Added a black bar / blackout wrap to tail rear and waiting for spoiler

[Scooby24]

Not sure what you mean

What hatch alignment?

Right alignment is good. Left needs adjustment. The black vinyl creates a very obvious break in alignment to my eyes. Mine had a similar problem I had to adjust myself to satisfy my OCD.

ahh I see it now.

I just knew I should have ignored the comment, but had to ask.

I had not seen the miss-alignment at all but now that you pointed it out I'm not going to be able to ignore it either, even if its very subtle...

Sorry man...I should learn to keep my mouth shut lol. For what it's worth I know exactly what's wrong....the upper hinge is too far forward. You can see that side is also pushed too far back. If you lift the hatch all the way up you'll see the two hinges...just need to loosen those bolts, push back against the hatch to push it towards the front of the car, tighten bolts and check fit...then adjust bumpers at bottom that just screw in and out to get the height at the base.

Check for alignment at hatch top (too far forward sits lower than roof line by a lot like yours does. Check lateral flushness to 1/4 panel, parallel levelness and gap distance side and bottom. Just a lot of trial and error. You mess it up...just loosen and try again.

Well you gave us a solution so all is well with the Universe.

Thanks for the write-up on how to fix this.

Could you give us some details on what kind of wrap and color that was used? I really like this look. I am waiting on my '22 Cyber Orange GTPE but will be taking it to my local shop to get to PPF and ceramic. I may just add this to my request. Want to be able to talk to the shop and tell them what was done.

I just asked them to make it look like the rear of an ICE Mustang. It’s a design element used by Ford for a long time on Mustangs so they understood. I mocked up several looks before deciding that the “original” was the best. It’s retro but it conveys something futuristic…I think someone with actual design training can explain why that is.

I like the look but I would love to see a close up of the edge detail (especially on the bottom. I find it hard to believe they can make the look not stuck on like a sticker. Since there is no edge or lip on the bottom. The pictures from a distance look really good.

That looks great on the yellow. I think it would work well on the whites and silver too.

The flag on the sides should be flying backwards though.

Easier to do a quick conversion from the rapid red premium with photoshop, so here you go!

Beautiful! Now she'll want those wheels

FYI: The GT logo in not just taped on, it has two clips into the body.

My efficiency hasn’t been the best, so I’ll also add some “Go farther” stripes to the front fenders ?

Also looks good at night with the lights on:

Looks so good!! Do u have a link for that?

Looks like paint. You have to get an inch away from the surface to find an edge, it would be seamless with PPF. Really depends on the wrap though. Thickness varies by brand and type.

Takes a week to settle and get completely flat though. Longer in the winter.

Adjusting the bump stops get me most of the way there except that on the roof. I will put it on the list to make the hinge adjustment.

I agree that looks really good, I keep forgetting how thin that film is. Thank you for showing.

no link. just went to a local tint/wrap shop.

@Mach Daddy and others here: I got an estimate for $300 for the rear wrap job.
Here are other things I asked about. This is my first try at customizations like this.

"The price for the hood in PPF is $650.
The price for the rear mirrors in PPF is $150- $200.

The price to tint the 4 windows in our XR plus 70% is $400.
This film is the multi-layer nan ceramic film with 98% heat rejection. Backed by a lifetime warranty.

The price for the front upper windshield 4" sunblock strip is $45."

Tint in PA has to let 70% of the light in and it looks like the GT PE already has slightly tinted windows (?)

Do these prices seem reasonable and about right? Im in south central PA between Baltimore and York.
