I'm trying to locate the "Fader" Style Door Sill Side Stripes like the ones that come from the factory on 2003 - 2004 Mach 1's.

Can't seem to find them online anywhere.

Anyone know where I can purchase them from ??

Thanks, --- still can't find what I'm looking for at that site. Maybe this picture will better describe what I'm looking for.

They fad from about the rear of the door to the rear wheel opening.

Any other suggestions ???

The Problem with Putting These on an 05 is they are Cut in three Pieces to an 04 Body Style. The Lengths would be different. If you contact Grapics express Maybe they Could Custom Make you a one Piece Set.

Are you sure they are cut in 3 pieces? I ordered a side stripe kit from graphicexpress that was for an '04 and it was all one piece. And in actuality, it would be very hard to install it straight if it was in three pieces, even if they were all on one piece of backing paper. Not to mention it would cost them more to cut it. I think these stripes are all one piece, meant to be installed with the doors shut and then cut after installation with the cut parts being folded around the door, etc. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Back to Square 1.....

I called Graphic Express. The lady said they did not offer any type of "Fader" stripes that looked like the factory 03 - 04 Mach 1 stripes.

I'm not totally concerned with them going from front wheel well to rear wheel well. I planned to cut off the "Mach 1" lettering and they could be short - sort of like the "Steeda Sidewinder" stripes.

Any other suggestions - Anybody ???? THANKS IN ADVANCE !!!!!!

Can you get your dealer to put them on, just like they were replacing them on an '03-'04 Mach1? I'm pretty sure they have to come one piece... but you could ask to find out.

I am Going by The Picture which appears to have cuts. It may be one piece. I would check on the Pre05 site and see if any mach 1 Owners have replaced their Stripes.

That picture would make me think it's 3 pieces as well, but I just don't see that being very practical. I'm pretty positive that the graphicexpress side stripes are all one piece though.

LOL... I understand that. I'm saying that the stripe comes in one piece. You install it as one piece with the door closed, so that it is straight across. Then, you cut the stripes right where the gaps are between the door and the fenders. If you get the stripe in three pieces, even if it's all layed out on one piece of backer paper to make sure you intall all 3 pieces straight, you'd have to sit there and try to line of the cut lines with the doors, which would not be an easy task. The vinyl is going to shift a little anyway when you start to squeegie it.

I have ordered 2 different side stripe kits from graphicexpress and both came in one piece. But obviously you would need to cut it at the doors yourself prior to opening the doors. I thought that was understood and was why I didn't say it.
