Whewww.....well this took almost all day. If you're the least bit OCD or don't have a lot of patience, don't try this at home! The wide stripes are a bigger challenge due to the size and car curvatures. Took a lot of massaging to get everything to lay right. The kit was cut perfectly though and you end up doing the rear in 6 sections. Roof was the toughest. I'm sure the narrow stripes would be much easier to work with as well as having a second set of hands to help!

Killer job, Steve! (I'm still planning to get blue stripes!!) Too bad you can't show both the stripes AND the siiick powder-coated Steeda CAI at the same time. Maybe time for a phantom image/trick photography?

Yea!! My stripes are getting closer, and $179 is bargainacious! Since I have little eyesight or patience left for tedious work, I now need to check with my neighbor who does graphics to see what he'll charge me to do a professional install.

Steve the color on those gray stripes looks great. And they're aligned right. But I still think vinyl stripes look like crap. The white border where the vinyl stops just shy of the window/weatherseal/rear diffuser/trunklid/faux gascap looks so bad. They would look SOOOO much better painted on. Or at least use a custom vinyl shop that will cut them all the way to the window/bumper lines and not a precut kit.
Lastly, I think they'd look a lot better if you stopped them either right before, or at the spoiler. You abbreviated them on the hood bulge, the OCD in me is saying it's wrong to go all the way down with the rear stripes.....
Sorry to nitpick, but JMO. The color and the stripe pattern look totally awesome, just unfinished.
OP, what are your plans for wheels? If you do silver or black or gray wheels, I'd have the stripes match that color!

Back to square one.

Dumb question maybe, but can't you use the coupe ones and just not use the roof part? You might have to trim around the rear window area, but at least you'd get the stripes you want.
#56
Yeah...Exactly. Dunno if the rear deck shape is any different, but you'll have plenty of material to fit it. The top rear deck is the easiest part.....Everything else is the same. .This is not a problem, nor even a Macgyver challenge!

BTW, no pics but today I saw THE most egregious "Wannabe" stripe job: a 2002-ish SN95 GT with two big wide black stripes about 10 inches apart going across the top, "SHELBY" in HUGE letters across the top of the windshield, "GT350" in large, generic-looking lettering (like you'd see on the side of a mailbox) in the black side stripes, and then "SHELBY" across the rear bumper in black generic-looking letters, just above the stock molded "Mustang GT" recessed in the plastic bumper (if it had at least been a Cobra, it would have said "Cobra" across the back instead of "Mustang GT" right?). There also was "Supercharged" lettering on it, but I kind of doubt that since the rest of the car was so asinine.

I thought of that and want to confirm with a local installer first, before I plunk down any money. It seems possible to me, but I may be overlooking something having not installed large decals before. Shoot, I have trouble getting even small ones applied without ait bubbles in them, so obviously I am helpless.
