Thanks Mark! I went all over today. I've been hunting for places to take pics. I've still got a few places I want to check out.
stripes?? nooooo...that car is perfect without stripes! Just my opinion.

Matte black supersnake stripes. It should look sweet.

ohhh ok...I thought you meant white shelby stripes like everyone else seems to have. Matte black should look nice. One of my friends with a 2013 black GT has flat black stripes and they look pretty good.

Arin approves of this plan

Though I may be a bit partial to super snake striping

Took a few pics at the Cathedral of St. Paul this afternoon. Only had my p&s with me, so not the best.

Made an appointment to get the windows tinted next thursday. Can't decide on what to get though. Legal limit is 50% which I had on my '02 and it was barely noticeable. I'd like to go 35% but I don't want to get pulled over for it (haven't been once in my 9.5 years of driving! *Knock on wood*). I know it's not that dark, but I've heard the state troopers are super picky. I was also thinking of possibly doing 35% on the sides and 50% on the rear. I'm not sure how it would look, but I have the front windows rolled down most the time anyways and I feel like I'd most likely get pulled over after being tailed (which has happened). Just brainstorming here. Any thoughts are welcome!

Try to find a shop that has the photochromic tint. Mine are 45% but gets 8-10% darker in direct sunlight. It's a nice "in between" shade. I didn't want to go dark this time.

Finding a place to tint around here is hard enough. I doubt anyone actually has it. :/

If you're thinking about doing the stripes yourself then you should do the tint yourself too. Same principle, and can probably find precut tint on eBay. They had it for our truck. Just FYI.

Hit 5000 miles yesterday. Took forever for my camera to focus. Can't wait to get a new phone this summer.

Mustang goes in for tint tomorrow afternoon. I'm leaning towards going with 35%. We'll see what actually happens when the time comes.

What about the guy with the green Roush that I love? I think hes only got about a thousand miles on his.

Yeah I'd go with 35%....anything lighter and you might as well just not tint it at all. I don't think you'd get pulled over with 35%. It's honestly not that dark. Good luck with your decision!

I went with 35% for the same reasons.
