13-14 GT/CS hood stripe removal
 

Anyone remove the hood stripes from their CS? Id like to see some pics of a black CS without the hood stripes.

I think I want to pull mine but would like to see a picture if someone has done it.

Ask and ye shall receive!

What louvers are those?

What hood stripes are you guys talking about? I did not notice any on a black or white C/S

Looks factory...

I got the louvers from Mustang Depot. Prepainted and attach to the glass and not the paint.

The hood stripes run along the cowl line of the hood and fade like the side stripes do. Kinda like large hood spears.

NICE.... I relly love that front end without the Pony in the grill !!!

Was it hard to remove ?

Anything special to getting them off or just grab and yank? Gathering info in case I want to go with a different color stripe set than the black on my Sterling Gray.

Removing Stripes
 

You can try uping a hair dryer and then slowly pull them off. A friend of mine just removed his decals from the back of his 2011 GT CS using this technique.

A shop that does wraps or tints can do it with a steamer they have.

This should not be an issue for you. Just noting that an installer told me that if a car has been repainted removing the vinyl can possibly lift the paint!.

The post of the black GT CS with stripes removed really looks nice.

Pressure washer took mine off :(

Not hard to remove at all, but you need pretty small hands. Just two clips holding it on.

Warm them up first. Sun or hair dryer. Just to soften the adhesive. then wax or clay bar to get any residue off.

I was thinking of removing mine as well, but I am superstitious and feel like they give me special powers.

never even crossed my mind. The CS is an appearance package. Why pay the extra money then remove what makes it look like a CS ?

There is SO much more that makes it look like a CS than just the stripes. I bought a CS mainly for the wheels, front bumper/grill, Fog light placement, rear spoiler, etc.

Personally I never really liked the stripes for the CS, but it wasn't a deal breaker. I knew from the start that I was going to remove them and replace them with something a bit...bolder.

Here is what I did on my '14

Removed all the factory stripes and added something a little more custom

I also added some body stripes.

That's cool. Where did you get the hood stripe from?

I have toyed with the idea of adding red GT500 stripes on my black CS but they would clash with the silver stripes. What you have might work with red racing stripes.
