Default Window tint, caliper paint and lettering and Le Mans stripes installed.

Got the G2 paint for the brakes matched to the body color, the MUSTANG lettering on the calipers, and the tint job for Christmas. Put the Le Mans stripe this morning, wasn't convinced that I was going to like it. I did decide to trim it along the edge of the fender to lighten it up as it was just too much when it ran all the way down.

Sorry for the quality of the pics, It's cloudy and gray here today.

Overall, it turned out very well. I like the yellow strip along with your color mustang because it's not something that you see all the time. Great job

Looks good. I'm thinking some upgraded wheels will make this pop real nice.

I have some Drag DR-37s that I painted to a slightly darker gray, they currently have my Hoosiers mounted on them and when I wear out that set the Drags become my daily wheels and I will buy some 18s for autocrossing. The Hoosiers are just too expensive to part with any sooner then their death.

I like it, the yellow stripes are different and once you throw those new wheels on it will go good. Im partial to sterling gray though.

Looks good, the yellow rookie stripes are a different touch from what is usually seen for color and I like it (le mans stripes are the dual stripes going up over the roof from bumper to bumper)

Looks great, I love my Drags.

Those aren't rookie stripes, they are pit stripes. When race teams ran more than one car in the same color they used these stripes to tell the cars apart.

I've seen them referred to both as rookie and pit stripes, but you could be more accurate.
