Looks beautiful. The silver stripes go great with the gray. Looks a lot better than white would.

What kind of power are you getting with the programmer?

The stripes are vinyl not paint. I got the precut stripe kit for $130 on e-bay. I was quoted $400 to put the kit on, or $650 to have them cut the graphics. I said screw that, and Chuck and I put them on Wednesday night. They came out nearly flawless. To have them painted from a reputable shop it was like $1200-$1400. Not only is it a LOT more $, but paint is forever and vinyl peels off if I don’t like it. Hell, I could vinyl stripe it 10 times for the cost of paint.

I like it alot Steve. The stripes compliment the color really well. You will have to bring it out to a gtg so we can see it.

They say it adds 30HP and 32 ftlbs torque. I haven’t dyno’d it, but it made a huge difference. It really opens the car up and you can feel that it breathes a LOT better. It makes the exhaust sound “throatier” as well.

RICE!

No, honestly though, it looks real good. I like the color combo and the install looks pretty good too. How long did it take and was it difficult to get things lined up right?

you don't consider me a friend but i think the drop is needed asap

im not a stang fan what so ever especially after seeing how poor the braking performance is
(the rear end lifts wayyyy too much when you brake hard *at least i saw so on the V6*)

i like the fastback kit i have seen on some... makes the gt look way awsome.

put xenons on! hehe
