Yep that'll be part of it for my car, but I'll have to wait until I get the hood and spoiler I want before the stripes go on.
We'll see though....I won't commit to anything until I lay the cash out for it.

Kristina, this pic was posted on my dealer's website (stang they just sold). The blue stripes look awesome on the white. I saw this car when it just came onto the lot without the stripes. Part of me is wishing I'd gotten this one! If you're looking for a good shop to do stripes for you, just contact Eastgate Ford in Hamilton (www.eastgateford.com) and ask for their guy. He also did my car and he did a great job.

I'm still waiting for word on my car being scheduled...I'm trying not to think about other White GTs with blue stripes running around my area but ya, i know they'll exist.
i'm just hoping that the other bits i do to it will still make it unique
cheers!

I'm not a fan of light blue, but the stripes really make it look great.
Who did the job - shop, dealer, paint or vinyl?

vinyl is the norm - it's basically just stickers as opposed to actually painting and clearcoating the stripes. you can also clearcoat over vinyl so that they're not removable, but that's a lot of extra effort.
this way, if you ever get sick of them or sell the car, you can peel them off.
for vinyl, find a wax or polish that has UV protectants in it so they don't fade, like Zaino. i don't think carnuba waxes are the best as they may leave white on them...not sure though.
