Default stripes?

Has anyone here installed stripes on there car? I like these but I don't know if I should do it or should I have it done for me. Anyone know if the Ford dealer ships install these stripes or does Ford have a catalog or something?

I installed stripes on my car. Had to do it twice, because I messed up the first time. Make no mistake it can be difficult especially if you're doing it alone or with bad help (which is why I had to do mine twice). I would recommend reading the instructions twice before attempting once. Then read them again, and have them handy as you're applying the stripes. Carefully measure, and line everything up and hopefully you'll be fine. Just be prepared to waste the money in the event that you mess up.

Had mine done by an installer from Ford but he did it at my house. I was lucky and happened to know someone who knew he did work on the side. Had I gone to the dealership it would have beenmany times more $. I bought my stripes from Baltimore Street Mods and after seeing the site you looked at, I can tell you thatgoing through BSM would be much cheaper. Stripes for me ran around 120 and installation another 150. Good luck though, whatever you decide.

Yeah, not to frown on Bob White Decals, but BSM is cheaper with better customer service. Members here have had bad experiences with Bob White Decals, but not with BSM. I bought a bumper to bumper 10" sliver stripe set from BSM and they became stained and BSM replaced them(no questions asked) for free.
I had the first set installed(cost me $300). The second set I installed and it was time consuming, but I did a really good job. Taking off the adhesive the stripes leave after removing them was the most difficult part[:@]. If you're familiar with installing window tint, you should be able to install the stripes, measuring twice and installing once is recommended.
BSM has a tutorial on installing their stripes on their website. Best of luck.

I installed mine myself and it was easy. The key is to take your time, I spent almost all day on mine, but they came out great.

I did mine as well. Rocker stripes and 12" wide Lemans style stripes. All said and done, I have about 13 hours in the install, but I worked alone and really took my time, triple checking all my layout.

I wouldn't recommend Bob White. I have them and they are stained and need to be removed. I called and let him know of the problem and he blamed it on 3M and told me to take it up with them and not him. BSM or painted is the way I am going next.
