I concur. Some of the most iconic Mustangs of all time came with some sort of stripe package right from the factory. GT350, 500,Boss, Mach1, Etc.

Yeah, they never put stripes on fancy european cars.









can't stand those blue wheels, but hey, it's their car, whatever they like.

So, if you don't think it looks classy, it's for kids, or Europeans don't like them, then that's just like your uneducated opinion man.

Its sort of like this...

If you need to put Stripes on it for people to get its a Mustang....

It would be akin to putting 20 inch Chrome spinners on a Bentley.

Kinda ruins the classiness. But, if its the nostalgia of saying I have a hat tip here going to the Mustangs of yore, then that's a personal call. Although those cars from yesterday had those stripes to celebrate their name sake's successes in Leman's and other racing victories.

Saying I'm uneducated on the purpose of these stripes is a bit ASSuming on your part. The fact that the examples you gave show stripes on European cars only shows that those owners for whatever reason possibly have more money than brains and are either young at heart, are actually young and suffering from affluenza or possibly American owners.


Yup I said it....

Stripes aren't for everyone. That said, some of the hottest mustangs I've seen have stripes. I recall seeing a blue 15' mock up with stripes that I'd drive. One of you guys also has a black with candy red stripes that is a beaut.

I think the stripes on my '07 looked really good, and unique.



I'd like to get some stripes for my '12, I think it's too plain as it sits now.



edit: better pic of my old stripes:

+1.

I don't think stripes are needed but they can look very good, or just kinda 'meh' as in they are just there on the car and nothing more.

I get compliments daily on my "unique" stripes. They are not for everybody and I didn't put them on there for anybody but myself.

For the record, I run a BMW Dealership, and BMWs CAN and are often ordered with stripe packages on them. They are most often on the M Series vehicles and have a distinctive "European" flair to them.

If I were to get a 2015, I would be looking into stripes as one of my first mods. There is nothing like making your car your own. Why would I want the exact same car as everyone else already has?

I'll tell you why.... You're an American dealership.... Americans like those corny stripes. And Europeans with western tastes do, too. Nuff said.

Besides ....

In the USA the stripes on the Mustangs are possibly more common than those without. So technically speaking. Adding stripes would make you mostly like everyone else. And we've seen just about every iteration of stripe on these Mustangs. The simply stated is more often than not.... The car that stands out from the crowd. And exudes just class and sophistication.

That's why.

In our current times... Minimal is more. Cleaner looking and just modern. You can choose to move forward or continue to keep a foot stuck in the mud.

Kinda agree but the Le Mans stripe for example, is so overplayed on these cars it ain't funny.
No need to put those on a modern Stang except the 05/09 maybe.
The new car? Naah.
