Oops, one more question about stripes...

[jimb05]

What do you guys figure it would cost to have real stripes painted on the car. I am thinking either white with blue stripes like the "boy racer" prototype or performance red with white stripes in the same pattern. I wanted sonic blue with white but I NEED the red interior . It is just too cool. Anyway, any info would be appreciated.

BTW, still no 05 stangs around my neighborhood. Brandon Ford is one of the highest volume sellers in the country and they still don't have any. They have about 30 2004(Roush, Cobra, etc) though. Maybe they are holding up the delivery until they move some more of the 04s.

i bought a silver gt last night and i cant make up my mind if i should just do the hood roof and top of deck lid or front bumper all the way to rear bumper

My 05 GT is silver (picking it up tomorrow, dealer called me today to let me know it was in, but I didn't get the message until after they closed. Stopped by and looked in the window - it looks great!). Anyway, I'm planning on black racing stripes (10" stripes with a two inch gap between them) over every surface that is painted silver. Just doing the hood, roof and trunk deck looks awful, that's the dealer option. I actually bought a vinyl stipe kit from edecals.com for about $200 and I've got a pro who will install them for $80. I know there are some purists here that hate tape stripes, but my plan is to live with the vinyl for a few months to make sure it's what I want and then get them painted on. No idea what getting them painted at a reputable shop will cost, but I know that vinly is less expensive and they're removable if you discover you've made a mistake. You might want to look into tape stripes (at least temporarily) if you're the least bit unsure about the color/size you'd like to go with.

that sounds like a good idea to go with the vinyl first. sweet, i'd like to see how it comes out

if your gonna do stripes painted on and the full length is the only way to go!! yeah its more expensive but it will be worth it! trust me
