The best way to go is to paint them on.

Indeed, but you can let them make at any sticker company if you want them not painted.

If you plan to do the valence panels, and if you have a hood scoop, stickers won't work. Painting is easy, and the specification sheet is free.

Please not more stripes. They won't make your car any faster.

If you must do them make sure you use the correct specs. If you just paint 2 stripes it won't look good.

It's true! Very few Shelby's had them from the factory in 65-66, and they weren't even offered in 67-70. The factory stripe was $64, which is like $440 in today's money, most buyers were not that interested in stripes. many were dealer installed, but most have been added in the intervening 40+ years..

I have seen some Mustangs with straight stripes, and they looked horrible. The painting guide must be used.

Note the number of factory striped cars in this photo:

Thats interesting. I didn't realize that so few of them started out with le mans stripes. I think it looks weird to see them with just the side stripe.

Don't get me wrong about what I said before. I like stripes, but think that they are starting to become overdone now.
