Undecided on adding stripes.

[LSchicago]

Started installing the Matte black with gloss silver. I'm not going to install the roof stripes, just front and rear stripes. Now if we could just get some sun in Illinois!

Having someone else install them?

Yeah - I did the hood stripes and it was rough - took a lot to get them right. They were almost perfect. I’ve decided I want a pro to do it.

I tried it surely isn’t simple and I’d likely obsess on all the mistakes I’d made.

How much for the install?

Not sure but the guy said about 3 hours at I think 50 per hour.

Not bad at all. I would expect 4 hours total, but I don't do them every day.

I got a couple more pics after lunch. In the sun the Matte Black matches the SVE gunmetal gray wheels. In the shade they look black.

I would go white with a black pinstripe.

NVM I see you got them! Looks sweet!

I'm not going to stripe the black roof (Black accent package) But I'm torn whether I should stripe the black spoiler (standard GT)?

You should try it and see if you like it. They come off pretty easily as my hood stripes just peeled right off — if you don’t like them.

Make sure you guys take real good care of them. My normally garage kept mustang had to sit outside for last 2 weeks. Had a storm come through and drop some leaves on the car. The next day the sun baked the leaves into the vinyl and they’re now junk. The leaves etched right into the vinyl. No light polishing by myself or local vinyl shop could repair them.
I used Big Worm so its not like it was cheap material either.

I had the stripes Ceramic coated yesterday. Hopefully that will extend the life of them.
