I just installed a set of Graphic Express side stripes. My first time ever doing any vinyl work. It was really easy, and I think it turned out well. I always have liked the Saleen style slash/fade look, and this help breaks up the monotone look of the car. Next, I might try installing their Lemans stripe kit considering my local shop wants $700 for the vinyl and install, where I can get it for them and do it myself for under $200.

I expect to get some flack from the purists, saying I'm making it look like a Saleen. But hey, I like the look. And one day, I WILL have a Series VI under the hood, just got save up, sell a kindey, something...

Let me know what you think.

I like it. Nice understated stripe. Sets you apart from the crowd, but doesn't holler "Look at me!".

"Different" is good. Not a Saleen wanna-be at all.

Did it again. My girlfriend liked mine so much, she had some made at a local shop to put on hers. Or should I say, for me to put on.

What d'ya think?

I was thinking maybe the MUSTANG GT on the side was "GT" overkill with the GT emblem as well, but I still get asked almost every day if it is a GT, so I guess it's not as noticeable as I think it is.
