bpd1151 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I know that he is a fairly busy guy, however, I wanted to let the community know that Ken has recently signed up here at EB Forums. His screen name is: Classic Cars and his profile page is here------->: http://www.ecoboostownerforums.com/member.php?208-classiccars Ken is/was the one who created those infamous SHO vinyl hood stripes that some of us, including me, are rocking. I know there have been a few inquires as to where to obtain these and Ken informed me that he found it easiest for him to sell them on Ebay. PM me for the link, and I will send it to you. ......or contact Ken himself if you're interested in where to obtain this item. On a side note, I noticed he also used my car in his online advertising! Very cool! :thumb: Welcome aboard Ken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Just checked Ken's ebay site, he's also using my car in the ad (among others)! Ken does great work and is very prompt on filling orders, you can purchase from him with confidence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicsSHO Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 According to eBay, he's shipping 15 min from my house! Guess I'll have to check it out & support a local guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaFoSho Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 The silver stripes look great on your black finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssho Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 That looks great! I'm considering black stripes for my Cinnamon SHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssho Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 The weather broke allowing me to put on my stripes! Just the look I was after...understated...like everything else about the SHO. You can't really see the strips from any distance, just looks like a shadow. But, up close, you see them well.

SHO-MAN Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Looks good Mark, I wish my car was as shines as yours. I haven't had the chance to wash it in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiccars Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Looks good Mark. I believe this is the first set of "Black" stripes I sold that went on a "Cinnamon" colored SHO. I like the look. Thanks again and enjoy. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLIP-4-SHO Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Yup! Received mine in the mail today. Maybe this weekend I will apply them. Stripes and twin Turbo letters. Sent while out & about with my SHO on Tapatalk!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Nice! What am I waiting for? Im ordering today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIP-4-SHO Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 That's what I thought and that's why I just went and ordered. Now I cannot wait to get it done. Sent while out & about with my SHO on Tapatalk!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssho Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thanks all - The stripes look great and weren't too hard to apply. I used the wet method with a spray bottle (water & baby shampoo) and alcohol water mixture for finish. Everyone really likes them... just goes well with the understated look of the Cinnamon and black tinted windows. From a distance, the stripes just look like a shadow. Next on the list will be black caliper covers with silver SHO engravings. Then I'm done dressing it up. Thanks again to Ken for coming up with this idea and proving those to us. I recommend them to everyone for that extra wow factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imminent Rueage Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Are you guys ordering from 57belairboy? If so, and that is ClassicCars ebay name, I'm curious as to whether they are planning to offer flat black? I'm debating between that and silver for my black 2010.

bpd1151 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 He'll pretty much make w/e color, or finish you desire. Great dude! Shoot him a PM or an email, and yes, that is his eBay name / account. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imminent Rueage Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Well I have been in contact with Ken and he has informed me that the vinyl used for the flat/matte colors is of an inferior quality and that is why they are not offered. Now, I have to decide what color I want to go with. Silver or a dark or light shade of grey...anyone have any input? Here are the color choices. http://www.nepcosignsupply.com/store/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=135 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the color choices. http://www.nepcosignsupply.com/store/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=135 Here is my post with what Ken called dark grey. I think its more of a medium grey, but still looks pretty close to what i was going for. I too was originally looking for flat. http://www.ecoboostownerforums.com/showthread.php?589-A-few-minor-mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imminent Rueage Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Well I got my silver decals today. Put them on this afternoon. Cleaned with soap/water and then with rubbing alcohol. Started with the wide end and applied it, then rubbed across the decal multiple times to ensure it was stuck. Peeled off the top layer and ended up with a bunch of bubbles...I spent like an hour and a half trying to put them on properly and I guess I am just no good at applying decals. Probably going to have to order a second set and just take it to my tint/decal shop to have them put them on. I had a 2000 Mustang a few cars ago and I had put a silver "pony" decal on the rear window and that turned out great so I'm not sure why I had so much trouble with this...and my hat is off to those of you who managed to get 0 bubbles. On the other hand. The quality of the decal seems very good and Ken was a great guy to deal with. I found it quite funny that the Attn: on the package label said Imminent Rueage. The mail man was probably scratching his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Give it some time the bubbles will dissipate over the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imminent Rueage Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I hope your right Crash, but either way I think I'm going to order a new set andt have them professionally installed. The first one I put on has a crease in it where it wraps around to the bottom of the hood and I really don't want these things to look half-ass'd.
