Thanks Earl. Unfortunately due to circumstances I could not see the car at the dealership so it is arriving by a carrier in about 20min. So excited yo see it for the first time.

On a second note, does anyone have the dimensions on the factory stripes, width and spacing? Thank you
Brian.

Actually took delivery on the 18th, last minute financing change necessitated the delay. Life and work have been getting in the way ever since so I have unfortunately not had a lot of time to enjoy the car or put it through the much needed detailing paces yet. That being said I wanted to share a few more photos of the car. I have to say, this car is so darn awesome. I DO NOT miss my GT350 or the manual transmission!

Picked her up yesterday. 250 mile trip. I told the dealership not to touch the car, don't wash it, don't install anything, don't even look at it....and quite literally they didn't, me and my brother unwrapped it ourselves in the dealer bay, it was great. Dealership was Amazing, couldn't have went any smoother. Drove it for 4 hrs home without issue, was actually better/smoother ride than i had anticipated (i have not EVER been in an S550). Now the fun begins. Ordered wheels today, so anyone looking for stockies i will have a set of stock wheels/tires within 4-6 weeks.

Congrats, nice color, I always was a red guy. As for your offer of rim and tires in 4-6 weeks. I might take you up on that. I always like having a spare set, I had gotten a spare set for my '16 Cali Special that someone was selling a full set for the same reason. PM me what you would want for them.

I also might be in the market for an extra set. Keep me updated if you do no sell them.

Looks fabulous. Is that velocity blue or FPB? If velocity blue, mine will be a twin. I am not a big fan of stripes either. Also did not order stripes with associated delay

Yes it is VB. However I will be adding the stripes for the full Shelby look.

Vern & Jon: Stripes...ah yes. Honestly, being a waxer <grin> and lover of gorgeously painted things like cars, <bigger grin> I can see both sides...with and without stripes.

But as you said, Jon, and I agree...the Mustang isn't a Shelby Mustang without stripes. I wonder what the folks at SA would say...interesting thought. I don't believe they've ever produced or modified a Mustang and, called it a Shelby, that didn't have stripes but as usual, I could be way off base on that.

Bottom line is, it comes down to personal preference like so many other things in life. The good news is, the car looks great either way.
