Just like the guy plastidipping his car, I might need a flame shield for this.



That was one of the least tron/ricer pics I could find. I'm sort of frustrated at my color choice of magnetic. It looks amazing in the daytime, but at night, it doesn't/can't stand out cause it's too dark. meanwhile, every white bimmer, mustang, mercedes, etc, looks decent at night.

I'm putting matte black with orange pinstripes on to make it pop more, but if that's not enough, I'm considering this. Nowhere near as much as the pic though. I couldn't find any pics on google for a mustang. Anyone try this? thoughts on my dilemma?

I think i would've really liked orange or white ):

:tsk: Looks like a grandpa who wants to make sure he's seen at night to me. I see that here they go to walmart and plaster their cars with reflective tape.

It can be done , just don't overdo it otherwise it will look bad, 3M makes a caliper reflective vynil coating which you can use to add accents, here is an example of what can be done in pic, I'm also trying to figure out how to put some orange accents into my metallic as well.

Hmm cool. let me know what you end up doing! is metallic very similar to magnetic?

i'm thinking orange brakes, black wheels with an orange lip, orange emblems. orange/black side stripes possibly too.

orange hood vents might be a bit too rice.

The '69 Shelby's had a reflective side stripe. I've thought about some of the javelin type side stripe for mine in reflective tape.

I have a magnetic but only did reflective vinyl on my wheels. It was cool for 2 weeks, then I removed it

Try looking for something similar to the Boss 302 and the reflective decals on the '13 models.



The reflective decal goes white/silver at night and black during the day.

Reflective vinyl, if done right, does look pretty bad ass. That said, it is a pretty decent pain in the ass to remove if ever you decide to. Installing it can be challenging, too. The stuff isn't nearly as user friendly as regular vinyl.

Ditto! It's very thick and can crack easy if it gets a little old.
