RE: Stripe Thread
Yep, they are like traditional decals....not transfer tape.....i.e., peel the vinyl off the backing, squirt the hell out of the back of the decal and the car, slide into place, and squeegee out the excess air and water.......
Problem with the hood, and an 18 inch wide stripe, is all the compound angles fighting one another......
I'm hoping that if I do the rest, it will be a bit easier than the hood....

Hey Mike,
Looks friggin awesome! I'm almost wishing I'd gone with that SS Superstripe now. I thought about it b/c I think it looks amazing with the hood scoop. The 2 10-inch stripes poses a problem for me now. Do I go with a black hood scoop on my torch red or should I get a red scoop then try to use the rest of my stripes to do the scoop to match the stripes???? decisions, decisions, decisions!
As for you, I think you can't go wrong either way! IMO, do the roof and the trunk lid, but I personally wouldn't take that big SS stripe down the front or back of the car. Right now, you got that blackout panel, but I think it will still look good even if you take that off! Man, that's a nice ride! The hood pins set the whole thing off! Congrats! You must love drivin that bad@$$ 'stang!

Mike, - the shop that installed mine said the hood was the biggest challenge -- of course they didn't have to go up over the top so don't know about that. The rear bumper was also difficult to line up, but since you aren't planning to the bumper that headache is avoided for you.
I did get a couple of pictures (a little dark though) of my car with the Roush installed -- couldn't figure out how to attach them to a PM so I posted them here for you:

As for doing yours, my personal opinion would be a black hood scoop on top of the black stripes.The red gap in the middle of the stripes would offset nicely, I think. JMO.....
Jim,
OK, I really like it with the scoop on. I know since the scoop is new to you, it probably seems very large and awkward, but after you get used to it, you miss it when it's not on there. That being said, I really think the black scoop breaks up the stripe nicely...Obviously, the install went smoothly??
I really think Baltimore Street Mods is doing themselves a huge injustice, by not advertising the SS Superstripe with pictures with a scoop on...To me, it just makes the stripe, and the scoop......
Very nice job Jim, and thanks for your input on my decision. I appreciate it very much......After I get this poor Pony cleaned up this weekend, and out in the sunshine, I'll get some good pics for ya.....
Thanks,
Mike
