Front of the car looks great! Not so sure about the rest of it, though. :D

I also purchased my car from a dealer in OK, near Tulsa. They were fantastic as well.

I loved the drive back, and the car was amazing.

Congratulations, and thanks for the write-up.

......and the black stripes . :thumbsup:

BTW, how long did it take you to tape the car ? Congrats on the nice ride.
A lot longer than expected, but I was OCD with it. Somewhere around 3 or 4 hours. I had 2" strips for the large areas and 1/2" strips for the edges and narrow corners.

If I was buying a 2017, I would have trouble deciding between those 2 colors as well.

You may have started an new "thing" with the yellow front end! haha. enjoy
I got the idea from ITLRUN's thread. 3M only makes automotive masking tape in yellow and blue! I found some black masking tape on amazon by a company called ProTape, but I wasn't confident enough to put it directly on the paint. I ended up using it on the mirrors and front molding pieces and it did not leave any residue.

Loving the Race Red with white OTT - that color scheme was number one when Ford brought back the GT500 in 2007. Looks great on the GT350 - haven't seen too many on here.

After flip flopping between every colorway, I am very happy with my choice. That 2007 GT500 definitely stuck in my mind as well. I most likely would have went Red with Black stripes if the black stripes did not have the white outline. It always bothered me for whatever reason.

Beautiful car and a fantastic writeup. Congratulations!
Thank you
