Ehh, not my personal taste. I think it might look better if there was more going on with the exterior. IMO it looks good on the 3D Carbon car with the Boy Racer kit on it.

Mark, did you get your stang already or is it still being built?

It's hard to say. I think it would have to depend on color and car.

I don't really car for it, I like the large back window. Maybe in person it looks better. My opinion doesn't really make much since, just a couple weeks ago I put the rear louvers on and pretty much covered my whole window. Go figure. But, like alot of people say...

Dude, if YOU like it....Do It!!

My vote's a waffle...as a standalone, not my cup of tea....as part of an exterior buildup, kinda maybe....get the feeling that this would work better on a dark color body but 3M tint all the way around on the silver might do the trick...

Ordered an 08. Silver Metallic. I'm adding Blue LeMans stripes to it. Going for a 1966 GT 350 theme.

It does help in making the car look more like a 1965-1966, but I'm just not sure how I feel about it.

I think it's one of those things you just have to see in person to decide.

A photoshop of more traditional colors.

I've always liked that piece... especially when striped as you have it shown.

I agree that it's one of things you'd need to see in person to be sure of, but I voted "yeah". I like the looks of it in pictures, it seems to slim the back end down a bit IMO.

I think you would have to see it but I voted nay. I just think it looks a bit to tacked on from the pictures. If I saw it in person though I think my opinion would probably change on it.

Not for me. The 2nd photo made me think of Mustang II (1978 from the timeline). It must be the angle.

mines VB, and trim is blacked out- so the black window edge really dont stand out much- perhaps on some colors(especially without dark tint) they might have some merit, but just not for me...

how much do they go for? That looks really cool, how it makes the window seem a ton smaller. So cool
