two-thirds of the way down the page. They're listed as Anti-theft tags.

I think you need to be a body shop to buy them.

All it took to get one made a couple years ago was a copy of the title and a picture of an existing vin tag.

Looking good.

I really like that color, did you go with the traditional emerald green color that was on the foxbody's in late 91 and 92, or your own mix?

[Z282SLO]

Very nice. Looking forward to seeing the car completed.

it is the original "prime" color of deep jewel green that was originally on the car. and keep the flat titanium silver metalic on the bottom as well.

Looking good man, u keeping the rims?

Great color. Looks fantastic!!

Cool color combo!!

Don't see many of the fox body gt's with the titanium bottom anymore, most people had the titanium gt ground effects painted the same color as the car due to fact the flat titanium paint would either fade badly or just rub off when cleaning/waxing. I had a 92gt in ultra blue with the titanium bottom. It wasn't more then a year after I purchased it new that the titanium gt trim looked like crap, it oxidized easily and faded quickly, especially the center door moldings similar to the way the center door moldings on the cobra's changed in color after years outside, but much worse.

Very nice, my first fox was a 92 LX 5.0 in Emerald Green with Titanium cloth and it is hands down a pretty color! I wouldnt mind finding another looks great nice work!
