The stripes look nice.  But....always a but....when taking the car in for a wax detail, be prepared to pay a boatload in extra labor.   All those vinyls have to be taped so as not to get any wax under the vinyl.  

Wax on or under the vinyl is devastating to the vinyl.   It looks good...but it is a matter of personal preference of clean look vs. a lot of vinyl.   On a black KR, it is subdued so doesn't pop so much.  

If you do get any wax on the vinyl, it must be removed immediately.  Asking a detailed for such meticulousness is asking a lot.  In order to do it right, they will have to tape everything.  Labor cost will be much higher than a car with no vinyl.

I saw that on there looking for one last week. I think that what they did to that car looks cheap.

Window lovers and the blacked out emblems do not belong on it.

The car came from the factory with a Shaker 1000 so I guess they just added the Nav HU

Agreed.  Look at the final bidding to see that what was done to this great car was not a good idea.  Blacking everything out seems like a great idea but it does look cheap.  And, $8000 wheels or not, they aren't the Shelby Alcoas that belong on the car.  Goes to show that Shelby and his team knew what they were doing and there's not much else that needs to be done to improve on it.  Just my opinion though...

While we await the official product from Shelby some day, I had an empty frame so I whipped this up for my office......minus the  VIN for this posting of course. I think the real deal would be a fantastic mate to have along with the Shelby Authenticity Certificate!

What is the diffenece in the two silver colors (if any)

When I saw a 2008 and 2009 side by side, my immediate impression was the 2009 had more of a sparkle of metal flake in it.

Does anyone know if there is a paint code that coincides with the blue stripes on the KR. I believe this has been brought up before but I do not recall the answer.

I know someone who has it. I'll see if I can remember to get it for you next time I see him. It's a MOPAR color code, not a Ford color code.

Funny you would say that. I have a blue 2005 Dodge truck and it looks very similar.
