tlea7 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 OK, I'm thinking I will probably go with a vert and my understanding is they aren't available with lemans stripes (at least w/o custom order) What is the consensus on putting them on after the sale as far as future value, marketability etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the stripes afterwords, install yourself or have dealer or any good paint shop install them. As for value, refer to the hundreds of guys with crystal balls who post here and can tell you "exact" value in 30-40 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlea7 Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Here is the link to my thread on putting on stripes. I found that in a search and just finished reading it. Great job! Those stripes aren't cheap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Leicht Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Those stripes aren't cheap though. Nope, they sure are not. Cost around $1400.00 thru Ford. Then another $500 or so to have them put on unless you are confident in yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLB8SNK Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Yes, I was sort of upset that on a coupe, which cost less, you get the stripe, then on the already more expensive vert you have to pay close to 2k more for the same thing you would have gotten on a vert. Personally I think they should have came with, with and delete option for less money, or an add option with little or no cost. Oh well, it is what it is, but on my ebony vert I like the stealth look of no stripe and a subtle side stripe, but if I had gone with any other color, I would have wanted a stripe. Good luck.

DubbsFaris Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 You can get a red stripe on the vert if you get an 08 from the factory, but you are limited to black or white for color selection on the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? I don't see any red stripes available aside from the 07 Red Apearance Package and that wasn't availbe in a vert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that thinking! That also means i should get 2-3k back for stripe delete option!! FoMoCo please send cash (srry dont take check or money order) to... And then i wake up from my dream I also agree with the stealth look... im presonally a fan of the no stripe but to each his own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
