Has anyone seen one of these on a real 2013 201A yet? I'm trying to decide if I want to go with it or not.

The configuration tool shows a solid line:


While the "Appearance Package" details show something different, but the wheels in the picture don't look production (Ford logo), so I kind of question it:

 

That second picture is a 2012 (plastic skirt and FoMoCo logo center cap). I personally never liked the tape stripe and got the appearance package with tape stripe delete, which is just the deck lid spoiler.

I assume it will be the same stripe for '13?

 

The 2013 configuration tool doesn't have any options for the tape stripe like the 2012 one did. I'll have to check with my dealer to see if it can be ordered that way, or if they can just take it off.

 

Turns out that the dealer can order it with tape stripe delete, even though the web configuration doesn't offer it.

 

that's a nice ride you're going to have!

 

Yup. I ordered mine with the 201A package along with the tape delete(a no cost option). I ordered the car before I saw the 2013 stripe but in my opinion, the 2012 one looked tacky so I figured I'd pass. After seeing some pics of the stripe delete, I'm glad I did.

 

posted in wrong thread, sorry

 

Saw a black stripe on a black car. Looked similar to the 2012 picture. Not my cup-o-tea.

Here's a video I found

 

When I got my car, I drove it home from the dealer and removed the rocker stripes myself. However, when I did, the car appeared to be taller and shorter. The stripe fools the eye into thinking the car is shorter and longer.

When I had my Le Mans stripes added, I had "correct" rocker stripes added as well. The rocker stripes REALLY do help the appearance of the car.

 

Sweet car man!
