Great job sweating the details! Those 2013 rear valances only look good with the insert painted black. I don't understand why Ford did not do them all that way.

LeMans stripes, not Shelby stripes.

They look really good.

That looks great. I'm debating on getting stripes but I'm still up in the air.

Both, anytime you modify any exterior lighting in Calif. it's illegal. I'm a retired LEO.

Stripes look great. White is one of those colours that needs the stripes to break it up IMO

Further reason I'm glad I don't live in California. Sure is nice to visit though.

Nice car (and it does look better with the lower rear valance painted black), but technically, they're "Le Mans" stripes - not "Shelby" stripes. (I'm a programmer, and I'm paid to be pedantic).
