Striping
Getting stripes done soon, could use some ideas. I'm pretty set on this (minus the ROUSH windshield banner and 427R lettering on the side obviuously).
Thats where I need some ideas... I'm stumped as far as what to put there instead (side). I thought about just 4.0L but it would either not fill very much or it would have to be huge and kinda stretched.
Also the lettering on the hood bulge sides. I was thinking 4.0 MUSTANG for there instead of on the side stripe. Sooo I need ideas for the side
. Also debating on a reverse C for the side instead since the roush stripe is pretty noticeable as just that, a roush regardless of what I letter in there lol.

lol it's odd when nobody has an opinion here...Went with this one (with mustang lettering, if I don't like it the spears are easy enough to replace) instead along with trunk blackout...Hopefully it turns out ok, we'll see.

You should name your car. Create your own special edition like Ford does (Cobra, Twister, Mach 1, BOSS, etc.) that you can build around and really call it your own. I myself have settled on Dragoon, which were riflemen mounted on horses, which fits in with the mustang/horse thing. Dragoon sounds cool too. I didn't want dragon because it seems too asian.
For you though I didn't put in too much thought but Gold Rush wouldn't be a bad name. You could cut out the letters on the hood spears, creating gold font but I think there are some hood spear decals that don't have the black outline so that you'd have more room to cut and thusly have bigger letters. As for the 427 stripe, I agree that 4.0L would look the best considering the stripe doesn't allow for many letters and not much else about the car can be summed up in 4 letters.

3dcarbon makes it. It's called a 3d500 lol. Here's an article with pics- http://www.mylrs.com/blogs/lrs/archi...3d-carbon.aspx Here's where I ordered -http://www.dgcustomauto.com/category.sc?categoryId=588 The only real difference I can see so far (hasn't come yet) is the gurney flap is molded one piece with the spoiler. So if you want it flat black you would either have to have it painted flat or use a strip of vinyl (most likely what I'll do). dgcustoms will paint it but to do it they have to paint the spoiler twice which takes longer and would be extra $$$ (talked to them about it the other day)
