Black has grown on me... a lot.. in one day. Might just have them fix the sides and stripe above the windshield and call it finished.
Excuse the grainy pics...

BTW, I think you should keep the black stripes, and get the rocker stripes fixed.

I know what you mean about getting lost but that is a better problem then clashing with the back of the car which is exactly what you will have with the white stripes. Three different textures/finishes and three different colors. white stripes on black car only with this rear end treatment.

Won't these work (available in 17,18, 19, and 20, and in a variety of finish configurations).

I love a good black N blue combo but don't like the dark stripes on the 2013 Mustangs for 2 reasons:
1) They hide the contour of the front grill openings. White stripes really help accentuate the shape.
2) The dark stripes get lost in the black deck panel on the back.
I ordered a white SVT GT500 with blue stripes. Since the stripes are so dark, I will most likely take them off the front bumper and the rear of the car. The stripes will just be on the top surfaces & the back of the rear spoiler. After a TON of searching, I was lucky enough to find pictures of one car that didn't have the stripe on the front bumper. I like the way the solid white bumper breaks up the 2 grill openings.
If you're gonna have them take the stripes off anyhow, you could just take the stripes off the front bumper & the back of the car to see if you like it any better before going with a total change to white stripes.

I think white stripes look a WHOLE LOT BETTER on Grabber Blue than Black. Especially for a girl, but regardless, it just looks better with white stripes, with that particular color. I would make them change it back to the way you ordered it. This is nice, but, ehh, it's only OK. I could live with it, but knowing there is better for Grabber Blue I would never be 100% happy.

While grabber blue isn't exactly my favorite color out of the current line up, I agree that the white strips do look better than the black ones. The black stripes just seem a little too harsh on that light of a color. I think having the panel between the tail lights painted and decaled to match would make a big difference as well.
