RACING STRIPES

Hey everyone, I just got racing stripes put on my 05 White Mustang. It looks incredible, but Im not sure if I over paid. Apparently they used a laser to make sure it was placed on just perfectly. Well I paid $600.00, and Im pretty sure I got ripped off by the dealer. Im just looking for some feedback to solidify my hunch.

Your hunch is solidified...never let the stealership do any wok that isn't warrentied, they make their $$ marking up stuff like accessories and install for them.

BSM's pre cut kit is like 120-, then maybe 150-250- for professional install.

Woah, that's a lotta cheese for some stripes. As long as you are happy with them. What color are they?

RE: RACING STRIPES

If they're painted then that's cheap, but if they're vinyl then as the others said you paid heavy.

RE: RACING STRIPES

I believe mine where about $250 total installed by the dealer. You should definitly talk to them, mine took an extra day to put on because of the heat and the price stayed the same. Sorry to hear about your problem.

How about a picture of the $600 stripes? What color stripes did you get? I got a quote of $215 for stripes which includes parts, labor and tax from a local graphics place. I've heard he's done a lot of stripes and he does a good job.
