Tob: MANY thanks for the info on Tribar and for the photos!
I'm reasonably capable with bitmapped images and videos, but I've never learned CAD software and wish I had. How long did it take to render that wheel cap? :) It's GORGEOUS!
And I wholeheartedly agree, Tribar's products look very...
It seems yours truly has to eat his hat after incorrectly guessing that the new car has metal snakes. Tob confirmed they're plastic so I guess I'll have to eat another hat for saying I wouldn't accept the car. That was stupid. After ALL this hassle and time, I'd be an idiot to ditch the car just...
02Edge: Even though gray stripes are not available painted or in vinyl, I was bored so I ginned up an image to simulate your request. Had to guess on the gray.
BA: I completely agree with your logic but do you really think a customer should have to pay more to delete Recaros and add the "standard" seats? No doubt the Recaros cost Ford more than their own seats.
I wonder if less people would complain if the starting price was $20k higher?
Yes, the shot of the new snake was shot on an angle but what does the width have to do with anything?
The fact that the 350 badge is plastic, IMHO, makes it even more disgraceful...again, IMHO.
BUT, if the new car comes with PLASTIC snakes, (and I'm 99.9 percent sure it won't,) I will let the...
Tob: I realize that everyone has their own taste when it comes to something that looks good so this is undoubtedly an exercise in futility. That said, I think this image sums it up.
On the left we have a thin piece of embossed and painted aluminum. On the right we have a substantial, real...
Tob: At the time, no doubt that snake looked "OK" to the powers that be but by today's standards, it's pretty sad and thus, disgraceful to the Shelby brand. "Loud" had nothing to do with my comment.
CV: Amazing how much technology has influenced items like the old "snek," huh? That one is downright UGLY.
For illustration purposes, I think the '13/'14 sneks look great but I do think the new one is sexier and, of course, it matches the car. Also, for the vinyl cutters, the new version is...
Tob: It's amazing how people can see things differently. When I first saw the little cobra plate badging on a 350, I thought it was disgraceful. :-) Different strokes, as they say.
"Gay it up?"
I guess the old saying is true, one man's treasure is another man's junk. :-)
Still not sold on adding "GT-500" below the snake...gonna have to constabulate on that one a bit.
<laughing> 4V, I TRIED to correct the typo but apparently, while you can edit a post, you can't edit the title.
Sorry about not having a "SNAK" for ya. :-)
BTW, the plan for this decal is to go on the rain tray. I plan to put clear vinyl over the decal and I hope the heat doesn't deform it...
When Ford first displayed the new "snake" logo, I liked it much better than the original so I ginned one up to share. The PDF is attached and this is what it looks like:
