Getting stripes tomorrow

Black stripes on the Legend Lime. I agonized endlessly between black and white, but settled on black because it matches the interior- and I like the way it looks. But tomorrow is the day. Then I'm taking it back in later in the week to get footwell LEDs installed. I thought about trying both these installs myself, but I think they are a little over my head both in terms of time needed and know how...

Getting them tomorrow- when I went in to get the work done I found out the installers dad was in the hospital. He's a Mustang guy, and definitely didn't want anyone else doing it so I rescheduled. Will post pics tomorrow

Here's the new black stripes. I'm really happy with them. I tried to take a photo of the footwell lighting but I can't get the color to show up right- it's a real deep ultraviolet purple.

Why do the stripes on the rear look wider than the front?

Must be the angle of the pic - they are the same width all the way across- the iPhone camera distorts sometimes. And i did it really quickly too, It was starting to rain and get really windy- I'm going to polish it up this weekend and take some better shots. So, yeah dunno- but i see what you mean in the photos- whack.

Looks good! Are they painted on or vinyl? I'm looking into getting some stripes on my new mustang an wondering what's the best method. I'm thinking painted stripes but know that will be a good bit more expensive.

If I can do it again I would go the painted route. after a couple of years, the vinyl has really shown its wear

They are vinyl- i wanted them to match that bottom rocker art.... I'll have to see how they age- if they start looking bad after a few years I figure I can always pull them off and do paint, right now they really do look amazingly good.

I had to go look ... No it does not wrap under the entire spoiler, just around the edges

Sorry I should have been more specific I meant on the trunk lid underneath of it. Lol I looks like it is in the pics. Regardless it looks great.
