Thumbs up

I was thinking of putting some side stripes on my 05 Stang but don't like the ones that go one the 05 V6s. I was wondering if anyone has tried putting the earlier style MUSTANG stripes on their car or if anyone has seen one? :scratch:

Here is a 05 with the stripes

05 Stripe

Here is a 04 Stripe


What do you guys think?

The 2005/06 Stripes are Cooler!

I like the offset, smaller Mustang writing myself too.
But with that said I will remain stripeless.

Actually I don't much care for the 05/06 style. First "mod" on my '05 vert was to remove them.

I like the classic style stripes more.

The factory stripes scream "JC Whitney!!" I ordered and installed plain black "Shelby" style rocker stripes on mine.

Got them from Autothing.com in Chicago.

Sorry about the grainy pics.

I loved the ones I had on my 66 Stang. I wonder what they would look like on a 05. :scratch:

I had a graphics place do these on mine. I like the wider stripes than the factory ones.

All my stripes are custom cut vinyl from a local sign shop... They did a great job.... I actually get the most comments on the door accent... it really adds a lot of depth to the door... (i've attached another pic). We actually did the door on a whim... it really turned out fantastic.... LOL!

Looks good guys

Still wondering what the 04 stripe looks like on my car I having a hard time coming up with it in my head. :scratch:

Maybe it's something that Ford tried but it didn't look good. Oh well.
