I know where the owner works or at least used to work.

I have been out of commission for over three months due to an injury that kept me in bed and I had not driven by the place they worked at in about 4 months so I haven't seen it in a good while.

But I go close to that place a lot and I'll try to remember to take a shot when I do. Their stripes are actually painted on.

I thought it would when seeing renderings and such but in real life it REALLY does not. Orange with black looks good but the opposite just does not.

These stripes were painted on too.
I would take a look at one in person before I did this if I were you.
I LOVE stripes on Mustangs, and although I THOUGHT I would like this combination,
I REALLY ended up disliking it quite a bit.

Not trying to push you away from it, but at the same time I am STRONGLY suggesting you see the combination on this car in PERSON before making your decision.

After doing a little research on orange stripes I actuallay have two opinions Competition orange stripes on black look horrible but Grabber looks BadA$$ and to be honest with you its quite unique just try googling grabber orange on black kind of hard to find. But your in luck I did find it on ebay and attached the link also attached pics of both compitition and grabber on black stangs you be the judge. threw in a pic of some grabber on black leather seats to for fun. Just a thought throw enough grabber orange accesories on there and the Grabber Guys might let you into there club. lol

Competition orange was the color of the stripe on the black stang in my town.
In real life it looks HORRIBLE.

That grabber looks MUCH better in my opinion!
