Also forgot to say 01-04 headlights and a hood scoop would help out the front end alot.

If I pull the stripes off completely, you will see the "mustang GT" still in the paint, as that part is the paint from the door, and I'm afraid we will see a difference from the outline of the sticker if I pull it off. So thats why I was curious about black..

I like the navy-ish pony idea, I've pondered it, anyone have problems with the paint peeling and such from the plastic?

I've got 6k's in the headlights and for the fogs.. Just need to put the fogs in.

Do you think the black housing headlights will look okay with the "chrome and shinyness" of the rest of the car, I've pondered if they'd look out of place.

KillJoy, I like the idea between the exhaust, but would black be out of place, with the blue stripes? I'm worried if I do a few of these things without changing the stripes, its gonna look like h*ll.

I do have nice anodized valve caps though, that are blue.


What would you guys think of powder-coating my wheels white?

It's hard to match the stripes as they go from a silver-ish with blue tint, to all out blue, they fade lengthwise top to bottom.. But I'd like to do blue and white, as its different and unique.

Take the stripes off. There isn't going to be much sun fading down along the bottom of the car. My car had the side stripes and pinstripes when I got it, and you can't see any outlines. I haven't looked back since.

and 01-04 headlights would look light years better.
