acesound Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I had the misfortune of having a chip hit the hood at the blue stripe and it looks like the high quality vinyl came off. Do anybody else can confirm this? In the past I thought they were painted. And by the way, recommendations for a clear bra or full vinyl/fabric bra with straps and everything (removable,black) ? Best regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Correct, and they have been vinyl since the beginning with the 2007 GT500 on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhr1961 Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Correct, and they have been vinyl since the beginning with the 2007 GT500 on.... Didn't some of the 2011-2014 SAI GT-350's come with painted stripes? Or are you just referring to the Ford produced Shelbys?

The OP has a 2016 GT350 and yes painted stripes were an option from SAI during the 2011-12 GT350 run. Update: changed the years from 2011-14 to 2011-12 as technically GT350 painted stripes did go away after 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I was just referring to the Ford produced cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Johnston Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Steve, Were painted stripes still an option on the 2013-2014 GT350? I thought that the option was dropped because of the extra time to get them done. I do like having mine painted on my '11 GT350 as it is a hassle polishing the vinyl ones on my wife's Mustang GT. It is a real maintenance time issue. The vinyl stripes require vinyl polish to prevent swirls. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKEBOY Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 This is sorta off topic here...but I know where there's an FGT for sale here in Lajolla Calif with "painted on OTT stripes" on the Monroney to the tune of $5K! I didn't even know that Ford offered that option on those????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPDATE: It does appear that the painted stripe option was no longer available for the 2013-14 GT350's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
