I've always been sold on all black mustangs. But I saw that Ford accessories offers either black or silver stripes. So i'm asking someone to photochop the Satin Silver Metallic, and the Mineral Grey Metallic with black stripes. As well as the Black with Silver stripes. Oh and if this has already been done, could someone post a link. Thanks in advance. Here are some starting shots. BTW i searched and didn't find anything.

Make sure you get a good look at what stripes your dealer has before you let him put them on the car. The ones in the accesory catalog are the real narrow ricey looking ones.

Let a vinyl custom graphics/sign shop do it. They do commercial vehicles and have the tools. Most dealers simply pay them to do it, Ford dealers do lots of commercial business and surely have someone on board already that does up trucks for their contractors. Companies like graphic-express.com will surely have properly tapered 3M quality custom sets in no time.

Man, I hope so because Ford has no clue when it comes to stripes. (almost as clueless as they are with seats, but that's another story)
No one every came out with a good set for the '99+ Stangs.

In another post it was said they are 10" wide all the way from front to back.
Unlike the Shelby stripes which are tapered.

Sorry. Should have said '01+ GT. I haven't seen anything (except maybe the 40th Ann. Edition stripes) that look right going over the hood scoop.

when they paint them on, do they have to put a clearcoat ontop of the stripe? Does that hurt the paint around the stripe at all. Like can you tell? Hopefully not unless it is a crappy job.
