S-H-E-L-B-Y Letters

[Rob_03Mach]

After months of deciding rather to space out the S-H-E-L-B-Y letters on my trunk, I finally made the move... I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. I like how such a minor change made the whole car look different. :banana:

Did you re-use your existing letters or get new ones? I ask because I'm about to do the same thing.

I ended up buying new ones, 7R3Z-6342528-B. I wasn't sure at the time if I could get the old ones off without damaging them. Ended up that I got them off with no problem and put them in the same wrapper the new ones came in.

Job isnt' bad at all....just have to take your time getting them off, clean up old tape, measure and place new ones on...

Let me know if you need the measurements...

Love the centered letters...those stripes are awesome with the spacing you did on the letters as well.

Rob, what brake light covers are those? and do you have any on the headlights?
I used the film but it shortly ruined the bezels and is not easy to pop off and on...
someone needs to make an easy headlight cover!!!!!!!!!

I just did my also, but I purchased the template and bought new letters but could have gotten away with reusing the old ones. If anybody is interested I will sell the template cheap 10.00 and sell the letters for 15.00. Either way you will like the look when your are done.

The picture of the Super Snake with the measurements I posted is not my car...! Sorry...:beer: But if you do mean my Shelby brake light...it's OEM.

The wife and I did this as well. However we used the existing letters, 3M outdoor, tape measure, and rubbing alcohol.

That's the stuff. Its actually ALOT easier to remove later/over time than the black oil based adhesive the factory lettering has.

The lettering template isn't at all necessary if you know how to work a tape measure and painter's tape. Save $20
