some ppl go to the ubiquitous ebay.com and search on "mustang rally stripes" to auction on rally stripes.

My favorite is Graphic Express, but the don't offer GT300.
My second choice is Auto Trim. They're not EXACTLY what I want but they're the closest. The other two look like they were done by a 5 year old. :notnice:

hey stangnut,
i have graphic express rocker panel stripes. they are absolutely top notch.
email graphic express. they should be able to do a GT-300 rocker panel set for you with no problem. changing the "5" to a "0" should be easy for them. i'd think a couple clicks of the mouse and key stroke taps is all it takes.

We just got our '05 Performance White GT back from the painters tonight. It was dark when we picked it up so no pics yet. We had the classic center and rocker panel stripes done in Satin Silver. Looks awesome - especially against the Light Graphite interior.

I'll see if I can get some pictures out here by the weekend.

I like it a lot. The Satin Silver stripes over the white really changed the car - yet the stripes are fairly subtle. It gave it a "sporty yet classy" look.

I probably won't be able to get any pictures until Friday night. I'll post them as soon as I take them.

I can't wait to see them. You did the right thing in painting them. I have seen a bunch of vinyl and none of it looks close to the quality of a good painted stripe. I did the Zaino thing to my stripes and they look perfect with no swirls.

IMO the vinyl products will diminish in appearance over time.

Hurry and post

Thanks I photoshopped it a bunch of times till I got it like I wanted it. I'm putting the stick-on M U S T A N G chrome letters on the front fender lower stripe, next week, gotta wait for it to set.

My favorite stripes are the 66 GT and the 68 GT "C" stripe.... so I combined them
