My dealer has a black Roush with stripes in the showroom. They had the hood propped up ... while I was looking at it he dropped the hood down and asked me to look at the stripes. They were a good inch off-center. It was really bad. The interior was the standard cloth seats no IUP. These cars really arent worth the extra money just for some easily added ground effects and ducktail.

I hope they spend a little extra time making sure the stripes are centered on the Stage 3 ones.

It has the appropriate bumper for such hostile the weather conditions. I'd go for it, whatever the price.

We saw a Sonic Blue Roush w/white stipes when we took my car in for service. The salesman that looked all of 14 said it was a Stage 1. I wish we had taken a picture even if it would have been with the crappy camera phone. This one had wheels and tires (I have no idea what kind, but they were sharp!) and they had redone the interior, no IUP I think, but the seats had been re-upholstered with some blue inserts and a few other things added. The salesman and I had a good laugh because he walked over and looked at the original window sticker still on the car and said "Hey! This is cheaper than your car!!" I said I don't think so...and then we found the Roush sticker on the windshield, if I remember correctly it was $37k.

It is a 5 spd. No IUP, but it has the "Roushified" interior trim components.

I actually like the stock rims over the Roush rims. The dealer told me that Roush is trying to push the cars out and they don't have enough rims for all of them yet. They had a black one a week or so ago with the stock rims too.

Nice find 454, but the stripes (cheapo ford stripes) still look like poo!!!! 10" stripes would make this one look a lot better

Looks like they didn't finish the stripes either (they should be on the bottom of the chin spoiler as well).

I really don't like it... between the narrow stripes, the unfinished stripes, and the stock rims (which look undersized and out of place), it just screams "rush job."

Well, I actually sort of like the narrow ones (and for what it is worth, the stock rims)... Maybe because I have seem so many wide ones.

But the stripe width on the attached red car really looks optimal to me.

Those stripes on the red one do look pretty good.

The stripes on the Roush also don't extend over the lip at the front of the hood either, which probably isn't helping anything.
