Applying Rally Stripes on Mustang..
Hey Guys, my name is Chrome i am new to the Mustang forums as well as to owning a Mustang. I recently purchased a 2007 pony package redfire v6 in which i've decided my first appearence upgrade to be the addition of dual White Rally Strips from bumper to bumper. I called ford for recomendations of who applies their stripes and was given a shop here in Idaho who gave an appraisal of $500 for the order of the stripes and the labor work. After doing a search on Ebay i've found you can buy a full kit for about $165 after shipping. $500 seems rediculously high for something as simple as striping the car, am i wrong? And how hard would it be to install myself and what all is needed and entailed? Feedback would be greatly appriciated and i am greatful to have stumbled upon these great forums!

baltimore street mods is the way to go. i just got done putting 2 10" gloss black stripes on my mineral grey mustang yesterday. did all but the hood and roof by myself and all i needed there was some one to help me hold the tape so i could find the center on the roof. did it by myself in just a little over 6 hours that included cleaning the car first . but as long as you take your time and read the instructions at least twice you should be able to do it yourself. will be posting some pics in the next day or to

wow 500.00 seems a little much for just a set of stripes. I went to a buddies body shop to get an estimate on painted stripes, and he quoted me around $1100.00 for a full set of stripes, front to back along with a complete re clearing to really make my car shine. I'd say stick whith BSM for the do it your self installation.

I'm not sure who he got them from, but check with DylanFan... he did his himself and they looked awesome.

I only say this because i have done what you are thinking and i ended up regreting it. Crappy Vinyl stripes are a dime a dozen and they look crappy when compared to quality decals. Ford stripes are about $350 ? vs ebay stripes that are $160? What does that tell you? yeah, yeah the dealer is more expensive but from my experience there is a reason for it.
