They installed them dry, no spray bottles, and what miniscule amounts of bubbles that appeared were smoothed out using his fingers. The boss was laying my stripes, taking phone calls, shouting orders to the helper, and BS-ing with me the whole time, and got it done in 2 hours on the nose.

Here's a tip...remove your spoiler if you're able...the deck panel too...and the GPS antenna while you're at it. That way the installer can hide his seams and cuts under the parts. My guy really appreciated the extra effort.
I might look around for some quotes. Spoiler should be easy to remove. There's no adhesive. Mine came precut in a kit though. Not sure if or how that would make difference.

Looks killer Tom! Love it.
Like I said before,...that car just begs for a tall rear spoiler. Really completes the rear end.

Washed and waxed it!
Then removed my sound tube! (Not needed extra clutter)
I also received my big brake kit for the rear, going to have 13.8" rotor to match the front soon!
Go them used from Shelby America for $200 shipped!

Thanks. I'm very happy with the new spoiler, and I love how the stripe guy treated the fake Gurney flap. Now I can run with the big dogs.

Famous last words: "I'm just gonna give 'er a quick wash and do the windows".

Yeah, right. It was pretty messy from stripe day yesterday, mainly from the solvents the striper used to remove the old wax, polishes, and sealants. As soon as I put soap on it, all the old wax jizz made itself known. It was ugly and sticky. Ended up compounding the entire car by hand. Why stop there? Tires, wheels, plastic trim, engine bay, trunk, leather. I'm too tired now to drive it.

It looks amazing after just a compounding.

Just a wash/dry job. After a week of daily driving in the rain every day, it needed some cleaning. But it stayed rather clean believe it or not. The inside of the wheels were the dirtiest by far.

Installed a color-matching radiator cover from JLT. Love how the gray wraps around the engine bay now.

I had cancelled my order for the SVE Drifts last weekend and ordered the new Dark Stainless AMR's instead. Picked them up from the US border this morning. They look good, but a fair bit darker than the SVE's. But I do like that they're staggered, as that's what I really wanted. They'll go on the car this week.

Post some pics! I've been dying to see what those look like. I've seen the DS SVEs at car shows and they're too light IMO.

I did mine on my last Mustang. You can do it.

Pouring rain here again....it has rained some everyday for 8 days now - my car has never been this dirty.

Thank goodness for a garage....I changed the oil today. I went with Motorcraft 5W-20 synthetic blend oil this time to see if the post-oil change tick shows up. I normally use Mobile 1. Also went the usual Motorcraft oil filter and swapped out the dirty Steeda CAI air filter with a clean/oiled one I had ready on the shelf.

I hadn't seen the SVE drifts in person, but in bright light in photos they almost looked silver, though the angle had a lot to do with the color they appeared. I actually REALLY liked the DS Drifts for color.

The DS AMR's look more like a high gloss gunmetal color, but that's under the soft white LED bulbs in my garage. I want to get them on the car though to properly assess the color in different lighting. I will say that when I opened the box and took the cover off, my initial gut reaction was "Wow!"
