Do you feel that the mustang G.T. should have the twin lemans stripes down the body and had this as an option?!? for me I'm going to have a set painted on and hopefully not kill my warranty for the paint on the car.What do you think?

I'm having metallic pearl stripes painted on my mineral grey 05. I'm not worried about the paint warranty, because I'm have a Ford autobody shop paint it.

Shelby Roadster

As an FYI, the Ford GT doesn't come with stripes either. However, the GT has them as an add-on option for $5,000! OUCH!

If you wait, you will be able to get them factory on the SE.

Avalanche

But I just can't wait.

And yet you can get the 04 Cobra in Mystichrome for $3650. For the whole car. And it's color shifting. What a rip Ford.

Avalanche

Usually the higher the carprice tag, the higher the option prices are.

Ripstang

Sorry ,I can't wait ...and for me it's a must have...and yes I will get a ford paint shop to put them on as well.

MustangMan311

Well from my view, I can wait, I mean, I couldn't even drive the car if I had it! (Check info below avatar)

Ripstang

Man ....thats a loooooong wait ,but still when you buy yours will you get the lemans stripes??

Avalanche

My mother in law lives in Raleigh, I swing by and take you for a spin on 85 or 40, after it comes in.

MustangMan311

Heck yea! They will be my first mod. But I'll probly be drivin around in the woods within the next year or two in my dads busted 87 Toyota Truck lol and Avalanche, I might have to take you up on that offer

Avalanche

We'll take your Dad along too. Maybe heill love it so much he'll buy you one...well one can hope...

MustangMan311

lol i doubt it. 'hey dad ya know the 05 handles much better in bad weather than the older ones! Oh and what makes you think a Porsche can't do that?' he will never buy one lol... he wants an Audi TT roadster or a Porsche Boxter S... why? dad, why?

It would seem that doing anything to the factory paint, regardless of who touches it, could possibly result in later warranty problems. I am curious why you say having a Ford auto body shop would prevent that.

Yes because a $40000 car is the same as a $140,000 car.

I was thinking about getting the stripes on mine, but I think I'm going with ghost flames instead.

Flames seem to be a muscle car staple which is going the way of the dinosaur. I mean, I know you still see flames at car shows and sometimes on the road, but not nearly as often as you used to see them.

Ripstang

If anyone works for that ford would you mind asking to see if this would void the new car warranty if the stripes ,flames ,etc were applied to a new 05 even if it was painted at a ford dealer as I would sure like to know!! B)

Purple Hayz

Yeah I wish we could have gotten em as well. :angry:

Perhaps even more than the 18s (a close second!) This is the picture I've had on my desktop for months, and had Ford allowed us to build them just like this, I would have one on order by now. As it is, I settled for Redfire, which I like immensely, though it doesn't exactly lend itself to the racing stripes. Seems more a classy color than a sporty one. I have yet to see a stripe combo that works particularly well with Redfire....Anyone found one that works?

Roughly $200 for vinyl stripes. Get those first, paint them on later if you really like 'em .
