I'm guessing this was not a Factory option. It was a personal choice.
My Opinion does not matter BTW. It's just my personal choice and should have no bearing on the decision for others to place stripes on their cars. But, this thread asked for opinions and therefore I offered mine. If you are of a different opinion that's cool, too.
Stripes however are a retro thing and unless you come up with something completely unique it's not making it your own.... It's joining the "seen it been there and done that" club. The cars that are remembered are able to make a statement without relying on stripes.
The cars that intimidate and turn heads today are now "murdered out" in a Monochromatic presentation. The Murdered out black, silver, and white cars make a bigger visual impact than the passė stripes. even murdered out Kona and Grabbers would turn more heads and be more memorable.
The car shows nowadays... The younger crowd looks at the cars with stripes and decals and are like..." That's cool". Then when they see the murdered out cars slammed and monochrome... They're like "WOW"!!!

Before this gets out of hand, let's just all agree that stripes (of all sorts) are just another modification, no different than wheels, spoilers, scoops, lowered suspension, tints...etc. It's your car, it makes the statement that you want it to. That is why we buy Mustangs and not Corollas.

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.

Again parked beside a murdered out variant without Stripes ... No contest.
Again my opinion is you're talking out your *** in defense of your decision for stripes... Again so been there and done that.
But, that's not to say I won't get stripes .... Maybe when I hand the current car to my kid, after I get the new Mach 1...... With all stripes deleted.

Disagree all you want. But, your 10% figure doesn't account for every iteration of side stripe, rocker stripes, fender stripes as well as full on race stripes.
Possibly, but no more inaccurate than your statement

Again, your opinion - not everyone's

Again, I never defended stripes vs. no stripes. I simply corrected a few misrepresentations made by folks that do not know

Try and make them unique when you do.
