Hi all!! Sorry to post this on the tech forum, but I thought this would be best since this is for Ford owners.
Anyway, after waiting so long, I can sleep easy because I am now a proud owner of a 2005 Mustang GT. A car with a ledgendary past in the history of sports cars.


There are so many things I'd like to do with it (MODS! MODS! MODS!), but first I must get through the break-in before I can start opening up this pony.
In the meantime, I'd like to put racing stripes on the hood and on the sides.
Does anyone know a place that you recommend where I can get customized stripes like the ones in the following pictures?


I was thinking about silver, gold, or maybe black?
I'd like to get your thoughts on what color would look good with Redfire Metallic.
I appreciate your input.

Thanks!

 

go to a body shop. they have painters there that put stripes on cars.

 

Thanks!
Is there a place that you would recommend?

 

No racing stripes, unless you're racing it.

 

I do not know any shops in the Tampa area. I hear that Ronnie Setser does/did good work, but I also hear he is hard to deal with.

There are two shops up this way that I would recommend, but I'm not really sure you want to drive to Hudson for the work. However, if you don't mind the drive, let me know and I will get you their info.

 

Ronnie Setzer does do good work, but don't expect to see your car for about a month. I would'nt do stripes if I were you, looks good as it is, just my .02.

 

I wouldn't bother, but if you MUST.... I'd recommend doing vinyl rather than paint. If you change your mind, it's easy to take off. When you sell the car, they're easy to take off for a future owner as well (if they don't like the look).

 

+1 on Vinyl stripes.

 

Thank you all for your thoughts and opinions.
Vinyl stripes are the way to go instead of paint, but before I do anything I'll search for pictures of other Redfire colored GTs, with similar stripes, and see how they look before I make a decision. If I see any that just doesn't look right, then I may just leave the car as it is.
