Wow, pricey!! Compare both to the new corvette; "Full-length racing stripes are $995"

The internet is all the rave talking about it. Ford just doesn't give a poop these days, really don't like how the Ford stealerships have had bs high marks up the last few years with the GT350's. I've stopped bleeding blue years ago after SVT went away, last best mustang that fill the void during its time was the 03-04 cobra's, owned 3 of them (couldn't get them out of my system). Gave up on Ford when they removed the IRS's, then put it back in years later, but then removed the roots blowers. Took 17 years for them to put back the recipe again, yet added 600 lb's. IMHO they went backward for so many years and let Dodge take over where they left off. Not to be picky, though I don't like GM products I hope the new vett take away some of the GT500's sales. At least GM is changing things up.

Prefix = High Quality, I'd go so far as saying they're the gold standard. $5K was well worth it.

^^^ For sure. And I don't believe that the Vette stripes are painted for $995.

Ford's stripes are ugly. They're too thin and too close together.

$10k for them seems steep, but considering the $40,000 dealer markup, maybe it's not all that bad. lol
