Actual 05 with racing stripes........

Don't think I have seen an actual 05 with stripes yet. So what do you guys think? I think it looks alright.

I like it a lot with the racing stripes. It gives some style to an otherwise bland hood.

is there a reason they didnt actually finishe the stripes

maybe there removing it because it looks terrible !!

Never try to blend colors like Silver/red ..
or Yellow w/Silver stripes Boyd C. on his project 65 fastback

I agree.. I can't think of a single racing stripe color that would look good on that Redfire Metallic. I like the classic white w/ blue though.

Generally I think the darker color should be used on the stripes, not the other way around.

very much so !


I think that one reason alot of people like the Eleanor knock off look.
but let's not get people started about Eleanor again

I picked up a copy of the 05 Mustang brochure from my dealer today and I saw the stripes inside as genuine Ford accessories. The stripes don't go all the way down to the bumpers. I dont know why, but they dont.

then anyone who gets them is a moron because it looks stupid

What about the gray w/ white strip look?

I don't like the way that car looks.

Ever since the first shots of that car came out, I've thought that combo was hot. I think someone had mentioned that the stripes are satin silver though. Either way, still good looking.

I think the gray with white stripes looks really cool. That red one looks like they only did half a job, they need to have them come down to the bumpers.

Brohar,

Definitely like the grey with white (silver?) look on the motortrend pic. Whoever applied the stripes did an excellent job. The stripes go all the way down the front bumper and they are modest in size and nice and close together. A good application job makes a big difference. I have the 2005 Mustang Accessories book from Ford and it shows only 2 colors...silver and black for stripes. See attached. Notice they dont do the bumper either, which I think is a mistake.

If someone really wants stripes, paint them on. Tape stripes look like crap. Always have, always will. Tape stripes say "I'm too cheap to do it right." to me.

I've been leaning towards the lime or black 05. Wonder which stripe, if any, would look good on that color? After seeing the gray/silver and white/blue i may be changing my mind.

Any idea what a painted racing stripe runs these days at a quality shop?

Disagree in that I think the sexiest look is dark blue with white stripes. Looks hot on Classics (come to think of it that's what my 66 fastback has for a paint job), Looks good on Viper Coupes and would look OUTSTANDING on the new stang, but then again that's my plan.

To each his own. The ebay red car shown at the beginning of this post looks kinda blah. Finish the job then we could make an informed decision. As it is the GLASS IS HALF EMPTY.

I think tan metallic stripes would look great on the Redfire, but only with a tan interior. By the way, why doesn't Ford offer a tan interior? I think it would look hot with the Redfire Metallic.
