This is not Ford's stripe package. It was added by a local shop.

I like it. I would put it on a GT though and run the stripes all the way over the bumper.

Giving me heart attacks!

The shop that does them does beauttttyful work. Thats where I'm having mine done- but finished up, not stopping.

$400 right? Does TC add it to the sticker?

Looks great in person- trust me- you know that silver I am always yammering about? She got hers here.
Im not a big fan of the missing pieces, but its still spectacular work!

The stripes are off-centered on the yellow one. If you stop by there, look at the tip of the hood.

I didn't see it on the sticker, but I didn't look very hard.

I agree, it does look like a good job, just looks funny in the back. The front not so much since there is a gap anyways from the grille.

I'll be the naysayer then...

Look closely at the white over blue, look at the area around the gascap, the cuts look like they were made with scissors, and in one of those pics I can see where it looks like the vinyl is coming up.

Besides they shouldn't have have cuts around the cap like that.

Just looks dorky without the bumpers and the spoiler not done either.

That's a VERY BAD vinyl stripe job IMO

I was told by the silver owner they "did her up a deal" on it. Hers looks really really nice though.

Off center? Frick! :bang: Good thing I am broke right now . And the yellows missing some stripes....Factory bolt on spoiler? Same as the last ones? Thats not ESP?


I don't think I am allowed there anymore.... :nono:

Looks terrible. The cut around the fake gas cap is ragged, and the lines look off-center on both cars. Not the mention the rear stripe stops at the bumper.

I don't mean to be mean :angry: but I gotsa agree with six and blue. Those stripes look like barf , especially after we have seen them done oh-so-right. I'd pay $400 to have them take OFF the stripes!

Just look at the comparison below showing the stripes in the back:

Trained eye, Good job men.......... :worship: :worship: :worship: For saving me! I'd die if I woulda went with these folk and they would have broke my horse. I never looked close up at her car, just from the street to the lot every day- it still looks good far off.



Is that white one Peter's?

I agree. I don't think they did a very good job on the stripe job. I think the stripes are too wide and the cutouts around the trunk emblem look choppy. I like stripes a lot, but I have seen ones done much better than this. At least they're just tape, so they can be peeled off and reapplied!

Of the two alternatives Packman posted, note the white/blue has the stripes going into the license plate recess. That looks better than the grey/white that leaves that area body colored.

Im not big into stripes at all,but if your gonna get them, do the right thing and get a good body shop to paint them on and then have whole car wet sanded and polished.

I have now officially decided just to leave mine alone after seeing this! Someday when I get all my ducks in a row- vents. I don't use those windows to drive anyway. The men vetoed my ducktail.

That car dealer :scratch: HUGE, prolly the biggest around here. BUT infamous for adding goodies before the sale. The ONLY cool things I have ever seen there are the Roushes and some crazy silver 04 v6 with barb wire stripes and aftermarket leather seats(very worthy). Now I gotta go up and look closely at the silver I was over.

That particular yellow I think is the one I wanted from them and they didn't want to sell me.Wasn't striped up at the time. Turned into a slightly nasty incident when I told them I got a yellow anyhow elsewhere when they asked me why I didn't keep my appointment to buy one of their skinned down 04s(desperation drives......).

They did a terrible job. Around the badge and rear brake light is horrible. I am glad they didn't attempt to do the bumpers, that would have been a nightmare considering they can't do something as simple as the badge.

It would be kind of hard to remove them later if you decide you don't like them.
