Defiantly some tint and louvers in the rear side windows and perhaps the Matte Black Lemans stripes and rocker stripes. All In time

Way to go, smart decisions on single and no kids, I don't know if I'm more jealous about that or the car. Congrats either way, for what it's worth, I'm with Chad on this one, no stripes, although if I did, I'd go with 1LO and do matte black.

Seeing her up close has made me think a little. Pictures don't do justice. Looks really nice without stripes. We shall see. If I do go with stripes it will be Matte Black

As far a the single no kids thing it has its advantages

I would do the stripe like this but in matte black


I did this with my 2010 GT500 that is red, with satin black stripes, along with blacked out wheels.

1LOW03GT that looks nice I like the Super Snake stripes. I have decided to go Matte Black what ever stripes I choose.

I feel that style gives it that little extra. Either the tradditional way or the SS way will look good.

So I found a place in St Catherine's, about a half hour away from me. They are called Auto FX. They specialize in vehicle graphics using 3M vinyl. They can make the Le Mans racing stripes with pin stripes on each side as well as the rocker panel stripes installed for $675.00.

Ford wants almost $2000 for the stripe kit alone plus installation at the dealer.

I think its gonna get done

Good deal. It's not like you have a wife and kids to feed! Are you going to have it done right away or wait until it comes out of storage?

Gonna wait, its tucked away in a storage facility in Coburg and the weather is not summer tire friendly so I wont see it until probably April.
