Island Stang

My mods to my V6 so far:

Removed the rocker panel stripes.

Replaced the crap Ford stereo with a Sony w/XM and new speakers, sounds so much better!

Replaced the stock 16"s with NEW 17" Bullitts I got on Ebay for an incredible $500.00!

Added the "4.0" emblems, I think they look great and are an easy cheap upgrade.

Next up:

Exhaust, window tint, and fog lights. I came close to adding the "Mr. Wick" style Walmart lights
but, IMHO they look cheap, somthing to put on a tractor.

Nice...

I removed my panel stripes too, looks much better... not sure how I feel about the 4.0 emblem, but I've never been a fan of things/emblems on cars...

ChristopherCamel

how did you get the panel stripes off? do they just pull off cleanly?

StupidTodd

there's a lot of methods to removal.. the common one suggests a blow dryer...

I started with the blow dryer concept, but found that if I just waited for a warm day, and parked the car so the sun was on the side I was trying to remove... then just let it sit there for 20-30 minutes... they peel right off, no problem...

the blow dryer method works, but is only neccessary if it's cold/dark out...

StupidTodd

oh, forgot to mention... that sticky residue around the letters will come off pretty easy with a little elbow grease next time you wash your car...

Yeah, I know what you mean but I felt the car needs something on the side w/o the stripes.

Island Stang

I pulled it in the garage, and applied a little heat at the end with a heat gun, (blow dryer works too)
and they peeled right off, very easy.

When I first read about the 4.0 emblem, I thought, eh, cheezy, but it actually looks nice. The rims look great too.

Personally I like my side stripes but I think they go with the hood stripes I put on. I'm getting ready to put on my 4.0's too just haven't gotten around to it.
