I have a Black 07' GT/CS Vert with Tan top and Blk/Parchment Interior...I was thinking to either put on Matte black racing stripes or possibly Parchment to match the Interior and Vert Top....any suggestions?? Anyone ever seen pics of Tan stripes???
Secondly....do you think it is bad to put stripes on a GT/CS...due to the fact that is not how "It Came"??

 

If you like stripes, put them on. After all, look at all the cars that have stripes on them that never came like that from factory (mine is a perfect example I say do what you want. As for tan stripes, can't say I have ever seen anyone do that so here is a thought. Go to a sign company that would have a sample of vinyl that closely matches the car. You don't have to get it installed. Just have them roll out a piece of vinyl and lay it on the hood of the car (again, just lay it on there. don't have it installed). You will get an idea if you think it will be a bit too much. All I can say is I think verts look silly with racing stripes while the top is up. Now when the top is down, they look really nice.

 

I was thinking the same thing also about the stripes with the top up... here in Florida the only Vert with stripes I have seen was when it was down...never seen one while it was up...so no idea.

 

Parchment vinyl stripes. I bought mine from Ernie Haire, they installed white stripes on my convertible. They said that I could get gator orange and to match the blue

 

Thomas,
I don't think it's '' bad '' to put stripes on the GT/CS...
Well, I hope it is not because I have black stripes on mine.

 

These are a pearl finish, like on the Lincolns, not a true white but not Parchment either, I think it looks good but it's my car. Dealer questioned me a few times about the color but when it was done they liked it too.

Oh BTW, mine are painted on.

 

Why your bumpers are not painted? Would look much better with the stripes running all the way down

Painting is the only way to go with Racing stripes...

 

It was double the price to do the bumpers . Its not just a few little squares, but pulling the bumpers and completely repainting them. Now that it has been wrecked and the front bumper has to be replaced, it will have stripes on it.
Now that I think about it, wonder what they will charge to do the rear .

 

How would you all feel if you saw a black GT/CS with purple stripes? =D

 

Black GT/CS with matt black stripes - now there's an idea

I like my white GTCS with gloss black stripes.

 

I would do mystic stripes if my car was black. I saw it on the car below and had to take a pic. The pic doesn't do it justice though.

 

I know you already had them Stig.... they look amazing, but I was wondering since I have a Vert w/ Tan top what do you all think??

 

Once my customer is done with his car, I'll ask him if he doesn't mind me posting a few shots of it. What he is doing is putting gold Shelby stripes on his Black GT/CS. They will go bumper to bumper, and cover the hood scoop. Now, here is the kicker, he REMOVED the GT/CS stripe and ordered a gold rocker stripe from Baltimore Street Mods, and the stripe says GT/CS where it would say GT500, GT300, etc, in front of the doors, in the exact same font as the factory stripe! He stopped over at work with it partially done (rocker stripes on, and hood done), and WOW!!! This car when finished will look SICK!!! It will look like a GT-H, but its a Cali Special, with custom GT/CS rocker stripes instead of the higher applied black stripes!! I'll have pics (if allowed) soon!!!

 

Hey man - I wasn't being precious about them! I got the inspiration from other cars here

I'd be interested to see them on a vert with tan too though

 

I am the guy that 05fordgt is talking about. I have learned much from this forum, so I'm happy to share pictures! I wanted a GT-H but (a) Didn't want to spend $70K+ for a used rental car and (b) I wanted a manual! I ordered mine with the Parchment and Black interior, and applied the stripes myself. I tried to be as true to a GT-H as possible. For example, the spoiler is NOT striped, because the GT-H is not striped there either. My stripes are 2" apart, whereas the GT-H's stripes are a little closer. I could not adjust this because the stripes had cutouts for the winshield washers. Having said all that, I didn't want to try to pass mine off as a GT-H. It's a GT/CS, so it still wears that proudly on the side. I hope you like it!

P.S. I haven't posted pictures to the site before, so please accept my advance apologies if I need a couple of tries...

 

OK. Let's try the pics again. I think they were too high resolution, so I cut them down...

I hope this works...

 

A+++. I love it, especially the rocker stripe. Very tastefully done and one of the best looking rides I've seen on here

Plus if your a Pittsburg Pirates, Steelers, or Penquins fans, you've got the team colors.
