Factory stripes

[Hellotalkie]

When I purchased my '14 ST, I negotiated extras into the deal. One was getting the factory stripes put on. Held off on it for a while.

I've been going back and forth with them. What do you guys think? I think it's just a credit at some local audio shop so I can apply the funds elsewhere, I think...

What color is your ST? I kinda like the second picture. Not a huge fan of the first one with the offset stripes. I would probably leave it naked though unless you really like stripes.

 

[Hellotalkie]

Red

Some like stripes and some don't. It is really up to you.

 

[Meghan54]

Neither, but if you have to have them, the yellow.

 

[MustISO]

Prefer the look of center but the only car I really like them on is a Cobra or a Mustang

I like the offset stripes on the red one. However, realize that it's kinda ricey and might be a big of a cop-magnet.

umm non of those are factory strips. (the offset ones)

Heh, kinda hard to get "factory stripes" at a local shop, no?

I think it looks like crap on both cars. Isn't the whole point of a hot hatch to look like a regular car?

This guy is right. They are applied like stickers

I think that even the ford ones are dealer installed, but they are not offset.

How long are you planning on keeping the car?

If you've never tried to remove vinyl stripes once they go bad, trust me, you don't want to. If you plan on keeping the car 5+ years, I vote apply funds elsewhere if its an option.

I would not get them.
