Craig,

I love the Phase II package. The car exudes raw power. There are very few production cars that can stay with it on the street. I'm glad we added the package to the car. Now, if I could only get another set of floormats...

Thanks guys for the kind words, but there are a lot of car nuts that work here and we all have the same passion. They also deserve the credit . . .

For those interested . . . Dale Earnhardt Inc. is having a series of car shows at the DEI Race Shop. Each show will focus on one car specifically, like a Camaro show, Corvette show, Monte Carlo show, etc. There will be only 100 cars per show allowed and some of the shows are sold out. Here is a link to what DEI is calling "The Legacy Chevrolet Show Series" http://www.daleearnhardtinc.com/cont...cy/series.aspx . . . It should be a great time, and Dale's shop is a work of art . . . trust me, I know . . . He was a trip to work with . . . a time in my life I'll never forget. Thanks for the memories Dale, Steve, Missy, Tom, Teresa and all of the great folks at DEI and DEC . . . I'll see you May 15th for the Camaro show . . .

George,

I have to ask....Why do you need another set of floor mats? Perhaps for the back seats? Matt should have included at least 2 fronts with your car.

Craig,

We should have sold two sets of mats with our cars because a lot of owners want to use a set and put a set away. To get more Intimidator SS's mats you would have to go through the Earnhardt Dealership and they to date will not sell any parts or pieces to those cars. The timing of Dales death and the issues after he died caused the dealership and DEI to destroy any extra pieces and they said that they would never sell any extra parts for these cars . . . even to owners. I tried to get them to keep extra parts in stock; but they said, NO. I can't blame them for what they went through, it was a bad time . . .

Craig,

Like Matt mentioned, I'd like to have an extra set to put in the car and another set to put away. I've never put the original Intimidator set in the car because I know I'll never get another set when these wear out.

George,

Same with me. My original mats are in cold storage and I keep just the DEC paper mats in the car. I picked up some extras when I was near Newton a few months back as they are fairly high quality. They're not like the cheap 'tissue paper' ones other dealers give out. I've actually had guys offer to buy them!

Matt.....

What other Intimidator specific parts are no longer available to original/current owners?

Craig,

Emblems mainly as they were the ones that the Earnhardts worried the most about with Dales signature on them. The air box sticker is not available, I can talk to them about floor mats and car covers. We can get the stripes, but they are just a little different . . .

Matt,

Thanks for the update. I'd like to have the second set of mats for my car and I'am sure George would as well. I can provide the GMMG brass tag number and the VIN if needed.

Any help will be appreciated.
