marcuskeeler, Are those the Silverhorse racing rear quarter louvers? Did you have any problems putting them in? I think those look awesome.

The GT/CS stripes are very nice but TOTALLY in the wrong place. Talk about a design meeting fueled by Crack ! [:'(]

They would look awesome down just above the rockers, where God intended all Mustang stripes to be.
Negative, the GT/CS are the only Ford side stripes that I do like.

No offense, but I would have to see that in person to see how those white stripes look on the hood with the black stripes on the doors. I am not sure I like it so much.
I've seen one with flat black hood stripes, and they match the factory CS stripe. You could also change the color and get a new side stripe with the fade done properly.

CS Stripes

Has anyone really looked up close at the GT/CS stripes? I can't really be sure, but it is some sort of weird patterned material which seems to have some sort of texture. I am going by memory, because my car is in storage right now. I just wonder where I would get wider stripes to match that. I thought about trying to match them exactly and doing the GT stripes in flat black for kind of a ghost effect also.

I might just have to keep the GT/CS how it is and get another mustang to stripe.
Yes, patterned material.. Would be pretty tough to match it, even by a good painter. Im going to pull mine off and have someone paint them back on lower on the rocker, and srtipes at the same time..

Now, do i keep the fade? do it to both? a touch "brighter" to be seen better? who knows.. but trust me there wil be pics to share

The material is not patterned, it's the print. The dot matrix is how they perform the fade. When I came up with the design of my fading rocker stripes that I sold here last spring, I did quite a bit of research into the GT/CS stripes. They're a dot matrix fade printed on clear vinyl. I haven't looked at the black on black ones specifically, but I would assume they're all the same. If you were to go with flat black stripes, they would match perfectly. And I would stay true to the GT/CS legacy and keep the stripes where they are. I think flat black stripes would look awesome and match up with the factory stripes very well.
