Hey, thanks for that info. I'm going to get some today. Won't be able to use it yet but I'll have it ready to go. I've used their Zipwax soap for years but never thought of the Ice. Here on the coast there's almost always a coastal seamist in the air. I usually have to wait until the Windex won't clean the windows and then wash the car and start over again.

I'd have to measure them, but I think they're close to 11 inches in the back and 9 inches in the front (due to the tapering required to make them look the same with from the front of the car).

I asked for 10-inch stripes. I think the hood required a bit more taper than a OEM hod would have.

Sorry, John. I wasn't paying attention. Didn't mean to jump into your question to JSimmons.

Hey...no foul on you part! Question asked and answered. Now that I look at his stripes I can see the taper in them. It appears to my eye the stripes are not tapered on the '13's. My ride is going in this afternoon to get the stripes painted on and cleared over. Big job since the front and rear facia's have to come off, hood vents removed (And will get painted same color as the stripes), the windshield molding has to be roped back and the roof moldings have to be removed. Makes me nervous to have all that done to a brand spanking new car but these guys do a lot of super nice custom work and will not skimp. They also give their work a lifetime guarantee. Owner said with a smile on his face, "If you want an Abbra quality job at an Abbra price...best take your chances with your new car and bring it to them." Um...I'm OK with all that has to be done for it to be done right! Price is an eye popper for for "Lipstick and rouge" verses hard parts that add performance...but it's gotta look the part too!

John

PS: love your tag line that you can't believe the silver pony is yours. I keep saying the same thing every morning I open the door to the garage...Can't believe that beast is mine!

I love it

Stripes don't work on the factory hood but the aftermarket hood stripes are nice IMO

I really think the stock hood looked a lot better. That's just my opinion.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

2013 GT Premium - Candy Apple Red

I think I posted these pics in another thread, but here they are again.

Tomorrow, the "clear bra" guy is coming to my home to install on hood, front bumper, rocker panels behind each wheel and inside the doors - just below the trim plates, side view mirrors, and head lights.. I have used this guy before and he does great work and the "plastic" is nearly invisible and never turns yellow. If you wants pics, after install, I can upload. Just ask.

I hope they make the hood for the 2013, but where we can use the stock heat ducts.

Thanks. I think it really adds to the vehicle. It's to bad, Ford does not allow different stripe install at the factory. It would be so much easier to just arrive "ready to go" from the factory.

You don't need the stock heat extractors because the hood has its own.
