Are you talking about the facny California Special on the quarter panel? IMO, looks terrible. It reminds me of this really nice brand new Mercedes Benz I saw once where the owner had stenciled in fancy letters "A Touch of Class". He ruined any class the Merc had by putting that on.

NO I was talking about the vinyl stripe along the trunk of the car. I think the logo is alittle big for the car.

Can't remember which one or if both make it but I know for sure either graphics-express or Baltimore street mods have that design.

I believe she is having graphic-express make the stripe. They have a similar stripe but not this one.

Really?? I called those C-suckers yesterday about making a custom stripe and I got cut off with a "NO we don't make custom stripes." before finishing my sentence.

Yeah I think his prices are high because he has Ford approval and has to give them a cut.

The trunk area needs something there it is a little plain to me. I think if the made the car with the correct spoiler then the stripe could go along the edge of the spoiler like the old GT/CS stripe does.

I agree with you on the little plain part, but not a stripe. The stock spoiler doesn't go with the CS. That is the only part I didn't like about the CS. It should have had a spoiler like the GT500 or similar.

It would have been nice to have the GT500 wing but I am sure that is an exclusive GT500 factory item....It pains but to have to shell out 400 - 500 for a new wing plus paint.

Talking Rear Stripe

Leo,

Turn my car around and show them how the rear aviator looks. It's got the same Mach 1 type stripe with the MUSTANG on the left side in all caps or you can have it plain.

Also remember to make sure you wash my car before you return it, last time it was low on gas and dirty.

No striping or Mustang lettering on my rear. Also no rear window louver. I'd perfer to call my car the hot younger sister of yours.
