There is a guy on the forum who did this with a PW looked awsome.
Tom there is also a guy that put 281 on the side of his shaker.

I think I prefer the Shelby GT500 still...

The stripes weren't the way I thought they were, but here you go.

I know one thing... that car leans like a be-otch... look at the gap on the front left (11.jpg) and compare it to the front right (1.jpg).
I decided against the light bar (for now anyway). After you get the light bar, let me know how hard it is to get in and out of the back.

See if anyone can photochop one for you Tom. I might try again but this weekend I will rarely be online.

Stripe project is coming along as well as expected. Spent around 3 1/2 hours today on it. Completed the hood, roof, rear deck lid, 3rd brake light and GT emblem. Spoiler and bumpers are tomorrow.
I won't bore you guys with install directions, Daryl did a great job on his write-up. But, I'll post some addt'l pics and info as an addendum to Daryl's write-up.
Hot Tip: Use plenty of fluid!
My kit was a bit shorter in length on the hood and roof stripes compared to Daryl's.
Roof: I barely had the length to tuck the inboard side of the stripes into the weatherstripping above the windshield. In fact, I'm a tad short in the back. I chose the lesser of 2 evils and decided it was more important that the vinyl gets tucked into the weatherstripping. Days from now, after all is dry, I'll pick up a roll of gloss white 1/4" pinstripping to fill in the void in the rear (only partially covers where it's supposed to tuck down into).
Hood has less over-hang too. I could have even both sides a little better, but it came out good. These were a concern for me because the hood will be open at carshows.
3 piece rear: Now I know what Daryl went through. Thanks to his experience, I saved ALOT of grief and time. After laying the GT emblem first (still wet), you have to float in the 3rd brake light vinyl. These 2 pieces WILL NOT MATCH. It's about a 1/16" off on each side; 3rd brake light vinyl being too narrow. I knew that Daryl had to trim the vinyl here, so knowing all of this, I took immediate action instead of waste time trying to line up the impossible. I used a razor and a straight edge to 'feather' the wider part of the emblem vinyl into the narrower brake light vinyl; triangular cut, maybe a little less than a 1/4" in length.
3 piece order: Emblem, brake light, and decklid last. This pattern will allow water to flow down the vinyl steps.
Trunk overlap was minimal too, totally acceptable to me. Again, I think my kit is shorter in length compared to others. Worked great in the areas I did with the exception of the roof.

Looks great Bill! You aren't concerned about the roof? He would probably send you a longer piece if you told him what happened. Good luck tomorrow, uh, today!
Am I the only one that notices stuff like that?

I think you will have more HP with the K&N in place, but the shaker system has a cleaner look.

If I can't get the pinstripe to blend in, I'll be asking for longer replacements. That section where it's short really can't be noticed at all because it's in the area where the roof panel steps down into the rear glass.
But, before I do re-order, I have to see how the F&R bumpers go as well as the CDC spoiler. There's a chance BSM may have to send me a bunch of replacement stripes!
On the lean, I was focused on the Shaker, so didn't notice the suspension lean. You have an eagle eye for that one, my sight for that is probably that of a sparrow.

The later will change my 'warm air' intake to a 'cooler' air intake.
