Hi Guys I found a GREAT custom paint shop to work with to get my stripes
painted on they did a GREAT job all the color standing and 4 coats of clear
bump to bump stripes my total was only $795

Let me know what you guys think.

look good from here! nice price too. its hard to find a shop that is willing to do stripes at a fair price. the labor involved usually kills the deal.

That looks FANTASTIC!

What's the name and number for the shop?

I'm getting my new Candy Red GT vert in December, and I didn't get the stripes from the factory since they are just stickers, but if these guys paint them on and then clearcoat, wow. I also might get a GT500 front end, and I would have them match it to the rest of the car.

Grabber Orange FTW. The tungsten stripes really look good on it!

You just can't beat the look of a quality painted stripes
I love the subtle look of the painted tribar as well!

What do you guys think about added a silver horse racing billet gas
cap cover on the car? Along with maybe some SHR louvers.

I've thought about the gas door as well, but having 2 noticeable gas doors is not a great look IMO. If I didn't love the look of the SHR honeycomb panel(hint hint-a honeycomb panel with no holes for the faux cap), I'd have no probems removing the faux one and filling the holes and getting a black billet one.

I might step on somone's toes with my opinion but i kinda think the billet gas cap doors look a bit "rice." Someone should make a big giant metal twist off cap like on the viper gts or the "Eleanore" car from the new gone in 60 seconds.

Stripes look great by the way. 4 coats of clear! There's probably not even a hint of a tape line.
