What do you think about GT/Ecoboost/V6 Mustangs with stripes? Poseurish? Tacky?

[MRGTX]

I added them. Thought the car looked too plain without.

Looks sharp! The matte black along with the bold contrasting yellow looks awesome. It goes with your aggressive grille/intercooler and hood vents.

Thank you. I originally had silver pinstripes, but the little voice told me to swap for yellow pinstripes. I think the little bit of yellow is what it needed to pop. The stripes match up to the intercooler pretty well too.

Completely your choice. Personally, I think Mustangs can look fabulous with or without stripes. It’s that type of car. For me though, if I went for a stripe it would always be more of a subtle one.

originality 10/10 .... nice effect havent seen that style before

They look good. Would not take the "dumb" advice from the red torpedo. Such a hypocrite statement being that California special comes with vinyl Stripes.

9/10 doctors missed being top of the class. so 90% are underachievers it could be said lol.
Fortunately the bar is high enough, the 90% are still quite qualified, and the initial statement is disingenuous to doctors. Well same for the mustang. 10% or less are GT500's, so the rest are under performers. They are all mustangs, that's the base qualification. What 'specialties' you apply to it if done in good taste only make it more desirable. The original poster degrades the marque by inferring a base model with stripes is akin to a Kia. Thats the real crime here. Troll.

Thanks my friend, although I can’t claim complete originality! They’re from a UK special edition Mustang from a couple of years ago called the 55 Edition. I thought they were rather neat and subtle so I got them for mine.

Uh... Caroll Shelby did not invent racing stripes... 'Vettes had them in the 50s as did Ferrari and some other European brands. Anyway... Even among Mustangs, Shelbys weren't the only ones with stripes... Bosses, Mach 1s and (non Shelby) Cobras all had stripes, and stripes for any Mustang are a Ford option. People who worry about "posers" have an insecurity issue... Love my stripes

How about the factory vinyl ones that aaaaaaah stick on?

Cheap stick-on stripes are the issue with me. Paint or go home.

 

[MRGTX]

A couple more. Still haven’t actually washed the car yet but the pics hide the dirt and water spots well enough for my standards.

Quality vinyl is fine by me... They can be changed or removed. Paint is forever and style subjective... Harder to sell a car with non-removable stripes.

Love the subtle look of mine, most don’t notice them in low light. 400$ option and makes a huge difference in appearance.

That's a beauty.

LOVE the main body stripes!

Your car, your choice.

I have a Bullitt, and am getting it wrapped in gloss Army Green with black roof and mirrors.

No stripes though.

I'm not crazy about the white stripes on dark cars. But Ford did offer a ghost stripe I think it was which was a pair of silver stripes that faded toward the nose. I have this option on my shadow black 17 and it looks good. Helps break up the solid black paint.

I love my factory stripes. White stripes on your blue GT would look great and would pop. I say go for it. You know you want to! YOLO!
