What this product is for
Gofer Racing Decals Plug Wires with Boot (Gray) #16116 is the exact Gofer Racing Decals catalog item matched to supplier SKU GOF16116 . The current supplier description is “GR PLUG WIRES W/BOOT GRAY.” Product identification
The Muncle Mikes SKU is GOF16116. It is useful when nearby products have similar names.
Start with subject and scale
The represented vehicle, aircraft, machine, ship, or figure and its stated scale determine how the model fits beside the rest of a collection. The year in a vehicle name usually describes the real subject, not necessarily the year the miniature was produced.
Look closely at finish and features
Paint, graphics, glazing, wheels, mirrors, antennas, bases, and moving parts all affect the model’s display appeal. Opening panels, lighting, steering, or removable pieces should be expected only when the product description says they are present.
Plan enough display space
Scale alone does not give the final footprint. Allow room for stands, open doors, wings, trailers, mirrors, or other projecting details. A protective case also needs space around the model so delicate parts are not pressed against the cover.
Handle and store the model carefully
Lift the model by strong structural areas rather than mirrors, wings, or antennas. Keep it away from prolonged sunlight, moisture, and materials that may react with tires or paint. Packaging can be stored separately when it matters to the collection.
Planning the display
Measure the available shelf or case space and allow room for mirrors, antennas, wings, doors, stands, or other projecting details. Handle the model by its strongest areas and keep tires or painted surfaces away from materials that may react over time.
Condition and factory details are separate questions
Paint quality, graphics, wheel alignment, glazing, and small parts describe the model itself. Box wear, window scuffs, inserts, and seals describe the packaging. Keeping those two condition notes separate makes later comparisons much clearer.
Display the model at the scale it deserves
A crowded shelf can hide the details that make the model appealing and can put mirrors or antennas at risk. Leave enough space to view the subject from more than one angle and to remove it without scraping a neighboring model.
Study the exact product photographs
Keep the product record separate from later experience
The listing explains what the seller and manufacturer identify at the time of purchase. A later owner can add observed fit, assembly, operating or condition notes, but those observations should remain dated and separate from the original specification. This distinction prevents a successful custom change, a replacement part or normal wear from being mistaken for a factory feature.
For a repeat project, record the tools, materials and companion parts that were actually used. That turns the article into a practical reference without claiming that the same combination is guaranteed for every related product.
Preserve a useful starting record
Save the receipt, the product URL and one clear arrival photograph under GOF16116. Record only what can be observed directly: package condition, included pieces, color, size, fit, damage or missing components. Do not turn an assumption about a similar product into a fact about this one.
After the first inspection, add project or collection notes separately. That keeps the original product evidence intact while still allowing the owner to document assembly choices, display location, operating results, custom work or maintenance.
Collector questions worth recording
What identifies this exact release?
The full title, product reference, finish, wheels, graphics, packaging and photographs should agree. A vehicle name alone is not enough.
Should package and model condition be combined?
No. Record card, box or blister condition separately from the visible condition of the model inside.
Does a series name guarantee rarity or value?
No. Identity, originality, condition, demand and genuinely comparable completed sales all matter, and market results can change.
How should the item be stored?
Support it without pressure on mirrors, wings, axles, blisters or painted surfaces, and keep it away from direct sunlight and large temperature swings.
