I do like the rear black out but that magnet will ruin your paint (due to condensation behind it) just do it in vinyl or have it painted. jmo

According to the manufacturer it will not ruin your paint. I would personally take it off after it rains and clean it. If you have the Carbon one back there stuck on with double stick tape there is going to be the same problem but alot harder to take off. Not that I am suggesting I would drive in the rain.

the magnets will not hurt your paint, but they do require some care. Make sure they are clean and the car is clean, and have a good coat of wax on the car. Take them off and dry after they get wet, etc. I have been running a set of magnet signs on my truck for years with no paint damage. I also have a sign shop and could probably crank out a few of these. I think one with black reflective vinyl would look cool at night.

It's hard to say because I'm waiting for my die cutter to get back with me. I would say about 35.00 with shipping. I am going to try and give members of this site a better price of around $25.00. I am in the process of getting a patent. Also have plans for different colors, graphics such as GT, or Mustang lasered into it. Maybe flames, anything. It's in the process and waiting to work out the kinks.

Do you even own a mustang,, halflife1


I think its a great idea, its not permanent (like paint) so it can be removed a place back, unlike vinyl this can be on or off with ease,,, how much did it cost you, and how did they(place were u got it) or your cut the magnet, im thinking its done using laser die cutting, and it would also be nice to share the thickness of the magnet
Click to expand...
yes I do, and I bought a real one (5 speed )
I own 3 fords...a 2003 lightning and a bronco.

that is ghetto anyway you cut it. You are taking a peice of magnet and sticking it on your car like you did with your report card in grade school on your refrig. It looks cheap and takes away from the car. Maybe you can get some My Little Pony magnets and stick them on the car next to the stang emblem..that would go real nice!
and that will definitly F'ck up your paint, the first time it rains or snows and you don't remove it, clean everything and dry it. Have you ever seen the damage those little yellow ribbon magnets do to your paint...leave one on for a week and pull it off...
and on top of that, why the F would you want a stick on? Either you want your back blacked out or you don't. If you can't decide what you want go buy buy a civic and pick up some altezza.

I give the guy props for coming up with the idea and being different, but this is an american muscle car, not rice mobil that we stick crap all over.

I agree with halflife, it does look ghetto. Either you want it black, or you don't. Besides, from the pics it looks like the upper part is peeling off/won't stick correctly.

wow you must be real slow if you are the only one that can not figure that out.

Altezza look like schittt on an american car(except on a lightning ), and your stick on magnet will look like schittt on an american car.....i really really think you stopped at the wrong dealership when you went to buy your car. You were supposed to make the left at main street to get to the honda dealer not the right turn to the ford dealer.

I can see your car now. ....big azz batman wing, some altezzas, stick on magnets all over the place, fur seat covers, some glow lights under the car, and the little glow caps on your tire valve, gold rims, and 2 big azz fart cans hanging off the back.

Altezza's look like schitt on almost every car. The only reason they are on my truck is because they were factory. I want to get a set of the red `99-00 tails.

I think the blacked out backend looks better with the blacked out tail lights to go with it. There is a kit out there that covers the tails and center. I have not seen enough pics to make the call on buying them or not.

don't buy the kit, it will look just as bad in a few months as the magnetic stick my little pony sticker. Remove the lights and have a body shop spray them. My friend did it on everything on his 05 saleen and it looks sick....pain in the azz porject getting all the lights out but if you saw his car it is worth the extra work.
