Racing stripe problem!
Just bought my dream car; 2006 Mustang w/ pony package. I got them to add black racing stripes and I thought the dealership would put them on. Turns out that they used an outside custom shop to do the stripes. I got the car back and it looked like CRAP! The edges were coming up, there were bubbles, and some of the lines weren't even straight. Obviously I took my car back to the dealership and they agreed it looked bad. They had the custom shop guy come over and go over the problems w/ me. That was yesterday. The dealership just called me and said my car is back and still looks bad. They said the stripes look ok but there are particles under the tape which look like bubbles. They said they called the custom shop and were told they did not have a "dust free" room and could not and would not guarantee that there would be no particles. Anyway, long story short I either can take the car as is and get my $$ back or they can try once again to fix it. I am freakin!! I haven't seen how bad the car looks yet but even if I take the $$ I don't want a brand new car that looks like crap. Any suggestions/comments??!!

Yea I know!! [:@]
I picked it up last night and got my $$ back. It looks ok except 2 things: the stripes on the hood are the same length (one is longer than the other) and there are bubbles on the back stripes around the center 3rd taillight.

Lame company. I hope they switch. Find yourself a reputable company and you will be happy. Having a dust free environment is nothing but a lame excuse. I had a guy do mine, and he was horrible. I researched a bit on the computer, ripped his off and did them myself. Turned out perfect. Ten times better than this little business! I now do my own!

Have the badly done stripes removed & get your money back. You can always go to a good paint & body shop to have stripes "professionally" applied or painted on.......
