All Mustangers who have racing stripes (or plan to get them),
I have a new 2009 V6 Silver Mustang which is 3 weeks old now and I wanted to know your thoughts on racing stripes.
Which ones are better to install? Vinyl or sprayed stripes.
I got these estimates:
Vinyl: $600 material and installation, 4 hours
Sprayed (painted): $725 bumper to bumper, $550 Hood, roof and back (no bumpers)
I like the painted look especially because of its finish. It looks much better than the Vinyl stripes. Moreover $725 is one hell of a deal especially when I initially heard painted ones cost much more (around $2000). The only reason I am little hesitant is because once I get them painted, there is no turning back, and I am not sure how painted stripes would overall effect Resale value (lets say after 2 yrs I want to upgrade to GT). Vinyl ones can be removed anytime. Any Idea?
Also can anyone tell me if Matt Black stripes looks better or Glossy Black on my Silver mustang? I saw some google images but couldn't make the difference, wondering if you guys have seen it first hand....
If you had to install racing stripes on a V6, would you do them bumper to bumper or excluding bumpers?
Do I need to question the quality of Paint? If so can someone help me with the questions, coz I think $725 is wayyy too cheap for painted stripes.
Thanks in Advance,
Sam
