I'm not certain I like the stripe. I've not seen any like that. what do you guys think? My other option is a red candy color.

But what do you think of the stripe? I've never seen a mustang with that. Does anyone find it tacky?

I have no problem with that style of stripe (obviously, see my sig) - but not the way they put it on. It just "ends" suddenly with no transition of any kind. If the edges were finished off somehow, or it wrapped around the edge of the hood it would be better.

Ditto. How much is the dealer showing for the cost of those stripes? Tell them you don't like them at all and request they be taken off the cost so you can have proper stripes put on....

I like the style stripe - just not how they did it. Like said before - it needs to be wrapped under the hood at the least and then continued on the bumper (if you wanted).

I agree to those who said they like that style. I like it too, it just comes an abrupt halt as one user mentioned. I wasn't sure if that was some kind of style but it didn't seem right with me. I am going to go with a candy red mustang with pin stripes on the side. Thanks for your inputs.

I agree too...but its more important that you like the stripe. It looks like something the dealer put on, so I am sure they can redo the hood to wrap or have the outer pin come around the front would be cool too.
