alright so I just went to my local ford dealer and saw two 08 gt500s with what speared to look and feel like vinyl striping. I thought they were supposed to be painted! Please tell me the dealer isn't this dumb

 

Hey there,

Yep - they are vinyl - right from Ford. They are supposedly UV coated though - which helps to protect them from the sun.

Hope this helps

Thanks

wow I had no idea... Just another reason to go with the delete

 

Unfortunately it doesn't look the same without the stripes. That's a credit I'll conceed to Carroll Shelby.

amyb would be proud!

 

they Are Very Spendy If You Decide You Want Them Later!

 

A complete set is something like $1700 - NOT something to add after the fact

1700 bucks for a gt500 set of vinyl stripes??!! That is insane! I would rather go with the JLT intake/tune and put on another 100 horses for half the price!

 

hopefully BMS will make some cheaper ones

 

I had mine painted on for $1700.

 

exactly!

 

that's bull, and another instance of Ford milking the Sheby name for everything they can.

 

If only the car was free for the 45,995 they charged for the stripes.

 

If you have the willingness to learn something new, buy BSM's generic 12-inch wide striping and cut them yourself. It costs $59.95.

It takes a lot of patience and knowledge of a few basic rules on how flat striping needs to be cut to apply to a curved surface and over sharp bends. Some pieces will require more than one attempt but the end result is definitely worth the effort. I know because this is how I did it.

 

I am with Willie, and I used a roll on vinyl, razors, tape, friends, beer, friends, pizza, more beer, water(you gotta use soap and water or rubbing alcohol) and beer.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot about the pizza and beer... Thanks for the reminder Brandon.

nice job willie!
