Rocker Panel Stripes?

WeCircleTheProblem · October 11th, 2006, 03:03 PM

The Stock Side Stripes that say Mustang if i remove those will there be paint under them, id figure there would be and will it look weird with the weathered paint and the paint thats been covered for 4 years?

the paint will be unfaded if you take car of the car. my car had them for 5 yrs. i took them off with a hair dryer and goo gone and the paint matched perfectly- though i do wax my car at least once a month

+1

if you have taken care of the paint properly it will not be an issue taking off the stripes

WeCircleTheProblem · October 12th, 2006, 10:41 AM

i have taken car of it since ive gotten it but i dont know if the previous owners took such good care...so do you think it will be a problem?

AtlanticBlue99 · October 12th, 2006, 03:43 PM

no. the paint under the decal is like showroom, it is the outside that will fade

WeCircleTheProblem · October 12th, 2006, 06:21 PM

well i just took them off....a hair dryer, goo gone, and some mothers wax. They came off rather easy, the goo gone took all the residue off, and the wax took the inprint of the letters off...

overall they look wonderful and the car looks cleaner...black didnt goto well with true blue

AtlanticBlue99 · October 12th, 2006, 10:54 PM

good deal. so it didnt leave any fading outlines?

WeCircleTheProblem · October 13th, 2006, 10:28 PM

no thankfully and the cars rather dirty since its been raining and i couldnt see any fades...i even cleaned it up alittle with the goo gone and nothing that i can see

I'm glad that worked out for you. Thanks for sharing that story. Have you got any before and after pix?

I had the stripe added to mine and it's only been a few months but I'm not sure I like. It's okay but if I take it off and want it back on then ...

I suppose I could opt for another style.

Guess if anyone reads this and would like to offer an opinion.....

before/after:
and if you want to put them on again, you can get them off ebay for cheap. i personally think most decals, especially factory, cheapen the look of the car

97Cobra · October 18th, 2006, 08:27 PM

looks sharp man!

ljzippy · October 23rd, 2006, 10:31 PM

Good call, looks better with strips off.

97Cobra · October 23rd, 2006, 10:35 PM

I think black decals insted of white would have looked better on your car AtlanticBlue. the white look espically Cheap. but no decals is wayyy better than the white decals you had.

97Cobra · October 23rd, 2006, 10:37 PM

plus the new wheels made it look 20 times better. lol gotta love them V6 wheels..........for garage tables...LOL
