I believe the stripes are now available from your Ford Parts Dept...My car had the front bumper stripes damaged in transit and the dealer was able to order just those pieces...not sure if the same holds true for the rest of the car. I'm guessing you want all of them except the roof stripes?

I think Shelbywise is correct that factory stripes are available via dealers....this car was advertised recently with dealer-installed stripes...I like it! --

Could someone else please help me understand why you have to pay for the "over the top" stripes for a convertible if you want them when you can get them for the coupe for free, when you pay more for the convertible and it would be less stripe to satisfy a convertible.

And because I am wanting to put stripes on my car and will have to pay for it could someone please let me know what they have paid for stripes and labor if they dont mind. If you dont want to talk $ bcuz of whatever thats fine but if you dont mind I would greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance.

Got you thanks, I was hoping that was someones car on the forum and they could give me some insight and let me know some of their costs, thanks for your help, I will keep looking as I am sure it will be an arm and a leg to get done at a dealership. I heard $1000+ already and that seems outrageous but maybe I am wrong.
