Hi, i just got my 08 gt in Vista Blue... i made up my mind that im gonna get white stripes..

i just dont know if i should go with vynal or paint...
id just want 2 stripes down the middle, just noral size i guess

ive heard that vinyls dont look as good and can fade.... (my friends blue stripes are fading) but i was wondering.. since myne are going to be white.. they wouldent fade right?

the reason im leaning towards vynil is because im only 17 and i dont feel like spending 2000+ dollars for stripes

any info would be great

 

then just get vinyl. it wont look as good as niceley painted and cleared stripes but it will be fine. That would be 1500-2500 to do painted ones.
Just make sure they stripe thr front bumper or it will look really cheesy.

 

Hey bud. Just to let you know I am 17 also.
The stripes that came on my car were from ford-the exterior perfromance package.

I swear to you they look like paint, but are vynl.

Mine have no bumps, tears, or fading, and besides, with white, you couldn't tell if it was fading or not.




I recommend vynl, because if you hate them, you can always take them off.

And, since mine go from 10 inches in the front to 12 inches wide in the rear, you can make your own.
Just buy a roll of vynl.


Cheers

 

thanks and wow 22kart22.. nice car for a 17 year old.. i thought i was doin allright lol...

so did u buy the car with the stripes.. or went back to the ford dealer and had em put on... also how much did it cost?

 

There are way to many kids on here.

 

lol whats wrong with being a kid??[sm=happybounce.gif]

 

If you do vinyl then get them from www.baltimorestreetmods.com . I did mine myself with a helper. You need two people if you are going to do these yourself and you need to be maticulous with the cleaning of each panel before laying the stripes down.

Mine are antique white, which is basically an off white. Even if white fades some you won't notice. Yes my front bumper stripes are a little crooked.

 

Nothing, but you are driving an adult car. It's not your fault, i blame your parents and that's who i'd sue when you lose control and hit me. I would love to talk to some of ya'lls parents.

 

That, my friend, is an opinion.

 

Thanks dude. Everything was done when the car was made...Of course I bought it used with 6,000 miles on it. $21,995
