I think they are saying as opposed to an eleanor kit where they go all the way down the bumper?

i think if the stripes news goes around more, more people will get the torch red. i think that color will go best with stripes than any of the others

I think stripes probably work better on the "flatter" colors rather than the "deeper" ones. So, they should work well on Black, White, Silver, Yellow, Torch Red, and Sonic Blue. Probably won't work well on Redfire. Windveil Blue and Legend Lime, I'm not sure.

Your stripes are painted though, right?[/QUOTE]
Sorry for late response (I was being roasted on the other thread for being a doubting Thomas, lol...............)

The fact that you asked if my stripes are painted is AWESOME -- that's the bar a good decal job should be judged at; to confirm, mine are decal stripes indeed (color is Metallic Electron Blue).

I forgot to add earlier that what takes so long to apply full length stripes is forming them around edges, emblems (if any) and curves. Cutting them is tough too, because you need to use a razor and don't want to cut into the paint which is sooooo close to the ultra-thin decal material it makes me sick watching the process

Yea I'm glad to hear that ford will be offering a stripe package ,but I'm with drew on this one going over the front end and rear end as well makes the mustang look much better .Thats what I plan for mine but with the twin trailing stripes beside the lemans ones and blacking out the back end as well between the tail lights .This is what it should look like when done as I'm going to get the lime green .

.... they're just plain cheesy when compared to full stripes which is what should dealers should have as the mandatory style.
Atleast the Ford stripes look like they have the proper spacing between them. Those large gap tooth stripes just don't look right:
