Default 2005+ Mustang California Special After Market Side Stripes

All Hail Mustang !

Does anyone know where I can purchase Quality long-life Vinyl Custom 05+ California Special Side Stripes in various colors such as slate grey, mineral grey, pearl white or silver that are reflective at night and also true to the original GT/CS design.

I have seen versions that are similar but not exact. I didn't like the fact that they have a different scored lines design where the original stripes actually fades to zero near the side scoop.

I think 3M makes a quality vinyl but I am not sure what shop can cut exact custom designs and if they carry the reflective color material I am looking for.

I would like to install and enjoy them this summer!

Thanks Guys

Mustang Mert

Hey stlwagon.

Thanx for the references so far bobwhitedecals.com have the design I like. I don't want to seem obsessive but I am looking for a reflective stripe that isn't too white in daylight.

Maybe a dark silver reflective or a slate or mineral grey reflective.

White/light silver reflective just seems a little too stark like screaming " This is a cheesy aftermarket add-on "

If I mod the original GT/CS stripe I want to love the new design, not just settle for something different, just to be different.

Maybe I will contact Bob White and ask about custom cut colors.

Still looking,

Mustang Mert

Yo stlwagon,

I'll be sure to post when Cal Special stripes are installed.

You seem to have your pulse on the Mustang customization scene, so I'll ask you if you know a shop that can cut custom
vinyl designs from scratch with my reflective color of choice using the original GT/CS stripe as a template?

Thanx,
Mustang Mert

I would appreciate any names of companies and phone numbers that cut custom auto vinyl.

Thanx

Faded stripes are thermal printed... not alot of vinyl shops are set up to do that.

GrayPony,

I would make a concession and not be too picky if the stripes did not fade to zero.

The solid design is fine, but I definitely don't want a black or white stripe.

Something that would not have so much contrast with black body color such as dark silver, slate or mineral gray is what I'm looking for.

I think the reflective aspect would look cool at night.
