You're thinking of the Super Stripe, BSM should have it, check with them. I nearly went that route, but liked the classic Shelby looking stripes. Good luck to you with your plans.

yea worst part was that i wanted to have it put on the car when i got it, since it was sitting in the showroom and hadnt been outside often and the guy said it would peel, I could've still had them put on the car at that point and added it to my car price, I want the one that has the big stripe in the middle with one smaller stripe to each side of it. I think its put on the pony package mustangs, im not sure, or where to get it.

Your dealer is on crack, they will not peel off(if installed properly, per BSM instructions). They'll probably fade(if left outdoors for extended periods over the course of 4-5 years) before they'll peel.
To install, it takes patience(if doing it yourself) and heat(installing on a warm, 80+ degree day, makes the stripes adhere much easier, but your working in extreme conditions, so make sure there's plenty of sun block and cold liquids to drink). I had them installed, but a boo-boo on the front bumper(flying crap on freeway hit the front and luckily just scratchedthe stripes, but not the paint)and I re-striped the bumper myself(I'd definitely tackle an entire job now), it took about two hours to do the front bumper, but I took my time and the stripes went on perfect the first time with hardly any bubbles(which made squeegeeing easy)and still look great and haven't shifted or bubbled up anywhere. I say if you want stripes, do it, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner(trust me
).

now how hard was it? i wanna put black stripes on mine but Im not sure as to how much time it'll actually stay on, dealership told me not to do it because it'll peel off since it wasnt done when the car was freshly painted
