I LOVE that look, especially on SOM, it looks so awesome. Same with the black painted lower bumper if you have any plans of that.. Only thing I would have done different is instead do like "525 HP" because that's what you have at the flywheel on 15% loss...
Thanks everyone for the compliments! 
Answering some of the questions..
- Why 447? Well, at the mustang dyno I hit 414hp on the wheels. I was told by Ellis and TJ that on a Dyno Jet I should add 8% to that number, so... that comes to 447 hp on the wheels. I could have gone with flywheel hp but I rather have a smaller number on a decal and a bigger number under the hood, not the other way around. If in the future I gain any more hp, I'll change the stripes but that will happen on at least 20hp increments.
- The stripes were bought online at fourthcircledesigns.com - they're a sponsor here.
- On the install process the only thing I did was to use the claybar on the area and help holding one end of the decal in place. The actual install was done by a professional that does this kind of stuff for decades. I did help, but all the cutting/trimming/fine-adjustment was done by him and it was well worth the $35 labor he charged me. I would for sure have messed up if I'd have tried that on my own.
