Sounds like a few of us are going for that '69-'70 Mach 1 look. I'm getting a hood stripe and trunk lid accent stripe installed tomorrow. Here's the before picture with the black CDC Classic chin spoiler and black spoiler on the deck lid.

What's the white thing sticking out of your roof?
Looks good (though the wheels don't really scream old school).

Looks like a car parked on the grass behind him with a car cover on it.

The striping ended up a total disaster, despite 3 attempts. My guess is the shop just didn't know what they were doing. I walked out after they removed the last attempt--they wouldn't even clean up my car afterwards!
Another shop wouldn't touch the car, saying the center crease gave them too much trouble, but recommended a body shop that does this part time. They'll paint the stripes on the hood and do the hood pins/hood lifts, repaint my black spoiler to match, paint the rear decklid, apply a narrow vinyl stripe down the sides, and repaint my CDC chin spoiler gloss black to match the black elsewhere. $500-600 estimated. He's also looking for a good wheel/tire replacement.
Next month--now I have to save.

Too funny. Sounds like the same thing that happened to me. Took 7 tries by 2 different shops to get it done right!!!! :bang: The final attempt they said the reason it came out perfect was they use 2.5 mil vinyl. The thicker the better because of the center hood ridge. 2 guys did it with the thicker stuff and it came out 100% perfect..good luck. Is this the kind of stripe you are getting?
