Stripes look good. Nice color choice. But now lets talk about something more shocking. The picture quality. What kind of phone is that? Nice pics! I have a new Razr, 1mp, and the pics are not near that quality.

ok 2 part answer:

1. Stripes are costing about $500-$700 depending on if I have extra things done (side window louvers, hood scoop, etc) ... The Body shop manager at Team ford in Humble, TX is Awsome... they had another Mustang (GT) there that was getting the full body kit, and they are doing a great job. 18-20" chrome wheels, lower fog lights, kind of like you see in the magazines. I would have taken a picture, but I did not want to steal someone elses thunder, if they post here ... He is taking very good care of my car, and is happy to talk with anyone about any mods they want done, stripes, kits, scoops, etc... his name is Danny if anyone in the Houston area needs body work done (I know shameless plug, but he is taking VERY good care of me)

2. Phone is an LG 8100 - I just upgraded with Verizon... has a 1.3 MegaPixel camera in it. first phone died on day one as I am getting on a plane to Baltimore, but the replacement is great. Also, takes 15 sec video, and has a mini-SD slot, although it comes with 32MB memory in it anyway. Great for those quick Mustang shots, as you see above

Thanks for the feedback, I will post after it is done. When I talked with Danny he said he may go ahead and take the side moldings and side stripes off for me before they detail it. The side stripes are black and I am going to have to find somthing to replace them with that matches the blue stripes... he gave me a piece of the tape that got painted, so I can match it.

Gloves car was my insperation I was thinking about black stripes to match the side stripes, but after I saw his, there was no other choice. I told the wife about the black stripes, then showed her Gloves car, and she said that there was no way that I was getting black stripes after seeing his car
