RE: Haters for the Side Stripes
I've always liked the side stripe. Some Mustangs look good without, but generally I prefer them. I think that yours without the side stripe looks incomplete -- the side stripe completes the package in my opinion.

RE: Haters for the Side Stripes
When I was first contemplating getting one of these yummy, newer 'stangs, I saw one with the side stripes and thought "that looks tooo adolescent".... but maybe it was the color combo choice perhaps, but when I saw the 'stang that I wound up buying on the lot with the side stripe (exterior sport appearance package), with black on windveil blue... it just said, "buy me... you know I am yours!". And so I did and I love the look!

I know what you mean. I was actually considering a Red one with the Pony Package, but once I saw the only Legend Lime a few cars down it was like a magnet. Then when I saw the 17' inch Black Painted wheels and the black accent stripe that was all she wrote. To me it has a great tetro feel, and becuase I was drawn to it so strongly it truly feels like mine. It's been three weeks and I still get a big silly grin everytime I go to get in it. So back on point for me the sides stripes work.

Love the side stripe, I've never seen that color combo before with the stripe, looks damn good! I remember when I was shopping for my stang, I test drove a red one with a GOLD side stripe (since it was the only one with the interior options I wanted) and almost barfed when I saw my reflection when driving by the glass doors of the dealership. Once I saw one with a black stripe, however, I decided I really liked the look of it.
Every once in a while I start thinking about what my car would look like without the stripe, but I don't really know if I would like it....too plain or something.
Nice looking car dude!!

Not to hijack.. but it's been 3 months now since I bought mine... and I still get a big silly grin every time I eyeball my car while walking up to it... I say to myself... "what a badass good looking car!"... lol. Usually, I get pretty "routine" with a car after only a couple of weeks of owning it. Not sure when this Mustang high will end! Maybe no time soon!

Wow, I can't believe there is actually some controversy over one's preference of stripes. BTW - I think it looks great. My '06 pony car came with the gold side stripe which was a big deal to me, although hard to match if I want others. My 65 had them, as did my 98 - I guess I am hooked on the retro look of stripes. I'm glad to see someone combine the side with the top stripes - I had considered that.
I don't think I've seen anything but some great looking Mustangs while I've been on this kick of forums, so I thank everyone for letting us have a chance to see some great cars.
I am amazed at the fussing that goes on between different styles and choices. If you find the car of your dreams and it makes you smile keep it and show it off. Don't fret what others think, just make it yours. I waited a long time for my Mustang, and drove 500 miles to find the one I really wanted. Many dealers tried to talk me into something else, but I held out. I know that someone came along and fell in love with the car I passed over - isn't the the mystic of the Mustang?
Keep the pic's and stories coming; I'm having a blast reading and learning from all of you.
