Saleen - What do They Contribute?

[Black Moon]

Do any of you know if they re-clear the panels after the stripes are added?
Thanks

Don't believe so. There is still a sharp edge to the stripes you can feel.

Prefix is basically a body shop, and it isnt a large one either. if Prefix has been assigned to do the work, then why couldnt Prefix have a small area right there at CAAP to do their work? just seems like things would move along faster and decrease the chance of shipping delays and damage. isnt there a more efficient way to do this?

If CAAP is using union employee's and Prefix does not then there would be a BIG problem with having non-union employees (Prefix employees) in a union shop (CAAP employees).

Yes it is the coolest car .....
but hate to bust your bubble ... I personally walked 6 Vettes down the line in Bowling Green and had select car parts signed by the appropriate folks ....

For the first few washes I was afraid the ACR stripe would 'peel' off. I'm still nervous about it.

wonderful pictures, thanks for sharing. like someone said, that must be what heaven looks like.

I love the pictures! There's a massive variety with colours and stripes. Add in the Vert, Coupe or ACR..... I want one of each!

ACR's striped steering wheel is installed at Connor Ave.

Just got a photo of my car at Connor with red striped steering wheel installed, going to Prefix for wing, splitter and red stripe.

Anxiously waiting .....

Fact: The SRT10 / ACR stripes are masked and cleared, but NOT the panel. This gives the stripe an elevated edge (that grabs wax and fingernails.....)

Exception/Trivia: If you bought the 2006 (rare) SnakeSkin Edition stripe, you had the surface cleared, not just the stripe.

Trivia: OE stripes from 96-02 Did have the entire stripe and panels cleared

MANY THANKS for noticing............he must have been a MACK/CAAP Old-Timer! Several of the guys and 1 gal who were there and built my 96 GTS (1st retail delivery) were there on 6/8/96, as well as VOI-10 !
