It's just the pony package grille. I plasti dipped it. It's liquid rubber that I can peel off whenever. I also did my fuel door and my rear badge.

That looks really good and I'm not the biggest fan of stripes. It's subtle. I dig it!

Oh, no, it was just simple and it made a huge difference with it's exterior appearance.

I've yet to put the rest of the stripe on on my front bumper. Since my dad and I are installing these ourselves, we're just doing them in sections. It's taken 11hrs so far.

Thanks for all the positive comments!

Good stuff, it looks good. I have an alloy gt an have been wanting to get stripes since I bought the car back in September. How is the installation going? I see its taking awhile but its feasible? I've been discussing this with my dad lately about whether we can do it or if I should have someone do it.

I was looking at getting the silver gt500 stripes.

It's definitely a feasible task to take on and do it yourself. I spent another 3hrs today doing the rest of the front bumper and I only have about another hours worth of work to do before I'll be done. I really did not wanna spend $300 to have someone install them, and even after the 15hrs of total time that it took to do them myself, I still don't think it's worth it to have them installed by someone else. I really, REALLY like the look of these stripes. From one angle you can't see them, and then the next angle you can. They're very subtle on alloys and that's what I love about them. When the sun is up high during the day, the almost reflect silverish. I'll put up more pictures of them tomorrow for you.

Good luck,
Hunter

Awesome, I think I'll order them. Now I'm looking at your pics on my phone but, are you doing the stripes all the way down to the bottom of the bumpers? Also did you go over your spoiler. Also what did you do for the windshield washer ejectors? Did you cut holes in beforehand after lining them up? Thanks lol

I did go all the way down the bumpers and I went over my spoiler as well. You pop out your windshield washer sprayer and then once your stripe is on nice and tight you just poke a little hole through your stripe where the sprayers go and press them back into place. You do not poke holes in them before laying them down.
