As promised, here are some pics of the final/production version of the scattershield. Unlike the proto I made (that looked nearly identical) this part is All Stainless Steel, Laser-cut, machine rolled ... and ready to go.
Again, this DOES fit under the factory front cover.
The Scattershield works on all AMG 55 cars AND with all aftermarket pulley combinations AND with or without the Belt Wrap Kit.
Installation takes less than 15 minutes and requires only a 17mm wrench, a T40 torx, and 9/64" allen wrench.
I will likely make a quick install video and link it as well (but seriously, it's only a 4 minute job).
Everyone on the list who replies (to the PM I send today or tomorrow) will be able to by one at the previously indicated special price of $95. Shipping (2-day priority) in the US is $6 (international shipping should be $25 in most cases, Canada looks to be $21). Free US shipping for 2 or more.

And THAT ... is all 30 spots taken
As is often the case with things like this, some will drag their heals (too long) or wont reply to the "parts are ready to ship" Private Message... So, don't hesitate to ask to be put on the "stand-by list"
stand-by list
1. Ls1toAMG (moved up to primary list)
everyone else is getting moved to the new list, I hope to have them ready to go by the 24th
Moved to list 2 (see post #80 for new list)

(2-22-15 note) Everyone on the stand-by list is first in line for the second batch and will be contacted for shipping info etc when that batch is nearly ready to ship. Of course if a scattershield from the original batch is still available (still waiting for confirmation from a few on the first list), it will be made available to the top of the stand-by list.
Keep in mind that getting on the stand-by list is NOT a commitment to buy; getting on the stand-by list guarantees you an opportunity to buy one IF one/some become available.

I have to say the way you have conducted yourself and your entire approach to bringing this product to the community has been exemplary and the finished product appears to be of excellent quality. I am currently about to rebuild my motor so the shield will be good insurance.

UPDATE relative to shipping out scattershields
I am getting a lot of cooperation from those on the primary list and I really appreciate that.
If you see an * next to your name, I've gotten your email/info and the next step is that you will hear from me when I am ready for payment.
However, before I ship, I want to inspect and test fit EVERY scattershield. It will probably be the end of this weekend before I've had a chance to inspect and wrap all of the scattershields ... so I expect to start shipping on Monday. I will most likely be be contacting folks this weekend (or Monday) to arrange payment (I generally never ask for payment on anything until immediately prior to shipping ... ie day of, day before ... ). Everyone will get a tracking number emailed to them after I create their shipping label.
First Batch Shipping update ... update (2-23-15)
The shop that is doing the finish on this part for me (that was scheduled to be done last Thursday) was having a little trouble getting it done on time while meeting my finish spec and told me, "Friday for sure" (which is when I posted the original update indicating that I expected to be shipping Monday or Tuesday). Then on Friday they said, "Monday" (which kept Tuesday shipping as still possible). Well, today they tell me, "Tuesday".
So there you have it. The current status is "at best, no shipping sooner than Wednesday" (assuming I get them tomorrow, I still need time to test fit and inspect EVERY unit before I ship it). AND this is why I don't collect money for anything until it's boxed and ready to ship. (so please, don't send any money until I specifically request payment).
It embarrasses me to be later on this than I had earlier suggested, but rushing and then shipping something that does not meet my standards for function, fit and finish would be far more embarrassing.
Thank you all for your participation and kind words.
Chris
UPDATE relative to the "stand-by" list
Due to high demand for the scattershield, on Monday I am likely going to be starting another batch making the "stand-by" list into the next "list". Again, getting on the list does not obligate you to buy one. it just assures you an opportunity to get one. AND, anyone who is on the "stand-by" list " (or has asked to be on it) by the end of day Monday will have an opportunity to get a scattershield at the special price of $95. Then they will either get one from this first batch (if there are any that are un-claimed by the original "listers") OR the next batch (which should be available 3-4 weeks from Monday) . Those signing up after Monday (Feb 23) can reserve one, but at the "not-as-special" price of $105. I'm not trying to penalize anyone, this is just an incentive to help me get a clearer idea of the demand (so I build the right number) and ... a way for me to adjust the price closer to where it should be. Shipping is the same as before (2-day priority) in the US is $6 (international shipping should be $25 in most cases, Canada looks to be $21). Free US shipping for 2 or more.
I want to thank everyone for their participation, cooperation, and especially their kind comments.

Hey Chris, if it helps any, push me back on the delivery. Not that I still don't want a unit and I will pull the paypal lever the minute I see your email, but it is so freaking cold right now, I am not sure things will thaw out enough for me to put my SL back on the road until June. seriously, my car doesn't leave the garage below about 60F as I run high pro summer tires only.

I'm not certain I understand your request. This part is really only "working" when the Supercharger pulley is spinning apart, broken. Otherwise, it's just sitting on the engine lookin good.
Are you asking for video of it on a running engine? That I could post easily.
In any case, as previously mentioned, there is NO obligation to buy one if you get on the list. If you are curious as to end user feedback (which is a perfectly natural thing to be curious about) , there will be plenty of that here before you are asked to decide if you actually want to buy (as signing up right now would have you far enough down the stand-by list as you would not be asked if you actually want it until at least 3 weeks from now).
If you want to see a video of it installed on an engine that is running, let me know and I'll try and post that today or tomorrow. If you want a video of it working under fire as it were .... that'll take longer .
Cheers and thanks for your interest,
Chris

Hey Chris, just wanted to thank you again for putting the scattershield together for us all. Mine just arrived today. It looks great!
