Not sure whether or not I should put these on? My cars black and I ordered them in yellow to match my yellow calipers, was only thinking of using them as temporary till I order full on yellow racing stripes. Though I feel like it’s more of a corvette thing which is why I’m a bit hesitant.

First I had red ones, which I hoped would have matched my interior color better, then black. Now I just have black rocker stripes.

The origin of them goes back to early '60s Cobras, so don't fret that Corvettes and other cars wear them....

I've got the same MM / Red Line interior. Looks like you also have some stripes on the hood? I've the OTT stripes that start very faded out at the front of the hood and get solid black by the time they reach the windshield. I've been looking for a stripe that matches both the fade pattern of the black stripe and the red line interior. Doesn't look good. I do like the black hashes on the fender.

My hood stripes are a Ford Accessory, they're a matte black that almost vanishes at certain angles against Magnetic....

I have always identified those as GS (Grand Sport) stripes as in Grand Sport Corvette. Putting these on a Mustang would be the same as putting GT style rocker stripes on a Camaro. Ulitmately, the title is in your name and you're free to do what you wish.

Yeah I see where your coming from to, but I was like that at first to but once you see them on I feel like they change the appearance and make it look dope

Wait... Are all those Dodges running around with them paying homage to the GS too? I've been rocking them for a few years now. :)

Pretty sure it was a Cobra thing first....if not, original Grand Sport from the same period.

It's not a Dodge thing or a Vett thing ect.. It's a RACE thing. Back in the day, The 60's. Teams had more than one car running. The cars would look the same. The fender hash tags were used to tell them apart when they came in to pit. It was faster than looking at the numbers.. Look and some old photos of the cobra teams running. They had them..Two Blue Cobras and one of them had the fender stripes. Vetts used them, every one had them. They don't belong to any one car or make

Never knew that but thanks for your input, more excited to see mine now with the stripes.

I want the bottom stripes also but there’s one that fades away which looks sick
