Yes, I installed the pinstripes myself. Only $15 to buy the set, and you end up with 4 or 5 extra stripes, so there's plenty if you screw up.

Ask them for some pointers on install. A spray bottle of water makes them easy to move around if you need to so you can get them lined up perfectly.

Start with the shorter sections so by the time you get to the hood & roof, you're plenty comfortable with the install.

Thank you for the tips!

I was upset about Deep Impact Blue being axed, but Lightning Blue looks like a suitable replacement.

I do find it curious that the GT350 updates are being announced BEFORE the updates for the standard car, though. My guess is powertrain updates of some sort are in store.

I'm going to have my Oxford White GT350R repainted in Guardsman Blue:

Ok, not really, but if Guardsman Blue or Liquid Blue were options, I'd have gone with that. Deep Impact and Lightning just don't do it for me.

I've been saying and I still think that 17 production will be very early. They are going to get these cars to the dealers early so they can get any potential ADM money before people can start flipping the 16s to their same potential customers. Smart if you ask me.

Guys I was all about magnetic for my 2017 but damn that Ruby Red is sweet.

My wife only likes black cars but she said she liked the Ruby Red, which was a surprise to me. Already have a 16 coming, so oh well :(

I think LB will look like that if it was sunny. In the pictures, it seems like the photoshoot was done on a cloudy day.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

I'm trying really hard to figure out if it would be better to keep my '16, wrap it and add coolers or go for a '17 that's the car I probably should have waited for.

Matt - did you have a color in mind for a wrap? I'm going to do 3M White Aluminum.

^I'm willing to bet it is. The gas guzzler tax is usually built right into the sticker price.

It wasn't when the 2015/16 prices were announced. It said plus gas guzzler tax and 900 destination. Which I would bet would be added to that 55k number and bring it to right around the 2016 fell. I'd still bet on it being a small percentage more than the current track package car.

I haven't seen it in person but it seems like Riviera Blue would be an approximation of Grabber but matte.

Stripes or not

Something about stripes and high performance Mustangs seems to go together even though some don't like them. That said, shadow black and the new ruby red are two that could do without really well. Looks like oxford white still limited to blue stripes with the non-R. Think the black stripes with black roof on the oxford white looks fantastic. Maybe just order black roof and add stripes later. Torn between that and AG with black roof and black stripes. Not a fan of AG at first but really grown on it with the black breaking it up and probably hides dirt better than white. DAMN this is tuff. Hopefully find out in a week if I can change my 16 to a 17 for sure then have to decide. Otherwise OW with blue.

Thanks for the chart - I'd like to see a sample of "Ocean Shimmer" The Liquid show car seemed to have a tint of green at some angles and this looks like it might, too.

Edit: maybe it's a little off of the show car but I kinda like it.
