Fantastic job - very sharp. I hope my stripes from the dealer come out as well.

That is one dayum nice looking Stang. Thetwo things I would do is use the decal between the tail lights and remove about 1/4 decal from around the brake light. The reason for the decal would be to keep the same shine as the stripes. The reason for the 1/4 arond the brake light is to help set it off a little.

I love the way that car shines. Keep up the good work Mike and keep us updated like you usually do.

Thanks again to all....

Hey Greg,
Appreciate it very much...Ya, I know we had talked about doing the border around the third tail light, but I wasn't comfortable with trying to free hand a cut on the vinyl while it was still on the backing......LOL..
So I may just get a cheap 24 dollar trim ring for the third brake light, and paint it MG....we shall see, but I like the idea of it.....Either that, or I might be able to sell a brushed trim ring, since it would match up with the rear medallion.....don't know........

Thanks for the input, it is appreciated....

Mike

You got the theme going like we spoke before, so keep it. It looks great. The honeycomb one may be a bit#@ to keep clean.

Looks good! I had the same stripe kit installed for free from Baltimore Street Mods (the picture in the ad is mine). I had the honeycomb blackout panel by SHR and felt that it took away from the appearance of the stripes. I eventually removed the stripes because they were getting scratched too much. Again, looks good!

Blackout panel definitely looks better than ending the stripe before the bumper. However, I think the blackout panel would look even better if it were flat black instead of shiny black. I think the honeycomb panel would alsolook just as good asa flat black panel.

Very nice. Are you going to put on a chin spoiler? I just got mine from CDC, its the Clasic. I love the fit, look, and how easy it is to install! I'd post a picture, but I decided to paint mine to match the car, give me a couple of days. I also just installed the Shaker kit from CDC, I think it is very high quality, and love the look! I like your stripe so much, I think I might do the same on my car, it's that, or gost flames. You can check out the shaker install at: http://garrysgarage.spaces.live.com/it was very easy to install. That chin spoiler would look sharp on your car!
