Ghost stripes on 2013 GT/CS - Love 'em or Hate 'em?
Count me in the folks who liked the first iteration of the solid stripes seen on the GT/CS when it first appeared on the 2013 Ford Mustang Gallery. The new ghost effect stripes just don't do it for me at all, more like 'why bother'? I think they actually detract from the appearance as opposed to none at all.
Now if you go with Black or Deep Impact Blue, it really won't be as noticeable as the lighter colors, so I added that as a choice in the poll.

Blue car doesn't even have stripes.. White has the ghost stripes and I believe ford has even updated their site to reflect the actual production stripe. I thought the first pics with the solid stripe looked terrible. The first thing I would of done with that solid stripe would of been to remove it.

Doesn't that prove my point that these stripes are lame cause you can't see 'em? Before I hit reply, I pulled up the same pic in Gimp and jacked the contrast and brightness....

Yeah, because of the angle of the shot, and the colors, you can't see the lower stripe across the front fender and door, but you can see the hood stripe, as shown in my other post.
Time for a new monitor!

I know where the hood vents are, and yes, they are painted black. Now let's say for the sake of argument that I'm right, and there are stripes on the blue car (look at the same location on the hood bulge as where you can clearly see the stripes on the white car).

We can agree to disagree then, it's cool. Once they start arriving on dealer lots, or we get better pix from Ford, we'll know for sure. It will be interesting to see what future posters say they see.

Well there is clearly a fading black stripe on the white car, although it looks to be photoshopped on rather than actually painted on the car. The blue one does not appear to have anything.

Scroll down to the bottom of this page to the White GT/CS, do these looked photo shopped? There was some debate as the pix from the Ford gallery, but here's one from an auto show.
