Nice. I pulled my stripe off and I didn't even need a hair dryer or to clean underneath, it came off easy as could be and made a world of difference.

Also, can you link me to where you got your caliper paint? How long did it take to complete them?

hey, thanx for the compliments

umm yeh i'd love to get a chin spoiler, but IMO all the ones for the v6 look like there stuck on. I'd love to get a gt bumper and then a cdc either aggressive or classic chin in black....but I'm all worried about getting a takeoff front bumper that'll be scratched which would pi55 me off. Also, I'd need a new grille.....so what started out as a 250 dollar chin would turn into like 700 bucks, which really annoys me. Anyone have a better solution for this?

The caliper paint comes in a kit from duplicolor and it has the paint, brushes, masking tape, and cleaner. You can get it for like 16 bux at autozone.

Check out 3dcarbon's V6 chin spoiler. It looks better than most.

actually take off parts are taken off of cars with less than 10 miles on them, and if there are scratches they will contact you and tell you its scratched and offer a discount.

http://www.v6mustangstuff.com/TakeOffParts.htm

thats $390 for front bumper, GT grille, grille lights, and I think wireing.

or go to fangperformance.com and check out the chin spoilers heres a couple pics.

haha o crap..didnt notice that..o well..it was me and my friends first time trying it..so we were pretty much winging it..we kinda just bought the paint..jacked it up..pulled the wheels and taped off the rotor and sprayed 3 coats..and put the wheels back on..there wasnt to much serious thought put into it haha..but i still got alot of paint left..so when i change the pads maybe i can just throw a quick spray over them lol
