mrsuds Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 I may be in the minority on this but I have been playing around with pictures on the convertible and I am actually liking the final product. I think that the car without the racing stripes is a little too subdued for my taste, other people may prefer to delete the stripes. Please make it an option to have the factory install the stripes on the convertible. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ford doesn't come thru for you maybe you can order the stripe kit from Ford . that way you will at least have factory stripes even if you have to do it yourself. Good luck with your request though. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not part of the "standard" car, at least make it a factory option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGT500 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I think it will be possible to buy a stripe kit through the parts counter and leave the roof part out. Well, it would be fun to stick them on there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Count me in, too. I think it would be a nice option for the 'vert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastbackman Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I agree. I'm not getting a vert because I just prefer the hardtop in the new body style, but the vert would be much more appealing with stripes. If I bought a vert I would probably paint the stripes on myself, but for 44k you should be able to get the factory vinyl and get in and go.

crispy23c Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Dependent on the color....I will most likely go with ghosted stripes if I choose a dark color, painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Have you not decided on a colour yet Crispy??? KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Have you not decided on a colour yet Crispy??? KingCobra. I'm pretty sure I'm going with Tungsten....I like the subtle color shift in oblique light. I believe Alloy is too plain (but I have to see it in person, or at least a good photo). I have 2 satin silver vehicles now. The only other choice (I think, for now :rolleyes: )for me would be white w/blue stripes. And you??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsuds Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm just curious to know if anybody has tried laying down vinyl stripes on a car? I'm 99.999999% sure that its a vert for me but I want stripes. Black stripes would be my choice but they are not an available color yet. I could paint them on but after spending that kind of coin on a car, I;d have a really hard getting it pass my personal money manager (aka wife).

You do not want a pink Shelby after a couple of years. Red for sure is looking fast and great but after the years :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Most higher end products like waxes have UV protectors in them. I have found they work well for preventing pre-mature fading. KingCobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCobra. You are correct. I had a red T/A (my only non-Ford product), and it spent some time outside. I kept it waxed, and after 9 years, it still looked lipstick red. Just keep 'er waxed regularly!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could paint them on but after spending that kind of coin on a car, I;d have a really hard getting it pass my personal money manager (aka wife). The coupe tape stripes won't fit the convertible decklid. The convertible will get the big stripes as an option in 2008. The factory tape stripes are not so good (gaps at all the ends--particularly around the CHMSL and license plate; paint orange peel shows through). The Ford guys expect more than half of the buyers to delete them and have them properly painted on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
