Just finished installing stripes. I only had to install front and rear bumper, thats 4 pieces and it took me 4 hours. OMG I hate stripes, and I never want to do them again!!! Also got the blackout lenses and they are removable. Coolest thing is I removed front license bracket to install stripes, and the stripes covered the holes. So no more front bracket, I'll have to figure some way to display license plate, but my pics will look better.

It was 9:30 when I finished so I ran over to local church parking lot. All I can say is it looks sinister. If Darth Vader drove a car, this would be it.

A few more and I apologize if they are blurry, had to use night time portrait setting and it keeps the shutter open longer. Guess I couldn't keep still.

I'll get much better pics tomorrow. I suck at the night pictures thing. It actually looks better than these pictures show. And I am actually done with exterior mods with the exception of some brake vents and piaa lights in the lower grille, if Shelby ever makes the **** things they've advertised for over a year now.

gary that looks absolutely incredible!! If mine were going to be black, I'd want it to look like that

I'll look around, but there's a front liscence plate bracket that doesnt require drilling, though I'm not sure if it works with the GT/CS front bumper

Tires are BFGoodrich KDW NT's. They have a kick *** tread pattern on them. And are very sticky.

I've got another project in mind. I know I've mentioned this before, but I 'm going to Austin this weeked to take a look at this Bronco. I've got the green light from my wife for this one. It's got 351 windsor and it'll be nice to actually work on a car I can get under without jacking it up 14" in the air.

I'll want to repaint it eventually. I'm thinking DHG all over and redoing it with a black interior. This will be a very long term project, but fun to drive while I've got it. I may just use it as a daily driver.

Plus if I get this, I think I can still swing the Supercharger in early November.
