Ford Racing used this car for the cover of their 2005 catalog. I took the catalog to a custom paint and body shop and said, do this. They did and it looks great.

Let's see your stripes. How much did they cost? Paint or tape?

This striping really changed the car and the amount of attention it gets.

So did the Cragar SS with spinner caps.



Let me start it out by showing mine.

Very nice car. You will find it more appropriate to post your pictures here

This is in the exterior modication section of the 2005+ area.

I would move it for you but am not a moderator in this forum area.

Great looking car, by the way!

That is gorgeous!!! I've decided not to stripe right away. I plan on keeping the car for a long long time, so it may happen in the future. Seeing your car reinforces how good they look striped.

Hey I wanted the general Mustang guys to see these not putting it into the mods forums.

This is why I started this topic here. Dude quit moving the stuff.

If you posted in the proper spot it would not get moved. You posted an exterior mod thread, therefore it belongs in the exterior mod section. Anyway, as I said, there is already a topic on this. I know you are new to the site. You will get use to it eventually.

Dude, quit starting useless threads. There are too many threads on here as it is, to be making copies of ones that already exist. You have a nice car (other than the fact that you copied your colors/stripes from someone else), but you have to be pretty conceited to start this thread in the general mustang forum just to get more people to see your car. That's what the Gallery is for. There are plenty of threads here to post all the pics you want. But to start a brand new thread (copying another one, no less) to post pics of your car (which it's not like those stripes are new- I saw pics of your car 2 weeks ago) is a bit over the top, don't you think?

I hope that stands for Good For You. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that it does.

Exactly Your car looks great! Please excuse my impropriety, I'm new to this site. I just wanted to see a bunch of stripers.

It looks like you did yours right. Good job.

Thank you and your car is beautiful too!

But... I have to agree with Ian and John, once you get used to the site you will see, makes it easier to find stuff if we keep it in the same catagory. I understand why you wanted it in in the general forum and I've done that myself when I shouldn't have but technically should go in the stripes thread. I don't think they would have made such a big deal out of it if you didn't come back at them like you did. Now no more

I just looked at your gallery and I like what you did to your GT. Did you replace the GT badge with the pony badge? The pony badge is much more ornate.

The car looks clean without a spoiler.

Hey, we are all friends here. Yes, I replaced them with the ponies. And I like it without a spoiler too... but I still gotta go with the ducktail.
