when I had my stripes put on my 07 I contacted a couple places locally. They got me in contact with a great guy that installed stripes my 07 convertible cost me about 400 installed with a couple other small add ons. A couple choices for you is contact some local installers or contact some body shops and ask who they use to install striping. Also make sure you get good quality material stripes dont get the cheapest material you can find they will degrade faster.

Don't take it to the dealership IMO. Cheaper & better to take to a vinyl shop. After having my California Special for a couple years I'm not a huge fan of vinyl stripes. I have a Focus ST also & I'm considering having racing stripes painted on. It's not as cheap but maintenance is a lot easier and the stripes have the paint/gloss look.

As far as price I would say about $400-600. Quite a few variables, so it's hard to narrow down.

Any good vinyl place will help you out. If you have a good body shop around, they can help you out too.

Yup yup!!! again no cheap vinyl if your out in the sun it doesnt hold up well as. Also replacing vinyl can be rough getting ALL the glue off the car can be time consuming. it took me and my wife 8 hours to get the baked on glue on the hood off the 2007 car

If you can afford it, have them painted on with a clear over them. Done right, you won't even feel them and they last as long as the paint. I bought a 2007 Shelby GT, took it to the shop right off the floor, and those stripes look good to this day.

that is for damn sure....however, remember, peal finishes and such will require more attention to keep them looking sharp.
