Took some pics the other evening... '10 V6 Premium w/Pony package, Magnaflow cat-back dual kit, and 'custom' (as in non-Ford) striping. I'm pricing out having them painted now, probably more like actual Ford stripes with two wide black, but with red in the middle and outside to cover approximately the same area as what's covered now... maybe a little less.

 

If you have them painted, have them go all the way to the lower bumper edges. Also, what are your plans for the sidestripes? Lastly, I think either the MCA grille or Roush black billet grille (with tribar pony in the same spot as the MCA grille) would really complement your stripes!

 

Good point on the MCA grille.

I think I'll put a 1/8 red to border the side stripes. Those will stay vinyl.

 

Sounds good buddy. You can get the MCA grille from KC on here...click my sig for his info.

Btw, your front end would look SO much better without the front plate. Is it required in Texas? Either way, while it's at the body shop, I'd have them remove it and fill the holes in the bumper. Then attach it to the lower grille with the kit that Doug put together on his '11 MCA. I think the'10+ cars would look good with the plate offset to the left, although some people don't care for that look. The plate offset to the left would also complement the MCA grille with the pony on the left...

 

'Mandatory' in Texas... but I've been seeing them there for so long a car looks naked without one to me. Never really understood why folks hate them so much.
