Can you order stripe kits from Ford?

[QUOTE="mwilson6192, post: 13707468, member: 144793"] Like others have said, any OEM stripe is available from Ford. I had a large number of modifications done to my GT500 recently, one of which was a Shelby Super Snake hood to accommodate a Whipple 4.0L supercharger upgrade, and the mods were performed by Tasca Mod Shop. They tried to color match my car (2014 black convertible with red stripes) with aftermarket stripes they used for pre-2013-2014 GT500s but could not accurately color match my OEM stripes (Tasca said Ford changed the stripes for these model years as opposed to the earlier GT500 model years and "some" colors are more sensitive to color match than others - I guess red was/is one of the sensitive colors). As a result, Tasca went with original OEM stripes which of course were a perfect match but at higher cost. Because of the structure of the Super Snake hood, they had to use 4 sets of stripes because the kits are precut lengths, and the Super Snake hood required 2 more sets of stripes. Tasca only charged me for 2 sets (e.g. Tasca ate the cost of the 2 additional sets of stripes), but for the amount of money I have in the modifications I personally would have paid the additional price because an EXACT match was the only solution for me. If your needs require exact color matching with the existing OEM stripe colors, I offer you my experience with Tasca. If your needs don't have close proximity to existing OEM stripes (unlike my experience which required matching the new stripes mere millimeters from existing OEM stripes), you may be able to get away with aftermarket stripes. As others have said, go through Tousley Ford (which is now AutoNation White Bear Lake Ford or Tasca Ford for the best discounts on OEM parts). Below is a picture showing the results of using OEM stripes to match the front existing red stripes. The lighting causes some deceiving looks - in person the stripes are an exact match and the hood lines are perfect. Hopefully my experience helps you. Good Luck. [ATTACH=full]528387[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
