Went to a body shop today who is well known for custom and special car work. I liked them.
They will color match the gold via color spectrum. Just need to bring a sample. Intend to get the GT-H S/C side stripes from Shelby and have them match to that. Will be contacting Roger Sorel. Front and back window will be removed for paint to keep factory look which is recomended by body shop - (Any conern or thoughts with that?) Intend to clear over Lemans stripes to make it smooth. Side strripes will stay tape so they can be replaced in the future back to stock without to much effort if so desired. They also do lots of fiberglass work. In the process of writing up the quote.
More to follow!
Don't call Roger for stuff like this, call Wendy at Shelby Performance Parts: 702-405-3500
And be sure to post pictures when it's done!!!
