    maverick3_027_original.jpg New for my spoiler, just need the side stripes, but it needs to warm up a bit for those. mav_rear_001_original.jpg

    I like the stripe. Not a fan of the Ford oval though. Think it would take some getting used to for me. But Not my car so who cares what I think. LOL.

    Nice job on the stripe.(y)

    I like the stripe alot! Is it painted on or tape? I think those Chevy tail lights might slow down the car though ... LOL

    I like the stripe, but not the oval, they don't look right on older cars...

    I like the stripe and the emblem so I guess it's just a preference thing is it painted or decal and if its decal you should offer them for sale I would be interested in one!:thumbs2:

    The wide stripe is painted and the outlined stripe is 3/16 tape

    I agree with some of the others, the stripe looks great but the emblem not so much.....

    Personally, I think the ends of the stripe shouldn't be tapering in at the bottom of the spoiler endcaps. the endcap is getting wider at the bottom and the stripe is getting narrower. thats the fisrt thing my eye noticed when looking at the pic. This would be a tricky thing to make look right though. It wouldnt look right if it flared out and followed the contour either.
