Default New stripes!

Just got my new stripes on today, I went with 10" wide with and 1 1/2 space in the middle. The installer forgot to add the 1/4 stripe on the outside, he's going to finish it next weekend. Paid 550 for them, the dealership wanted 900. Well worth it because here in arizona, it's way to hot to be doing something that needs a lot of patience outside. I'll be lowering it in two weeks, she's coming along.

Like the stripes...I have the 10" stripes with a 2" gap right now but going to go to a 12" stripe with 2" gap. I also live in Gilbert but installed them myself. Where did you get yours done?

Here are some pics of it right now.

Very nicestripes. You may want to re-size your pictures and make them a bit smaller.

Great car though!

Thanks fellas, it was nice to finally get them done. Hey JerseyBlood, i had a friend do them, he does all the touch up work for all the ford dealerships in the east and west valley. What kind of springs did you use? Who installed them? lol, and I'll resize the pictures for sure, first time doing this.

Looks good. Had a local installer do them for $200, but the quality shows and they are cracking.

And that's what this guy said, the kit that ford uses usually cracks and doesn't last in the az heat. So I paid a little more for Matallic that stretches some and doesn't lose its UV protection and is better quality. Plus it took homeboy six hours in 110 degree heat, I would have paid more for sure. I know I could have done it, but that would have been 10 hours of my life I wouldn't get back.
