Question

[QUOTE=cinque35;6193127]from the '10 Mustang reveal..
GREAT PICTURES CINQUE!.
I was just comparing this front picture with my red GT's front.
Still I'm undecided between changing it or leaving it as stock, I think I will miss the red lower horizontal line on the stock one, that marks the lower part of the valance.

Thanks, I want to say total he charged me $250 to do the front, rear valances, rocker panels, tint the rear tail lights and side markers. Also the front grill and surronding area. He gave me a heck of a deal I'll get some more pics up this weekend if we dont get any snow here.

Nice. I have a rock chip to get fixed on the hood and have thought about painting the trim, now I have an excuse. Thanks for sharing the pics.

The cars look nice.. but I have to say that I prefer the panels black. Unpainted/black rockers/valences very successfully reduce the visual bulk of the car.

It's purely personal taste, of course.

To those of you having these plastic panels painted, be sure to ask your body shop guy about flex agent. I'm all but certain that the paint will crack/chip/flake without it.

lol, no i did some computer work for him as part of a trade. Turned out amazing. I'm hoping the roush side splitters will keep rock chips from occuring. But we will see.

At first I was a little worried about having this done. He did use the flex agent in the paint. I saw a Kona blue at a car show that had this done but in certain light it still looked black. I just rolled the dice and hoped it turned out good. If i would have left the california special 19's on and not have lowered it i think it would have looked horrible but with the 20's and the car lowered it doesnt look as bad as it could of if i left it at stock height.
