My GT has earned its stripes...and brake rotors

Just got my set of charcoal metallic stripes from Baltimore Street Mods installed yesterday. Aaron from Flawless Designs in El Cajon, CA did an awesome job with them. Much better than when the car was just plain black. Also just had new Power Stop Cross Drilled & Slotted brake rotors installed last week, which my wife had bought me for my birthday. She's such a good wife.

Here's a few more after I washed the car today. The rocker stripes show up a lot better when the sun is out.

Yes that's correct mrp. Geez what a small world...... Pittsburgh is such a great town. I'm thankful that I live so close to it.
Please take care of yourself mrp and thank you for the compliment on my car. Much appreciated Sir.
All My Best.-------Bill ( PS, I'm jealous that you live in LaJolla )

Yeah, I was born there and lived there for most of my life. Definitely like living in SoCal a lot more, but PA will always be home. The only thing that sucks here is the living costs...but it's worth it when you live 5 minutes from the ocean, haha.

Didn't see this till just now, looks great! I like that you chose a more subtle color than white or bright silver or something. Now all it needs is a gt500 spoiler!

Haha, thanks Kevin! I do like the GT500 spoiler, but I think I do like the stock GT spoiler just a little bit more. It's too hard for me to decide, so I just left it the same for now. I'd have to actually see it on my car in person first...and that would be a bit too much of a hassle.

Thanks guys! An added bonus is that the car is easier to wash now as well. The stripes don't get nearly as dirty looking as the black paint of the car, haha.

Nice! I'm sure it looks great. I was thinking about red stripes for a while, but decided on the charcoal metallic in the end. I love how the GT500 looks in black with red stripes.
