socalwrench Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Ford, pay attention. Look at painted lower sections. That is how they're supposed to be! Very nice dude. Do you have a front picture also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobras55 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Not positive yet but think I like them unpainted better. Has to grow on me maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Alibi 2 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 The paint work is an interesting visual. Would also like to see the front end, & front and back after it's striped.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUE 2010 SHELBY GT 500 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 painted lowers are personal choices,looks good but to much blue for me my front and rear are now real carbon fiber, as you can see from my picture i am trying to tone down my car ,rear carbon was not on the car at time of this picture but looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDGT500 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Painted looks so much better for the sides. The stock black sides make the car look lifted. Did they just tape and paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I like the unpainted rockers and valance better too. I just think the unpainted or carbon fiber type ones make the car look sleeker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobras55 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Bangastang just sent me an email shortly after reading this post,(which I thought was real funny).....They now will paint your rocker panels,splitter,and valance for 1750.00......I'm sure it will be a quality job but what a joke on the price. Also in an earlier post I commented I like them unpainted better, well after thinking about it I feel that it matters on what color you have . I feel the darker colors like kona,black,sterling gray,look better unpainted but colors like grabber,white,silver would look better painted...just my opinion and too the original post , your car looks sweet.....What kinda of wheels(rims) you have there?

alaska Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Sorry I havent replied I had to fly out of town for the last couple of days for work, I will post some other shots tomorrow, thanks I really like the look of it I was riding the fence on painting or not so I went for it, I pulled the rear valance and rockers myself was a piece of cake Roush has directions on removal of the rear valance removed it in an hour by myself, painting didnt cost me anything per say as I am in Fire Prevention and traded out an inspection with my painter. The wheels are Boyd Codington F09's I had the center spokes painted but I am going to do something different next year wider and probably an 18 as with the new VMP TVS I need traction I plan to switch out the lower with a 10% and go bigger throttle body and fuel rails also.

It better add about 50 horsepower too, for that kind of money. That's just rediculous. I like the way it looks...but I don't like it that much.

If you did go for a smooth finish, did you sand the plastic smooth or go with a high build filler primer prior to topcoat? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalwrench Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 That looks great! May I add that I would paint the splitter, and that thing would be top 10 on the site! These are from the previous generation, but you get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
