There are benefits to both....
BUT the vinyl stripes can always be removed or changed...... I tried three different schemes before I came up with one I really liked. That is actually how I got into selling the stripes as well as a plethora of other stuff for stangs.
I just ut a bunch of UPR billet aluminum interior stuff in my stang, and man, what a difference!!!! Worth every penny!!!!!

RE: Paint or Vinyl
If you're 100% sure you'll always want those stripes, then paint them. however, if you ever sell the car, some people might not like that look and would be more likely to buy knowing they could take the vinyl stripes off.
I bought silver 9" racing stripes from trebor and I'm going to put them on when a nice day rolls around. I can't wait til spring comes to put those on my black stang, and get the old stock ones off. And of course, if I don't like them, I can always take them off and go plain.
That's just me though.

Great colors together. Makes a mean looking combo too.I'll definitely be on the lookout for those. I am SUCH a perfectionist when it comes to my car, so I'll be sure to catch it. Also, my stripes came with a squeegee to go over them so I don't get them underneath there.

Just so everyone knows, I have listened, and the music is now gone from the site. I am beginning to have too much data anyway with all the items I have added to the site.
xRocktheponyx, Thank you for your purchase!!! I would love to see it when you are done!!!! If it is possible, can you take pics of your application as you go? I want to set up a page within my site showing step by step for all our stang guys. If you, or anyone on this site purchases stripes and runs into any issues, get ahold of me, i WILL make sure my stang peeps get taken special care of.
As to temp, you will have much better luck if either it is warm out, or if you have a heated garage. As I learned first hand this fall, they are a pain in the a** to apply if it is cold (not to mention cold hands from being wet with solution lol)
If anyone stripes an 05 stang, and runs into issues striping the hood or trunk, get ahold of me, we have learned a couple tricks with these particular applications. We are working on a custom cut set, and should have them worked out in a few weeks. They will likely run somewhere in the $99 range, and will go bumper to bumper.
I am hearing that new england dragway and cecil CO dragway here in MD are now open..... time for us to start hitting the 1/4mi runs, hope to see some of you there
