I would assume it's okay when polishing to put the zaino on the vinyl as well?

I'm not sure about that myself. I know that I'll let it 'air out' for another week or two before thinking about laying down some Z on it.

Reason that I'm not sure is the fade appears to be like a dot matrix print and I'm not sure how it'll react to polish.

Want to give it a try and let us know?

Yeah, it's a very thin print. My fingerprints are all over mine because I was impatient and tried to remove some bubbles the day after the install.

Soon to have Black Fading Stripes

I just ordered one of the remaining black sets for my wife's Torch Red stang. I will be installing GT take-off front bumper (including grill w/fogs), rear bumper and painted rockers in the next week, so I figure the existing pearl gold pony package stripes just won't look right any more. I will be installing the black fading stripes low, like TacoBill's and Icemant180's.

Fading Black Lowers on Torch Red

Finally got to work some on my wife's car. So far I have added the GT rear bumper, painted rockers and black fading stripe. Her V6 Pony Package is starting to look really sharp . I still need to install the GT front bumper, grill and fogs. Oh, and I still need to hook up her dual exhaust.

This more of a frontal shot. She's a Work In Progress. The V6 front bumper and Pony Grill are soon being replaced with a GT take-offs. No plans to put rally stripes on her. That's my 05 GT in the background.

I'm sorry, I don't. I have a few more white sets coming in (soon hopefully) and after that, I'm done. Unless I start producing them myself (and I don't have the money to invest), there's no profit in it, and I don't like relying on other shops to produce them on time, and with good quality. Lucked out on quality, but time was terrible with the shop that did these.

Sad news Steve...

When someone in the future inquires about the fading rocker stripes on my car (and they will!), I'll tell them that some cool dude from East Moline, IL had just a few sets custom made and that I was fortunate enough to get a set.

I really appreciate your time, money and effort in heading this project from it's photoshop inception to reality, thank you.

Well thank you all for buying them so I didn't lose all my money!

Only one person had a bad experience, to my knowledge. The last set I sold had an adhesion problem, and he did receive a partial refund. I'm so glad that most had a great experience. I really would like to be able to offer them, and in many styles and colors, but I just don't have the $2k-$4k or so to put out there for equipment.

Thumbs up Thanks Steve !!!

I have not installed mine as yet, waiting for a few items for my body kit to be painted and installed.

But the positive comments from everyone, and the install pics look great !!! I have no worries.

here is an initial look at the beginning of my body mods:

I have since installed the GT front bumper & fogs and the dual exhaust. I used a MAC Prochamber that installs just behind the cats. The remainder of the exhaust is 100% GT takeoffs, including the driver's side mid-pipe from my 05 GT. Now I just need to take more pictures. The car looks fantastic with the fading stripes.

Just contact them and tell them you want it cut for use on the rocker instead of the center.

That price is ridiculous. Talk to Marcus Keeler on Mustang Forums. He'll hook you up.
