spacecoastshelby Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Does anyone know for certain if there was a "stripe delete" option for the 2007 year? I am trying to figure out if it was stripe delete from the order, or if the previous owner had them taken off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine have been a hassle, but I *GOTTA* have my stripes! Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL SHELBY Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Contact Shelby for a new scoop. I assume that they keep records on which SGT's have received the final scoop. I'm sure they will charge you for it, but it would be an original Shelby part. Another option would be the deep draw hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormracer Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I paid a graphics guy! He then had the car buffed out 2x for about 16 hours worth of work. All in all it turned out really nice. But as I said winter is coming and my mind has to much free time lol. We will see what spring brings when the car comes out for the new car show season.

JeffIsHereToo Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 how do u remove the stripes? Slooooooooowly! You can make it easier by heating them up with a hair dryer, not too hot, but often the older 07 cars stripes come off in small pieces and it's a royal PITA!

I am trying to figure out if it was stripe delete from the order, or if the previous owner had them taken off. Hi, The previous owner removed the stripes. I know who owned it. When I saw what he did to the car I just couldn't understand why. He was never really happy with the car. Older guy owned it and took care of it. Sun State Ford in Orlando sold the car to him. Maybe there are some records. I tried contacting him but no answer. Don't know if he has the hood. You should feel confident that it wasn't abused and it was garaged. Drive it and enjoy and welcome to Shelby world. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to figure out if it was stripe delete from the order, or if the previous owner had them taken off. Just an observation. It appears in your picture that the front lower valance air inlet is painted white. If so, then this lower area was originally black. If you wanted to have it original looking, there are many pictures of the SGT on the forum to give you the exact area of the lower valance that was originally black. Nice looking car either way.

Robert Sattur Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 how do u remove the stripes? I had my stripes removed while having some fender bender repairs made.We used a product made for removing vinyl graphics and it worked quite well, the adhesive stays on the vinyl and not the car. I'm very happy with the results and have got lots of complements on it. The product is called Vinyl Off 10-4 and it is environmentally safe. If you decide to remove stripes and leave them off you will have to paint the scoop to match the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
