Vinyl is much cheaper and looks good. plus you can use the saved money for more mods.

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!!!!!

Not trying to bash....just trying to help

If you are trying to be professional and all with your site get rid of the sound effects...nothing makes a site more annoying/unprofessional than stupid sound effects when you open the page.

If it annoys me and I am on the web alot...imagine if someone is searching the millions of mustang sales sites and clicks that....hears the noise.....click BACK button right away.

trebor, I am going to PM you with something instead of putting it out here for all to see. I feel the same way about your site as miliock. Just some constructive suggestions, cause your products are killer!

While we're on the subject, are there optimal temperatures and/or atmospheric conditions to put on stripes? It's pretty cold around here and I just recently bought some stripes for my 2000. Not to hijack, so feel free to PM me if you would feel like a hijacker. Or put it here for all to see. Maybe others need help, too.

i agree with the argument that vinyl can come off, but paint just looks so much better. if you have the money and know you want it, get em painted. ive waxed cars with vinyl stripes and for the most part the vinyl stays kinda dull. paint just looks so much better all around, but it is permanent.
