So I got my mustang about a month ago used. Its an 05 and don't really like the look of the mustang stripe but I am afraid to take it off because I don't know if the paint wont match so my question is would their be a ghost mustang and strip if I do take it off the previous owner said it was garage kept which i think should help.

I took my side stripes off when I got my car and didnt notice anything after a good wash.

took mine off about 9 months after owning it to switch it with the revers C stripe. I drove it all winter here in new england and i noticed no difference in color either

pop the hood and see if the paint on the front fender is the same as under the hood...if the paint looks faded on the fender compared to under the hood...you will notice, if not, your good!

I took my gt/cs stripes off at a car wash with the water pressure from the hose. No problem with the paint but it’s a 2009 car. Tried pealing them off first and it was going to take a long time. The car wash only took about five minutes.

so I just did it not really sure how long i took but it was like an hour what I did was hear up a corner with a hair dryer and then just pealed it off. There was very little residue left and I just used a dry paper towel to rub it off here are some pics

I am sure glad I did this
