Did you install the vinyl kit yourself or have it professionally done? Any issues?

What is going on with this car? You can barely even tell it's a CS anymore.

I had it done locally by a guy that does all the vinyl work in town for the Dealerships.

99% of the people out there don't even know what is on the CS other than the factory stripes say it.

I know it's not for everyone, and I even toyed with not posting pics because I knew the "purists" can be very brutal.

Don't fret bro. Opinions are like ********, everyone has them. As long as you like your stripes, that's all that matters. Mustangs are probably the most customized cars ever built. So don't anyone dictate your style!

p.s. I think your car looks pretty **** sick!

And still welcome them all. I believe that all of my responses were respectful, although I will be happy to debate my choices and lay out my own opinions.

Very bold sir. Maybe too much for me since we have the same car. However, I respect your desire to be different and think outside the box. In fact the more I look at the cooler it becomes. The sides are a little much but the top is ****!n schweet.

What about narrowing them on top of the actual decklid instead of on the back?

Sorry if I came across as an ***, didn't mean to be. Everyone has their opinions and are free to express them. Just saying if he likes it then great. I believe our cars are an expression of ourselves.

Not defensive, just quick to defend our own style! =) it's all good bros!

Dirty, you didn't come across wrong, nor did anyone that expressed their opinions.

I wouldn't have asked for opinions if I didn't want them. Most of them are similar to my own thoughts anyway, especially on the side stripes.

SSSSOOOO - keep the opinions coming, you won't hurt my delicate feelings...

Have to agree the sides don't work, and definitely don't like the RS 50 on the hood. But the rest isn't bad at all. Definitely will get you noticed

Yeah, "noticed" is not a problem. Good or bad, I'm actually getting people just walking down the street pointing and waving. it also forced me to attach my front license plate because I was getting the wrong kind of notice.... Luckily I figured out a no drill into your bumper option for that.

Yeah, I'm getting pretty much rave reviews in person, but so far it's about 50/50 with the online community. It's about what I expected to be honest - forum folks are much more forthcoming and honest with opinions. It's why I asked for them.

Yes we are, especially mustang forums. But if you're happy man that's all that matters. It's your car and your $ in the end

I think that would look really good with nothing on the side anywhere. Just the stripes going from front to rear
