They're not chrome. The piece has a satin Aluminum look.

Like this



So they will be a bright accent but not the sparkle mirror shine of chrome.

I've been testing the look with PS.

 

That's what Ford should have done with the back window to begin with!

Has anyone installed the Scott Drake pieces? Would love to see it.

 

I just got mine in two days ago, installed yesterday, quick and easy. Here are some pics from different angles. It stands out. It gives a finished look.

I can understand why you would want to see it installed, the only pics vendors show are either of the product itself or a close up of the installed product. To get a real appreciation of the product, you have to see it in person or next best in an overall photo.

I checked out TMS forum pictures for 1966 Mustang to get an idea (this is where these trims were inspired from).

 

Can a member who has done the MUSTANG across the decklid give some information as far as spacing and so forth. I have the lettering but can not find any actual photos to use for spacing and reference. Thanks

 

That is one beautiful car!!!

 

Here are two other pics of the SD pieces. Wasn't as impressed when I saw them in person. Also since mine is a year round car not sure they would stand up to freezing rain and ice here in PA with the way they are fitted.

 

LBJay, I like how they accent your tails, and side markers. They do blend in very nicely.

 

Thanks but that's not my Vista Blue in the pic. It's one from the Pony Trails Run.

Seeing them on that car convinced me I didn't want them.

 

I have not actually done it. There was a post somewhere on TMS that had the following link:

http://www.cherod.com/mustang/HowTo/...ttr_tp_jpg.htm

He was using 5 7/8", which looks (just as an example) like:

Home page is: http://www.cherod.com/mustang/

Suggest looking at the TMS timeline for approximate separation of the letters. Better yet, as you indicate, have someone who actually did it to let you know.
Good luck.

 

OK, since I posted my last photos of some ideas I've done on my own car, I've made some changes. The louvers are now the Silver Horse Racing replacement louvers, and my tires are Nitto Redlines, and the wheels are Konig Beyonds. I don't have a center cap solution on them yet, but rest assured that I will by the end of the week :-)

with those rims and tires, your car looks like a "hot wheels" toy. i never get tired of looking at your car. looks good.

 

+1. I never get bored. Keep up the good work. I hope to be around the level of detail you've put in your car by the end of the summer. Untill then

 

Thanks for the compliments. I have formulated a solution for the center caps on the wheels. I'll be going with red center caps from the 66 GT wheels. The JB Weld is setting up tonight, so they'll be on tomorrow. I'll take a few pics in the morning.

Thanks Spirit, I will post some results this week. I am also about to install my GTA's and FRPP X-pipe in the morning here.

 

....For a cheap mod that really gives the retro look, I'd go for the M U S T A N G letters on the back....

.... and sides too. This is my wife's V6...

 

Willie, this is exactly what I am doing. I have the lettering and they are from a manufacture who just about makes them appear factory. They are block style and I think they will tie my rearend together.

 

nice!

 

Very nice. I am contemplating the deck lid lettering.
