Of the 4037 coupes, there are well over 800 like this. They all look great, just a bitch to keep clean. Look around on the site and you will find lots of pictures.

Hopefully you can see the stripes in these pics: Black/Black 2013 GT500 with SVTPP + EP + Recaros

I think the stripes are flat or matte. They're definitely not glossy. Yeah, the black/black combo is probably the most produced color/stripe combo.

Ford calls the black stripes "glossy black" If seen them in person and there not the same as flat or matte black. Thats why I was asking if anyone has seen one with the flat or matte stripes

I think that the stripe color changed from matte in 2013 to gloss in 2014. It was the most common color in 2013 so it shouldn't be hard to find pics.

For whatever reason, Ford called the 2013 GT500 stripes "glossy", they're probably doing the same with the '14 stripes as well. As you can clearly see from the pics posted of factory stripes though, they are matte, not glossy.

The Ford website is wrong and so are the order sheets, they are not glossy. They are matte black. Its the same way they list 3.55 gears when they are 3.31

These mistakes were also on the website last year at this time when I was building my 13...it is not something new for 14, they have never corrected it from the beginning ...it was confusing when I first looked, but realized they had some glitches.

From the numbers I saw there are something like 1400 black coupes for 2013. Deep impact blue was the second most popular color. Every dealer I visited near me before getting finding my gray coupe had at least 1 black or 1 blue coupe. 1 local dealer had 2 of each. It was rare to find silver, gray or white - at least near me.
