Loved the stripes on my 2016 but have no desire to add them to my 2022. Maintenance was a big factor for me, the black stripes were a pain to keep clean and they water spotted like crazy. White and Rapid Red is a great looking combo IMO. Agree with the poster that suggested a black pinstripe (or another color of your choosing). Gives it that little extra fine detail.

Edit: stripes add at least 50 whp by the way 🤭

I think the white on red looks fantastic. I strongly prefer stripes in contrasting colors. Says the guy with magnetic gray and blacked out badges.

I think the white on red looks great too and from time to time I toy with the idea of putting white stripes on my Rapid Red GT. But it’s a convertible with a black top and I’m not sure how that would work.(And a black accent package I should add.)

I‘d probably just have to go with black.

I understand what you mean. I was originally thinking of black but the gloss white grew on me and when I saw this photo I was sold. Black sounds like a great idea for your convertible though. We had a 2012 red candy mustang with black top and I can picture it with black stripes. Good luck.

You can do whatever you’d like and of course get other views as well like mine which I will say NO. I think the stripes belong on the Shelby’s.

Do what you want, and don't let others decide for you. But the photo you posted is a GT350. Your car is a 21 EB. The fronts look totally different. And if I were you, I would go crazy with it. Get lime Green, or Yellow, or something totally ridiculous. Because you only live once.
Did you really look at that picture? That is first time I have ever seen a GT350 owner disguising his car as a EcoBoost model. 😂😂

Someone pointed that out. At the time it was the closest thing to what I want. I changed the photo last night and there should be a photo of a rapid red ecoboost with the white stripes posted now.

I like the white on red but I prefer black on red.

It's your car do what makes you look at it and say "wow"

A side note, 99% of the mustangs I see with stripes are eco-boosts or V6's.

I love bright white on race red. However, I prefer painted stripes that are cleared over, but you can't take those off. No one here I think has done that, unless they got the GT500 painted stripe option. I don't like "feeling" the stripe. Your car looks good and the stripes make the paint pop.
