What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Snakebyte]

Subtle but cool.

Thanks, @RowdyRam. I indeed was going for a more subtle appearance.
After seeing Mach 1 and GT/CS stripes I figured that was the look I wanted at the rear quarter panel. I also like how the GT/CS stripe terminates at the front fender, as opposed to terminating at the front wheel well.

Still basic outfitting after my initial purchase: Swapped out the single tone horn for the dual tone version, got a phone holder, door storage, cargo net, hood struts, front license plate bracket, and Weathertech mats.

I have had my WM garage shifter just over 6 years and till looks and shifts like it did on the first day. Great product.

Hi @Mike Pfeifer. The short answer is, I fabricated them.

The long answer, for those folks interested I can share fabrication details at a later time. While some stripe suppliers will make custom stripes, I chose to make it a fun project for the price of a 20 ft roll of 2" vinyl "pinstriping" and a roll of adhesive backed release film, as I had all other materials on hand to fabricate the cutting fixture.

Found where the U shaped hose goes. I thought it was a coolant hose when it's actually an air hose, connecting the intake tube to the cool side charge pipe along side the blow off valve. Got the stock radiator out and the Mishimoto unit in, but not connected. Got the dag blasted hose that was delaying me out and the silicone replacement in. Quick connect my ass. Changed the thermostat as well. The car will live again... eventually.

Added lower side stripes.

What side skirts do you have, also what's the rear thingy? I know the front splitter is mp concepts.

Hi Emmanuel. The side splitters are Scott Drake brand....as well as the splitters behind the tires. I got them through CJPonyParts.

Note that the splitters come with a semi-gloss surface that doesn't quite match the texture and sheen of the skirts. That works just fine for most people. If you are a little OCD on things like I am, you may be interested in the following link, should you purchase them. But then as I said, they are quite alright as is for most.

I read through the entire 3-page thread (because I need to paint a new splitter this spring), but to save you time, just read his post #39:

Little snow here in south carolina

 

[Snakebyte]

Actually the car looks quite comfortable at rest in that setting.

BTW...where did you get the fading stripes. I was looking for those. Ultimately I fabricated my own stripes, but I sure do love your stripes as well.

Thanks for the compliment. They are the factory California special stripes. They also go on the hood as well.

Ah...I've apparently been looking at later model GT/CS stripes, which are nice, but your stripes are more to my liking.
