Are your backup lights worthless now?

Deserving of a MOTM nomination for sure.

The only thing I'd change is the stickers and maybe some pony center caps instead of the AM ones if they even make them for those wheels.


This.

VERY tastefully done!

This thread has inspired me to buy a trufiber hood for my mustang. That hood is amazing! But, from the pics, and this might just be the light, it doesn't look like the paint matches the color of the car. If you look at the grill surround and the lip of the hood, they look totally different. The hood looks pink-ish.

Question for the op. how much did you spend on painting the hood? I just purchased a similar hood and I'm looking into the painting process. Did they have to blend the paint into the fenders? I love what you have done to this car, it looks great man!

the color difference is due to the light and the fact that my hood eats alot of bugs because of my commute. the hood was blended with the fenders. the grill surround was painted by a different shop and you have to remember the fact that the grill surround is plastic so paint difference is something to be expected

Yeah I figured it was the light. How much was it to paint?

Yeah... me too. It pretty wells ruins everything else he did, in my opinion and makes him look like an adolescent idiot. And if I was a hot, non fat woman, just seeing that would rule him out.

I don't like the stickers, and I agree that hot chicks would never give him the time of day after seeing the stickers, but...it doesn't ruin anything he has done to his car.

This. That sticker was first used by the slammed VW and mini truck guys. The current VW/fitment guys are bringing it back. On some cars, I think the sassy sticker motif fits - VWs, old school imports, mini trucks, but not Mustangs. I am also a fan of combining styling elements from different car enthusiast communities, but I've grown out of the sticker phase.

I think a LOT of women wouldn't give him the time of day because of it. Maybe 'ruin' was a poor choice of words... but if I'd seen that sticker first I wouldn't have noticed anything else about the car. As they say, to each his own.

We Harley riders like to put those kind of stickers on our helmets - but never on our bikes. I think it is a matter of the message from the sticker distracting from the statement being made by the car (or bike).

I think ALL women would be offended by that. But...the hot ones are the ones the op would care about I would hope.

OP... What inspired you to put the stickers on? Was it the deep heritage that one guy schooled us on? Or did you have a bad experience taking a fat chick home after a blind date?
