Stripes

[DIB2016]

Nice ride man. Picked up my GT350 HE from Sykora last month. Salesman hit me up when that one hit the lot. Clean AF.

As one of the few Shelby owners without stripes I am compelled to explain my reasons. When silver was offered as a color in 2020 it was the final straw that made my decision to update my 15 Silver GT PP1 to a GT350 but I specifically shopped for one without the black roof and no stripes. I like the almost Aston Martin like look of the S550 shape and I've had loud/flashy cars before and now want something more understated. I think the GT350 is aggressive enough in styling alone that it doesn't need stripes to stand out. That's just my opinion and what I like in particular. I think the stripes look great on other peoples GT350s esp in some combinations they're fantastic, but I'm happy with my "plain" silver GT350.

For your car, I'd say keep them for a year or so and then peel them off if you want to. It's easy and not impossible to reverse with some aftermarket stripes as others have mentioned.

Silver is a great color for that. Before I found my orange fury car I was looking at an all white stripe delete car to be my basis for the build for the exact reasons you laid out.

My 19 GT350 comes from the factory as stripe delete as the red pinstripe designation for the R would blend in. I had a 16 red GT350 with the black and white configuration. Loved that car but wanted to trade up to the R. I have been back and forth in my mind of striping the R, but when you see pictures at shows and on the Track, the Race Red just says, "you dont need stripes".

GT350 will non be the same looking without racing stripes, it will look "naked". I wouldn't consider buying this car without stripes. I wish the car come out the factory with the painted stripes instead of vinyl though.

^ Agree to keep them since you paid for them........and it differentiates you Shelby from other Mustangs.

Hate to say it ................. After a while I came to resent them. Don't know about Austin metro but I had to time my fuel purchases so as not to attract a crowd. If I take delivery next week they will come off.

It's funny you mention gas stations and maybe this is a TX thing but every time I stop for gas one or more people come over to see the car.

The Czech flag dealer tag is pretty cool, especially since it's so similar to the TX flag.

I didn't noticed Czech flag. But that because I keep staring at OP's avatar

Ya but she needs an accessory delete.

It is a Florida thing too...maybe just a Shelby thing??

Vinyl stripes? No thanks. Remove them IMO

 

[Ironhead_3]

Me? I like the stripes. Its part of owning a shelby IMHO.

What he said!

If you want your car to look regular, take them off.

And, Big worm is located an hours drive from me !

Big Worm did my stripes 4 yrs. ago and they still look new: no wrinkles, no fade, no complaints.
Nice rack btw.

Debating OPINIONS is useless.
If you like stripes, enjoy them, if you like stripe-less, go stripe-less.
