RUBY RED S550 MUSTANG Thread

[BeauxXL1200]

curious as to where you got the stripes? i've been wanting to change mine.

Danielle -

You might want to check out Big Worm Grahpix. Their stripes come pre-cut and are ready to lay down. And their material is top notch.

I'm almost done laying down the second set of gun metal pin stripes as I describe above. Got it all done except the front bumper, which I'm about to go finish up. I like the look of having a thin strip of ruby red between the matte black main stripes and the pin stripes.

I'll post a few pics when I'm done to see what you guys think. :cheers:

There seemed to be enough variation from theirs to the "correct" style that I never went back to theirs.

I had never seen a 15+ with the style left over from 10-14 side stripes/graphics. It's good to see though that there was a bit of free form variation. This means I've effectively seen five different side stripe/graphic combinations on the 15+ cars.

my car isn't a Roush, and is just a self-done conversion, and i've been apprehensive about the side graphics, but seeing that my car came stock with the faded hood/trunk stripes my car has looked "naked" to me for quite some time.

Okay. I see now your inquiry was directed to Mike re side stripes. I think the side stripes look good.

Finished my pin stripe change. I think the stripes look better now with the 1/4 inch gap b/w the main stripes and the pin stripes.

Before and after pics.

Well, I can apparently only upload one pic at a time from my iPad. The one above is after moving the stripes away from the main stripes. Here's a before.

They both look good, the gap makes the stripes look wider overall, a good thing in my opinion. Although I prefer the look of the pin stripe without the gap.

How hard is it to remove stripes if you don't like them?

+1 without gap

Removing the stripes is pretty easy, especially if you warm them up with a a heat gun or hair dryer. They just peel off. :cheers:
