    Sally gets some love--08 GT

    I have been wanting to do something, anything to the Mustang. Just a little something to set it apart from the crowd. I like the clean white lines but I do love the black contrast the windows and the grill/headlights have against the paint....So I decided to do this....

    It started out as a set of racing stripes with a 1.5 inch gap in the middle, then a set of stripes outlined with a pinstripe...but I was not feeling either one of them, they didnt have the look I was after....I think this nails exactly what I was looking for. It is still at the shop, we had to scuff and shoot some flattening agent over the black and let it cure. I should be picking it up today. What do you think?

      Looks like a cool idea, but I would have to see some pics of the car when you get it back.

                          Just don't lean on the black parts in the summer heat. It'll get more than hot enough fry your tuckus.

                              In AZ during the summer, I wouldn't lean on the white parts either. haha. I don't lean on anything down here in the afternoon if I can avoid it, that much is for sure.

                              Looks good Joe, get us some pics with it back on the car?

                                  He hit it with the flattening agent on Monday but it did not take so he had to sand it and respray, it had to cure 12 hours. I am hoping it will be done today or tomorrow, I am sick of people telling me I am missing my hood...No shit! Really? Damn hood stealing bastages!

                                      Well, resanded, resprayed with hot rod black and clear mix...cure time done. Picked to hood up at 4pm yesterday and could not be more pleased. It is a subtle yet dramatic change to the car IMO...he is going to spray the tail panel next. After that I am done with paint...time to save my nickles and dimes for springs, intake, tuner, spoiler, splitter.

                                                  It's amazing what a little paint can do, looks great. I'm sure the tail panel will look just as good.

                                                      Springs will be a nice addition. Even if it's not "slammed", the subtle drop just makes it look right.

                                                          agreed, it sits a bit high, and these cars look great dropped a bit...much more of an agressive look.
