andrewnagle1964 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Well it looks like the new Shelby is headed to the body shop on Monday to get the stripes painted on. The Chip Beck Hood Scoop was repaired flawlessly by Heath and will be installed as well. The Original Scoop is headed to the Carroll Shelby Foundation for his signature, which might make the only one with matching Black and White signed hood scoops !!!!! I am seriously debating leaving the windshield fluid nozzles off and having the holes filled in, the Shelby is not my DD and I try not to get caught in the rain anyway, Also leaning heavy towards the Black Billet Grill instead of the Silver Original ones and the Agent 47 I had on my last Shelby. Also still on the fence with the Black Stripes instead of staying original with the Satin Silver Take Care Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to know how much they're charging you to paint your stripes and what the color code is for the paint. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitch43 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 +1 on staying with the silver stripes. I'm having mine painted on right now and my paint guy matched the stripes to Ford's YN paint code. It matched the vinyl stripes almost perfectly.

RACERX009 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I say blue stripes !! Also , I think there is a kit to put nozzles on the blades like chevy had. Also maybe put the nozzles under the hood. But it would look nice without them it's one thing that will be gone when my stripes get painted and the antenna.

Burning Blue Star IV Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I am seriously debating leaving the windshield fluid nozzles off and having the holes filled in, the Shelby is not my DD and I try not to get caught in the rain anyway, Don't you need the washer nozzles on the car and operational to pass inspection? I would think that would be something that must be present on a car to pass saftey standards? Also still on the fence with the Black Stripes instead of staying original with the Satin Silver I would stick with the Silver stripes...they look really classy on a white car.

I'd be interested to know how much they're charging you to paint your stripes and what the color code is for the paint. Dave $1,500 and clear another $1,500 to clear it but I plan not to clear that way they look like vinyl stripes one lesson from the last time I will paint the side stripes sold first and then the white stripes and letters on top, the previous time we went with the negative effect like the vinyl is and the small stripes closed up a little Satin Silver Paint code is M7049A Sherwin Williams #63454 SHELBY GT lettering is Myriad Pro Bold Italic 163 pt. Don't you need the washer nozzles on the car and operational to pass inspection? I would think that would be something that must be present on a car to pass saftey standards? I would stick with the Silver stripes...they look really classy on a white car. Good question I am gonna ask my auto/inspection guy tomorrow, Thanks !!!!!!

socalwrench Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 BLACK STRIPES! BLACK STRIPES! BLACK STRIPES! It will look great. I will probably catch some flak for this but it needs to be said. There are only two things I ever hated on the SGTs- the fake scoops and the silver stripes. On a white car- they look horrible- even when new. I remember the first time I saw a white SGT with the silver stripes- I thought they looked kind of wussy. Blue or black stripes should have been on the car to begin with.

cobrakalas427 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Based on your integration of black parts onto your white SGT, I would definitely go with black stripes to stay consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalwrench Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Nice! For some reason I can't locate the thread for functional hood scoops. I guess that's what I get for being gone from this forum for 6 months. The last Chip Beck scoops were nice replacements, but I didn't know they were functional- Anyone have the link? Making the side scoops functional isn't too difficult. I am actually working on using the GT/CS scoops in a similar way the original GT350R did.

I met up with this old timer he's a body and painter. He has three awesome chevy's painted by him he showed me his painted stripes that you didn't feel any lines or see any either. Which most striped cars you can feel the ridge on them. The one car was a 2010 camaro he recleared the whole car after the stripes to get rid of the ridge and like said before factory clear is to soft and easy to scratch. I plan on wet sanding my car down and pulling the stripes myself and reclearing it. I had my extention cord laying on my fender. It left small line from the cord it was just layed there wasn't pulled or dropped just placed my buddy couldn't believe how soft the clear is. What to you my truck painted by me not a hard thing to do. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I am a huge fanof Silver, to me it is the best color stripes, especially on white. My second choice would be Red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at the car today and it looked great so I decided to just clear the stripes not the whole car, I like the look and that it looks like good quality vinyl. Only mistake was he did not paint through the license plate area instead he copied the vinyl and went around, He did such a good job so fast I did not say anything, It is something I can live with Will post photos tomorrow Thanks Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
