Stripes and Lowering Springs
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knew the answers to two questions I have.
1. For racing stripes, how are these installed? This i probably would NOT do myself, cuz i dont want to mess them up, but how much is installation and where do u get them installed?
2. Also, I was suprised at how cheap the Ford Racing lowering springs were, but also, who installs these and how are they installed? Does anyone have a price for installation?
thanks a million

For the stripes, you can get vinyl or paint. For both a body shop could most likely do them or reccomend someone that will do vinyl. You can get a nice vinyl kit from http://www.baltimorestreetmods.com (a forum sponsor) or pay about $1,000 for painted stripes from a local body shop.
With the springs, depending on your mechanical skills you could probably do it yourself. Otherwise I'm sure a ford shop would be able to install them for you.

i got my sripes from BSM and had them installed in town for $300. It took the guy a good 7 hours to do and theirs NO WAY IN HELL id ever have that kind of patience lol.
As far as the install process itself, u make a solution which is a mix of water, dish soap, and some denatured alchohol...soak the stripe front and back....soak where ur applying the stripes and shimmy it into place. once its where u want it u squeegeall the liquid out from under the stripe

how are they installed?
On the stock V6 front springs there were less connections and no ABS sensor to unscrew as compared to Taco Bills GT write-up so it went well. Had the most trouble with the pawn shop spring compressor tool I got for the job. I had to re-thread the hardened steel rod for the cast spring hooks to run on before i could use it. Used a number 8 hardened nut and 1/2 inch impact wrench with thread cutting oil to re-do it then all went as advertised. Only took 2 hours with the tool fix included.
