de striped the 05
Well one of the stripes in the back was peeling off a little so I just said to hell with it and got rid of them altogether. The trunk and roof were extremely easy but the hood left the most adhesive residue that I had to remove. But its all done now and I like it alot better from the rear but the front looks ike its missing something. I think a stallion front end conversion will clear that up. Now on to the de-badging and shaving haha.

After:
I've attached a quick photoshop of how i want the rear to look. I didn't shave the wing though, but I def want it GONE!!

RE: de striped the 05
at least get a blackout pannel if your going to de-badge it...
and about that truck- how the **** do you drive it? it looks like the bumper would be skidding the whole way-- hope you have air shocks

please don't rice the Mustang as much as you riced the pickup next to your Mustang. It looks too plain with everything gone. JMO

Rice is adding useless crap to a car that serves no purpose, kinda like vinyl stripes and wings. I prefer the smooth look, I've grown up with minitrucks(I'm not an import rice fan at all so its unlikely rice is associated with anything I own) and the moto is less is more. Just a personal opinion everyone has i guess. Thanks for the reply though as incorrect as it may be.

air shocks? That would be pretty ghetto haha. Its body dropped and is airbagged. So when I do drive it (which is never since I got the stang ) haha, I just hit the switch up to open the valves and the truck airs up. Its strictly a show vehicle thats been featured in trucking magazine so its a trailor queen. As soon as its sold the mustang will get alot more goodies. As for the blackout panel I would probably get that area painted black if I went that route. I hate adding more plastic to a car that can be done otherwise with metal or paint..

+1 on the blackout panels...I've never really cared for them on the new stangs. Just too much plastic imo, and they never seem to look like they belong on the car. I've seen a couple of show 05-06's with the back panel actually painted black...now THAT looked clean.
nice looking truck by the way

yeah I like trucks still but they aren't to practical for daily driving. I'd much rather fix up the stang though at least till I get my own house and garage and then I'll get back into trucks. Thanks for the props on the truck and stuff guys.
