I have got to tell everyone here that in regards to StickShiftNoobs photos, that besides the super frickin' awesome clean looking car, that these may be the best tastefully done pictures of a Mustang that I have ever seen.

I am just beside myself that I just don't know more on what to say. I'm just that taken by the car and the pictures. They are just really something else.

Excellent and I do mean excellent work, StickShiftNoob.--------Bill

How did you paint your rear faux gas cap?

BluehazeGT

Great pics!

Did you plastidip the logo on the back?

Thank you kind sir!!! I appreciate it I would love to take credit for the photos, but I can't. After I got the car I called up a previous co-worker of mine that did photography on the side because I wanted some nice pictures of my car, and didn't want to post ****ty iphone pics (no offense to anyone who does) She had never done any photography of cars before mine so it was a learning experience for both of us, but they turned out more amazing than I ever thought! Thanks again for the kind comments!

Plasti-dipped the whole cap, then peeled off the "GT." Since the "GT" is raised compared to black surrounding it peeled off easily.

FINALLY! I see pics of the great bill! beautiful car sir. I am truly envious. Love the color combo. No fancy pics needed. Great car on its own.

FromZto5, your comments are so flattering that it just totally floored me. I can't thank you enough my friend.

Those words were extremely nice. I won't forget it. I thank you again, FromZto5.-------Bill

Np Bill... least I could do.

I did forget to comment tho, regarding your statement about getting your Meguiar's Detailer to clean up the rain water.

Please be careful with that. When it rains, even on a parked car, it mixes in with the contaminants (dirt, dust, pollen, whatever) already on the surface of your car. That's why when it dries up, you see dirt "etches" on your car. It gets worse when you drive it in the rain, as the amount of dirt is amplified.

So simply using a microfiber (MF) towel to spray and wipe off the "dirt" may seem like a harmless idea, but this is a big contributor to "marring" or scratching your paint...leading to swirls, etc. Though it may not ALWAYS lead to swirls (i.e. if you do it VERY gently, or "dab" the spots instead of wiping, for example), there is a high probability it will. Don't take the risk.

My rule of thumb is, whenever it gets rained on, a 2 or 3-bucket wash is a must.... this greatly reduces the chances of adding swirls on a paint's finish. In other words, why take the risk? I would hate to see your gorgeous Shelby swirled up.

Just wanted to share my thoughts, Bill... I hope that's ok. (Paint care is my passion... lol)

I hear you loud and clear Z. Thanks for caring and the honest concern.

Thanks again Z.--------Bill

Decided to see what the car would look like with painted valances and side skirts

You put the 13 tailights on a 2011? The fit doesn't look bad at all.

Stinger1982

thats not just the tail lights.

Thats a 2013 GT500 rear facisa, 2013 GT500 Lower valence/diffuser, RTR License plate surround and 2013 GT500 quad tip exhaust

jmillz

Oh nice, yea I see that now as I look closer. I just saw the front and the tail-lights and made the comment.

Looks great, I think the '13 style HIDs would look really good, but that's probably a matter of opinion.

FromZto5

Is that just a photoshop? or is that really painted? IMO, it doesn't flow. I prefer the stock matte finish. The paint match is also off.

We were just talking about you. Is that your old car?? It needs the side skirts and a painted front end now haha!

Stinger1982

Yep that's my 2011 GT

Those look great! I don't like the stormtrooper look too often but it looks nice on your car!
