I have seen many posts where people have paid $2000 + for just the painted stripes. Make sure they warranty there work. But if they do a quality job $1300 sounds like a great deal

The guy that painted stripes on my 01 Cobra passed away last week, but hisson did all the mechanical work on my 01 Cobra that I traded for the 07 GT. I saw some of his work and he says he's been painting longer than doing the mechanic work so I should be good. The place is Street Lethal Performance in Ebinsburg, PA. You cant swing a dead cat without hitting an 01- 04 Cobra in his parking lot.
I'll post up some pics when done. Thanks for the replys

That is a good price if its quality work. I'm very happy with my paint job but it was very pricy. About three times your amount.

Install of CDC agressive chin spoiler is not as simple as CDC instructions indicate; well that's if you want it to look right. There are issues that I have outlined several times on this forum. Which of the following looks like a better install?

A proper install (seamless), with 'warping prevention plug', with paint would cost about half of your $1300. I think there is plenty of reason for you to be concerned about all the work listed here for $1300. I'd rather pay twice that and getmasterpiece quality work. I will bet that the std CDC agg install you will not like and once painted it's a bit late to do it right.

I might suggest the Classic; can't go wrong there.

You say "paint" side mirrors. Don't tell me they are going to paint over the grainy plastic. It takes 2hrs per mirror to smooth and prep them correctly. Better check with these guys....

FYI

I'd be happy with either, yes, the seem-less looks more "show" quality, but the standard install looks fine IMO. Is the seem-less lookfiber-glassed & puttied? For me, if the cost is double or tripled, seem-less vs the standard install, for a daily driver I'd go with thestandard install, just in case some curbs or speed bumps get miscalculated...........
