PS. don't comment to much on how dirty it is, I know its dirty and can't stand it. It'll get a good bath when every things done.
Looks real good bro. I'm guessing that hood scoop was a bitch to get right. Don't wash it for at least 24 hours and park that baby in the sun.

If i did any stripes, it would most likely be black, heres why. On the saleen, on the bottom of the doors theres a decal that says, "SALEEN" this decal is black, tinted windows - black, black FR500 wheels. The entire outside of the car is white and black. I think the blue just wouldnt look quite right, on my car

I have a 2004 40th Anniversary GT and was looking for a place that carried the Arizona Beige color stripes. I want to replace the stock stripes that only go on the hood and trunk with ones that go from bumper to bumper but i want to keep them the same color. Ford seems to be good at keeping there colors to themselves and the dealership told me that they do not sell stripes that go all the way across the car. Anybody got any ideas on where i could fiind Arizona Beige stripes?

Ive asked the guys at rallystripes.com and bobwhitedecals and neither of them will touch that color.

I had the 40th stripes, i hated em. i liked having stripes, but i diddnt like how they were only on the top of the trunk and the hood, come on, i want my stripes going all the way around.

so i pulled off the stock stripes and put on my silver rallys. i like them a lot better
I went to graphic-express and they have custom colors but then I went to their color selection graphics-express and they have a beige that looks almost exactly like the Arizona beige. When you click on more info it says that it is not. Do you think that they just couldnt call it Arizona Beige or is there actually a difference in the color.

what color is yer stang anyways?
Crimson Red (40th Anniversary) with the Arizona Beige trimmed wheels, which is why i kinda wanted to try and keep the same color. But i dont think that the silver stripes would look too bad with the wheels.
Also I have the side panel stripes... I guess i would have to throw them away.

Omg, I'm realy aggravated. I tried putting the stripes on my spioler, and man was that hard. The stripes would'nt contour to the shape or the spoiler. So I had to cut slices in the stripe and over lap them. Now air is wanting the stay in them. and to top that off when I put the spoiler back on, the stripes were'nt centered with the others, there about 1/4" off. Plus the stripe I have left is just enough to do my front bumper.
