The stripes look a little wavy, but I'm guessing that's just the pic quality. Are those Satin Silver stripes, or did you go with a non-mustang color? Also, how long did they keep it?

Not bad. Nicely done.
How many inches wide are those stripes? 11" each?

Excellent. You have the first purple mustang I've seen.

The paint shop had the car about 4-weeks but I didn't complain because they only charged me $1500 for the stripes. As far as the waviness that is due to pixel count in the photo. The paint shop removed the front and rear bumper sanded down to the base paint laid the strips laid down with four extra coates of clear and wet sanded everything so there are no ridges to the touch - just smooth as silk. At every break the stripes line up perfectly and they are dead on center.

The strip color is the same paint color that is used for the wheels. As far as being purple, its sonic blue but in the sun sonic blue can look purple. There is so much metallic in the wheel paint that you cannot look directly at the stripes in bright sun.

Good price, I paid 2000 for mine, with the door sills and thought I did well!
