I sold this item on ebay to someone and now this person is asking me for parts so he can finish his s/r. He wants the chrome s/r letters for the back of the car, the s/r seat cover (non-leather) and the s/r steering wheel. The cluster i sold him is from a 99 and i posted a pic of the 99 taken apart. He now assumes that i am parting out cars and is asking me for these things.
when he asked me about the lettering for the rear he sent me the promotional pic of the 99 s/r which used the silver lettering. When production began after that they used red lettering on yellow cars and silver lettering on red 2000 s/r.
anyhow, i am going to post up his inquiry here so you too can lol
original inquiry:
HI, would you sell me the "S/R" chrome emblem(s) off of the back of your parts car AND a "ZX2"-logo embossed seat cover (which were standard on the "S/R" model) OR even an optional leather-trim cover if you have it, both pictured below along with the "S/R" rear emblemβ I have one cover (non-leather), just need one more for the passenger seat. ππ Feel free to email me at greenlanternas1@gmail.com if you like π€, I look forward to the cluster Monday (USPS' estimated delivery date)πππ€π―-Barry
reply to this:
it appears you are looking for 2000 s/r parts. The car this cluster was removed from is a 99. Also note that the lettering you are looking for is not chrome, it is silver. The one you pictured is of the ford zx2 s/r used for pictures in 99 for promotional information. The remaining 99 s/r produced used red letters on yellow cars. Only the red s/r used the silver lettering. Another thing, NO s/r was equipped with leather seats from the factory. The seat cover you pictured is correct for the 00 s/r. The 99 used different seats and steering wheel than the 2000.
do you have an s/r or are you trying to make your car look like an s/r? Knowing this will give me a better understanding what you are trying to do and what correct parts you need. I have a dozen s/r right now so I do know the differences of all the parts

his next two replies:
A. I know all of this my friend, B. Fact check, no offense, but some cars DID indeed come with a chrome "S/R" on the back, not just for "promotional reasons", I SAW/witnessed/inquired within in Y2K at the Ford dealership regarding all of that and did the homework before I made an informed knowledgeable decision 2 special order my own, both brand new on the Ford dealership's lot in 2000, two personally that were so equipped with chrome electroplated lettering "S/R", very few made it to the east coast in Virginia where I am as only about 2,000 "S/R" s were made, but I was there, I'm 56 and I bought/special ordered (waited about 4 weeks for it to arrive at the dealership) my ZX2 brand new and saw a beautiful "Zinc yellow" one so equipped on the lot at the same time, which I hedged on buying, and I should not have hedged, I should have bought it, but anyway no regrets, I ordered a red-clear coat "Sport" package on which I special ordered with hand crank windows so they would never wear out and rear disc brakes with automatic trans, just so you know. You obviously consider yourself an expert, so do I. I've been an avid Ford enthusiast my entire life and also know what I'm talking about, as you seem to. That having been said, best to you. if you decide you want to sell me any more of your parts and make some more money let me know because I've got it. I look forward to the excellent "steal of a deal" with the instrument cluster (a plus that it's also white-faced with correct backlighting, according to the photo, by the previous owner as I've white-faced my pre-existing 120 mph myself many years ago) on Monday and I thank you very much, best in your travels. ππ€
and this
And again, per my original inquiry, I am looking for a second "ZX2" logo-embossed seat back cover, or two if you have a pair, and the "silver" "S/R" letters (if that's all you've got) from one your parts cars (that will just about do it, I've modded everything myself over the years in a labor of love perpetually as Ford Racing did with the original "S/R" s in Y2K, and I put headers on it as well myself some years back, so except for the automatic trans, it's got a lot of tweaks and beef that their factory version didn't have), Again thanks, otherwise best to you, Barry π
so much knowledge, so much pwnage. i fucking hate these sort of people. too bad he is not local so i can make him look stfu in person by taking a real s/r in person and showing him

I dont understand people. What does he gain by trying to out knowledge you? He could have said ok and moved on. If he wants the stickers, he can have a shop try to reproduce them.

I hope he really does block me so he does not ask me for any other parts

I admit I'm no expert on parts for different years of S/R's, but WOW, the guy really got torqued for no good reason that I see. From what you posted, you were just trying to get him the right parts for an accurate "S/R clone".
