Sorry for the delay. I had a busy weekend and wasn't able to get on here. As far as the 50' circle, you have a point. And I'm an Architect... by no means an engineer... so I won't even pretend to understand exactly what removing the front swaybar will do. But, I think for me and the type of street driving I do, it actually works better for me to not have the swaybar on. I guess there are more dangerous things to sacrafice for a little bit of performance... like a guy I know who removed his airbags to save weight.

As for the stripes... they are a modified version of the 'Shelby' stripes. I went back and forth between a 2" gap, 1" gap and even a 1.5" gap. The original Shelby's looked great with a 2" gap, but I just think the 1" gap looks best on the SN95 and S197's sleeker and more modern body styles. So, I modified the original Shelby stripe spec's to both work with a 1" gap and to work with the lines of the '05. The stripes start at 10" wide at the front bumper and up to the front of the hood, tapering to 11" at the back of the hood. They start back up 11" wide at the front of the roof and taper to 10-7/8" at the back of the roof. Then 10-5/8" at the front of the trunk, tapering to 10-1/2" at the back of the trunk and 10-1/2" down the back bumper. They are painted stripes and all panels were buffed and then cleared so you can't feel any edges. This was my most expensive mod by far... but also the one I'd least take back if I had to.

I thought about getting white. If I had, I would have gotten it with the spoiler delete and painted some Guardsman Blue stripes on it like the original '65 Shelby GT350. And of course some MRT 1/4 louvers and the Roush hood scoop.
