Went to the auto show yesterday to see my new car:

Well, this caught my eye too...

 

[Milstang]

Very nice! Was the Shelby on the back actually blue or was that an illusion of the lights?

Either way it looks great!

:burnout:

I tried to get that plate and now I know who has it. I ended up with GT500SC and
PWRPONY.

Beautiful!

Damn!.....I hope the price is right

 

[NVWSSV]

[Purvis]

RAZOR Z,

I'm dying to know, where the stripes paint or vinyl?

I'm jealous that you got to go to the show!!

LR 01,

THANKS.....I was really hoping for paint, but I know that would be out of the question due to cost cutting.

 

[old ford guy]

Gee, that looks like my new car too!

Yeah, the emblem was finished in a dull silver same for the badge in the center - looks sweet.

RAZOR Z,

I'm dying to know, where the stripes paint or vinyl?

I'm jealous that you got to go to the show!!

And... The Stripes - hood and sides were PAINTED on, but who knows once it hits production!

 

[mrGT]

RAZOR,

THANKS......I hope they do paint the stripes on.

Stripes need to be wider. I would get it without the stripes package, and have them painted on by a good paint shop, then the whole car re-cleared, wet sanded and buffed. But that is just me.

They will be vinyl. To many man hours will go in to painting them on from the factory. You would most likely pay about 2K more just for the stripes. It would be worth it, but it would slow producion down to much do to union labor laws.

 

[mrGT]

HISSMAN,

So you think they don't show the "real" production cars at the show then? For some reason, that doesn't sound fair. But I do understand the additional cost that painting might add. Now I wonder what the "Delete stripes" option will take off of the price, or the reverse, how much "With stripes" will add.

Your joking right ? They never show what you are going to get at the shows. They are always delicately hand painted and groomed for the best appearance.

Another good option, though I would still get the stripes deleted, is for them to install the stripes pre-clearcoat, then clear over them. They would look a lot better than just bare exposed vinyl.

HISSMAN,

I guess I am pretty naive about a "Production Car Show", never been to one. If that's what they do, then they are taking McDonald advertising to the next level. (Have you ever got a hamburger at McDonalds that looks like the one in the ad?)

But I am with you, stripes under glass would be awesome.
