The car came out a bit different than the original color, but I think it looks good. The repo rear quarter windows fit pretty well also.

Yes they are. The overal fit was great. The rubber used seems a bit thinner than the originals, but other than that I think they are a pretty good copy. I am happy I purchased them

Wow. That looks great. I had been considering those wheels for my gt (similar color combo) but I went 5-lug instead. Now I'm regretting that decision.
I love the oval removal on the front too

Yeah I've been looking at them and they really arent that expensive, my quarter glass will always be an eye sore no matter what I do, I may end up getting a set too when I start on making my car look good. Again your car looks amazing, thank you for having a good looking gt, seems like its harder to make a gt bad ass, but you did it.

is the color mineral grey? what brand of paint was used and how much did it cost to paint it, also did it require much bodywork, car looks nice and straight.

I know, I know...I wasn't going to put them back on after I had the car done, but the metal piece that the weather stripping squashes up into is dented in a couple of spots and I have not seen the piece sold as a replacement anywhere. The vent visor attaches to that metal piece so it covers up the dents. It's just an easy fix for now I guess.

I'm not sure what paint he used. It is supposed to be the original Ford paint code, but the guy who painted the car said there were a bunch of different codes for the original color. I think it ended up that the bottom color is a bit darker than the original and the upper color is a bit lighter than the original, so there is not quite as much of a distinction between the two colors as there was before it was painted. I'm happy with the way it came out though.

There really was not much bodywork that had to be done. I had a friend of mine who does paintless dent removing go through the entire car a few years back, so he pretty much got all of the little dings out. The body shop guy did do some straightening out here and there though. Everything lines up nicely now
