To stripe or not to stripe? That is the question.

I just got my '12 Kona Blue Stang and I'm considering putting racing stripes on it. Can't decide what stripe color I like best.. Please post pics of your striped Mustangs!

I was debating striping mine. When I was, I was looking @ the Super Snake stripes. Mine would be in matte black.

If you haven't seen this then here you go. You can customize the color of the car and the stripes. And they have lots of stripe options. Maybe not he one you want exactly bu close enough so you know how it will look. Heres a pic that I did of a car colored like mine with stripes.

So has any one heard that sonic blue is coming back for the 2012 mustang? It's all over the Internet, but I have called 3 different ford dealerships, and no sales people have heard of this for 2012???

It's in the brochure (and on the cover), but not available yet. Dealer thought it was suppossed to be a run 2 option, but it isn't.

Mine came with white stripes and i love them now. I hate the PAINTED on pinstripes that the dealership put on though. I'm going to have those removed eventually though.

Your dealer PAINTED pinstripes on?! Wow. I hope you didnt order that car to spec, cause if mine came in and they decided to 'throw in' painted pinstripes I'd probably kill someone!

I ultimately opted not to stipe - at this time, anyway. But white would be my first choice, second would be silver.

I didn't get factory stripes because I didn't like white or black that much. I'm seriously considering adding a GT500 style over-the-top stripes in gunmetal.

My dealership got the car from another dealer for me. I didn't know about the pinstripes until I went to pick it up. When I first saw the pinstripes I just figured that they were vinyl. Didn't realize they were painted on until later. Now i don't know what to do. Should i have the dealer remove them and take a chance that they mess it up, pay a professional or just leave them alone?

Best looking stripes on Kona IMO are the red stripes in the SVT Perf. Package, best looking GT500 combo out there.

+1

Could not agree more - but make sure the ones you are looking at are the ones from the SVT option package; they are different than the "standard" Shelby GT500 over-the-top stripes. They are dynamite!

Mine's 1 of 6 with a blue stripe. If I had ordered it I think I would have gone with white or silver but the blue works ok.

Nice! Mines 1 of 1 with the blue stripes for the Sport. If I ordered I probably would've gone a different route too, but it has grown on me.
