Very nice! Aren’t hand painted stripes much better than the factory vinyl? My 2000 SS I put the SLP vinyl stickers on and they looked good for 4 or 5 years and started to fade. On my 2011 all the black stripes and accents are hand painted, even my bow ties are hand painted.

Ok I guess I need to clarify, only the pin stripe around the car is hand painted, hood and deck lid are vinyl.... My car has been garaged its whole life, previous owner was my uncle... It has about 55k miles on it... the stripes actually still look good... In the future, maybe Id get them painted on if they start looking shabby...

Gotcha! I had the 2000 from 2005-2012 and it barely got garage time and in the with the sun beating on them constantly as it was my DD I got to experience them when they were beautiful and then fading lol when I bought the car back from the guy I sold it to my plan was to repaint it and then have those stripes painted on this time . . . but then I found this car and for the price I couldn’t justify even building my 4th Gen when I could buy this. This only had 11,318 miles on it when we got it 3 years ago and the quality of work blew me away. Thankfully I have a garage to store it in. Honestly, hand painted stripes are where it’s at, especially when done correctly. These stripes are 14 years old now and they still look brand new.

If you look hard enough, you can still find factory inferno orange stripes, all but the trunk lid. But screaming chicken has ones that match exactly!

I painted the stripes on my last 4th gen. Can't beat the look of it with it being under the clear. Should had been that way from the factory.

So for now I think just deleting the bow tie will lan improvements!
