and Chrome to a lot of L owners at Englishtown, NJ this weekend.

Excellent quality and a fair price for everything I have (A/C/Heater/Fan/Temp switches, Lighter, AOD ****, hitch plug, etc ) I love them.....

MGW may have to hire some more telephone operators to handle all the new orders...

I know they can handle it, they have excellent customer service...

later,
DL

I can personally vouch for the hitch plug.
It is in chrome, and is extremely nice!
Really dresses up the back end!
Very nice quality and the finish is flawless!

Highly recommended!

I am def. looking into the shifter handle and the turn signal handle...
