Thanks, Antonio. It is unique, I haven't seen anyone else with a faux cap the same color as the car. It was only 100.00 to get it painted! Here's a better picture of the rear...I don't think i shared these exact photos here, yet.

There aren't many of us in the entire 2010+ Mustang community. I'm glad I did it. I'm glad Ford decided to go back to painted rockers on the 13s too. Anyway, here's a buddy of mine who had his 2011 PW painted as well:

That looks great! I am really trying to decide if I want to paint my GT/CS valance to match the car...any thoughts anyone? Would it be too much gold?

I say go for it...but, I'm a bit biased.

How much did it cost ya to get the valance painted?

YerBuddy

Remember, I'm stationed in Germany so the price will not match the US prices at all. I paid ~900 Euro (~$1200) to have the front fascia, rear diffuser, skirts, and a few small pieces of my wife's car painted. Since I work for Uncle Sam overseas here I don't have to pay the ungodly 19% tax that Germans are forced to put up with. I would imagine (but just a guess on my part) that a person could have all that done in the good-ole-U.S. of A. for about $800. If you are just wanting the front valance painted then I'd guess it would be significantly cheaper.

My recommendation would be to peruse every quality paint shop in your area. Ask for an estimate and what kind of warranty they offer. The German shop I went to gave me a two year warranty on any paint defects.

Sounds about right on 800$ for USA. I paid 200$ for my rocker panels and 200.00 for my rear fascia. I assume the front fascia would be like 175.00. My painter who did my rocker panels has a LIFETIME warranty which is a good thing.
