Did you do the black part also

 

[ttocs]

if you want to give it some detail now get some 1/8" pinstriping decal and go around the outside of it.

Was it tricky where the rear bumper connects to the trunk/license plate area? It looks like you did a great job, but I'm scared I'd screw that back area up if I tried it lol. I like how you went all the way down the rear bumper and the spoiler too, some people leave those out and it doesnt look so good.

Came out great..

 

[copmagnet]

the portion right above "mustang gt" and below the trunk took two trys on both sides..

the "curves" in the bumper made it a PITA once we accidently melted the vinyl, woops, had to start over. another time we pulled it up and stretched it over an inch and it wasnt working so we had to start over again. it just took time. the top of the trunk, wing, and upper bumper took about 3 hours playing with a heat gun and soapy water to get it all nice.

Great job, man

I will be taking more tomorrow (if it doesnt snow) because we didnt finish till 7PM, and it gets dark around 530.

I didn't add it. but the car has had two other owners so maybe on of them? I kinda figured it was stock on these MY?

 

[OnyxCobra]

it could be stock but I thought it only came on Cobras, but I guess it's possible it came on all '96s (if that's what year yours is)
