I thought it would be a good idea to have one thread that included everyone's stripes pics all in one place.

Post pics, vinyl/paint, price, and MOST importantly measurements.

Hopefully putting them all in one place will make it easier on a lot of people and keep us from asking the same questions over and over.
So go ahaed. Show off your stripes.

EDIT: Please add whether your stripes are tapered or not.

I like the matching "black out" panel. It's different.

I was wondering the same thing but since he is in Canada I'm assuming those are snow tires.

yes, I have the nice stock rims with spinners for the summer. This way my tires last longer and the salt will not hurt the finish of the summer rims.

Wow - white on red looks great. Did you put them on? Are they glossy?

Thank you.

I had a professional graphics guy put them on for me. It took him a little over ten hours. He said that the 05 Mustang is definitely one of the hardest cars he's ever had to work on.

In terms of being glossy, I wouldn't characterize them as that. They are definitely bright (as white would look on a contrasting color like red), but they are not glossy.

Do you have any other pics from different angles? I am going to order a GT soon, but I am still trying to nail the color down. Red/white stripes, White/blue stripes or maybe Sonic Blue with white stripes.

Thanks -

You know, I've been firmly in the "wider stripes" camp, as the stripes from Ford stink.

But this looks very very good. I'm actually shocked that thin stripes can look so good.

Regarding the color blackout, that's actually a traditional look you could find sometimes on the original pony.

I have no idea how to add multiple images into 1 post so here are a few. These are old pics. Crappy weather so I have no new pics with the new exhaust. Oh well, once I get pics next month with the new rims and tires then I will post them.

10 3/4" with 1" gap
