S550 rhino5oh's 2018 Shelby GT350 Build Thread Profile - S550 Mustangs

Added some GT4-style decals. Not sure how I feel about all of them yet. Seems like maybe a bit much with the stripes.

Here are some (very poor) edits of some directions I might go:

1) keep stripes but remove the C pillar decals. This makes the decals clash less with the stripes

2) remove the stripes. I like this the most, but…the majority of the stripes are buried under Xpel PPF. I really don’t feel like removing the PPF, at least not this close to track season. Perhaps next winter

Comical. I literally just did the same but haven't posted anything yet while waiting for a photoshoot on Monday. I incorporated some additional decals on the hood and added some of the Ford Performance Decals on the rear 3/4's and revised the decals along the door to match the parts on the street car vs the GT4 race car.

Cut out all the logos on a Cricut machine and happy to share the data with you if you want to do similar logos.

Too funny! Yours looks great! Good job matching some of the decal colors to the stripes. It goes together better than mine.

I considered white+blue instead of gray+blue for my decals, but I thought it would be way too 'loud' in my particular case. The white stripes are already super bright on the red. I thought it would be way too much white for my car. The more subtle matte dark gray you have looks great. And white goes good with that orange

Thanks. I actually used this decal application sheet from the Tamiya model kit for the GT4 Mustang to help lay it all out.

I ended up removing the C Pillar decals. It was just too much with the stripes in my opinion. May add them back if I ever remove the stripes. Snapped some better pics

I think it looks better with your setup because those C pillar pieces were the only thing above the waist line of the car other than the white over the top stripes. That's one of the reasons I added some extra vinyl on the hood, end plates, and the rear 3/4 panels to get more "action" above the waistline.

Overlaying the stripes with a blue stripe and white pin stripe to match the numbers on the door I think could work. I think you need a blue or a grey main stripe to work with the other colors.

Or double down and replace the gray details with white so it's red white and blue.
