I can't tell from the pic if they are painted or vinyl. Anyway, you should be able to bring that pic into any good sign shop and they would be able to duplicate them. Personally, I don't like them.

if your going with vinyl then any shop can make you strips in any width you want it doesnt have to be a kit or something thats just for the 05's or even a mustang , they have vinyl on rolls and they cut it to what ever you want, also if you go with vinyl make sure they give you a warrenty on fading or pealing if possable

only certain vinyls have warranties regarding fading but definately not peeling. Shops are not responsible for any damage done to vinyl on cars due to how the owner washes the car. I have seen a lot of damage done to vinyl because someone didn't have a clue on how to take care of it. If you bring your car through an automatic car wash that uses brushes your vinyl will not last more than a few years, if you are lucky to have it last that long.

Anyone taking their car through a wash where brushes are used deserves to have their vinyl come off!

bubbles will only appear during the application. They would not all of a sudden appear later on down the road. Also, if you stick with metallics or vinyl made for automotive use it will have at least a 5-9 year warranty against fading. That is why I tell people to make sure you are buying automotive grade 2mil vinyl. If you get 3 mil calendared vinyl, such as cheapo red it will have already started to fade on the top of the hood within the first year. Yellow is also a terrible colour as far as fading goes.
