In all of the builds i have done online, the site lists the rally stripes being gloss, but the pictures released show the black satin stripes. There was some speculation that the stripe finish may be related to the SVTPP or not, but i havent seen anything more definitive yet. Anyone out there with info?

as of right now, quite a few things are wrong on the ford website...check the order guide that was posted on the threads page of this section, that one has most of the correct codes

I've been all over that guide and there is no mention either way...have to wait i guess until the order banks pfficially open with pricing on 3/21? Asked my dealer to harass the regional Ford rep and find out.

well, thats good. i prefer the satin stripes for sure, but it wasnt a deal breaker. the banks here are 'open' without the pricing and the official memo regarding order bank availability on 3/21 showed up at the dealership today, soooo, im just wanting to maek sure my order gets put in correctly.

yeah, the stripes are considered 2 colors. Gloss and "Low Gloss". After seeing the black stripes in person at the auto show I can guess the low gloss is considered satin or flat or matte. I think they look pretty aggressive in that color.

How do you know which will be supplied?

i order a white with black stripes and my vehicle order confirmation list gloss black code # 854

same here, but thats the issue, it lists gloss black, but i think satin is the correct description or "low gloss". I'm curious if theres any way to know for sure...

That I actually do not know . When they ordered mine they said gloss and I got nervous. Then after further review it said low gloss. I think certain colors are affected based off the accent stripe you pick during interior...

I've compared my black stripes to samples at the local graphics shop, and they are definitely without a doubt, satin. I don't care for the gloss, and the flat black would be ok, but not a match if I got in an accident and needed part of the stripes replaced in the damaged area.

I have a 2014 Ruby red matellac with the black stripes and while they said gloss on order they are definitely flat black which is what I wanted.
