I was in South Charlotte today coaching. Love that area.
My stripes are indeed painted, and are 10" wide tapered (just like OEM Shelby stripes). Gap is 1.25".
Thanks for the comments guys. I love the way it turned out.

Body Shop (car went in this morning):
Installation of all parts (including springs as they have a specialist guy there).
Painting of all parts (including already black Rocker Panels, Air-Splitter and lower part of Shelby Bumper), I'm also painting the Mirrors and Mirror Bases, Antenna Base to color code to the car which is Performance White. Obviously prepping parts, removal of front and rear glass as I am painting on Red Super Snake Stripes (1in stripe/1in gap/14in stripe/1in gap/ 1in stripe) and I want the stripes right up to the glass moulding. Painting of my factory GT style spoiler as I'm not sure if that will look better. Guy has a specialist coming in to lay stripes and all will be clear coated.

Grand Total $8761.00 (plus/minus odd cents)

I personally would spend the money of what a whipple costs on a good solid suspension, the power that blower will add is great for power, burnouts and looks but take a Shelby GT 500 on a track (not a drag strip obviously) and I think a Rousch or similar prepped suspension on a good solid GT Mustang will walk all over it.

Okay I'm British but these guys don't mess around with their reviews....

* By the way to anybody reading this, doing business with kevin was not only as easy as ABC but he is very reliable, gives great advice and is a pleasure to talk to. He even knows my British slang ha ha

So my GT is in the body shop. Finally. Went to view it yesterday as they wanted me to see how the parts lined up etc. and to give them the thumbs up.
Shelby Super Snake Hood needed some shimming on one side more than the other and needs some parts of the hood where it meets the front shaved down a little for a really good alignment, makes you wonder why I paid $300 more for the prepped version. Would have thought that the Shelby Super Snake Hood would be a great fit out of the box but obviously not.
They have a guy coming in on the 1st to lay down the stripes, so I'm excited lol
