Hi, I just bought my first Mustang, a 2016 GT with a mixure of performance/premium packages. It has both top racing stripes and side pinstripes. I'm not sure if I really like the Pinstripes though.

Should I remove the white stripes? I don't like the "Mustang" but it might look weird if the Pinstripe ends early if I remove it so I think it's an all-or-nothing deal.

Opinions wanted

(one thing I have noticed is that it's pretty unique.... I haven't seen many Mustangs with pinstripes... now that's either due to it being just unique or cheesy, not sure which)

My vote, ditch the whole stripe and the mustang script. The stripe looks cheesy and the mustang letters are just wrong. You don't need to tell everyone what your driving, the car is so iconic even ford didn't put anything on it. You can look at it and know what it is. If you look, there is no ford badge or mustang lettering anywhere on the outside of the car just the running horse logo on the grille and the wheel center caps.

Is that even a factory option or custom job?
I would probably remove them but to each their own.

They are definitely not factory, they might be dealer installed. it's an old school used car trick, if have a car that has been sitting around too long throw some cheap pinstripes on it to get attention and it will sell. Some new car dealers have the same mentality, but more likely it was done as high profit margin add on. 10 bucks worth of cheap vinyl striping from vato zone and then sell it as a 300 add on, undercoating and paint protectant are similar dealer scams

Oh yes I learned long ago to decline every add-on and extended.
Really wish Ford went the way of CarMax... haggle free no BS.
