I've done a search & want to verify my finidngs...

To duplicate the 07 Shelby GT500 stripes on an 06, I believe I should go with two 10" wide stripes with 1 1/2" spacing.

Is this correct?

Thanks.

I think the 10" is correct but I think the spacing is too much. I went with a 1" spacing. If you look at the rear of the Cobra and look at the GT badge you can approximate the spacing. I really think it's closer to 1" than 1 1/2" but it wouldn't make too much difference.

Thanks guys. I am planning to go the same as you guys on my V6. First I want to remove the factory stripes on the rockers and maybe paint the rocker panels to match the body. I really like the Shelby striping as it is retro just like the car itself. I'm also hoping there will be an aftermarket kit for a Shelby grill/bumper cover with the built in fog lights. I don't really like the oversize GT lights or the 06 "Pony option" fog lights.

I was wondering if anyone has painted them according to the old Shelby's dimensions? Here is a link that shows what they used to be. Not sure what this would look like on an '05 though.

Interesting they were a variable width stripe. Wonder how that'd look on an 05. I'd planned on going 10'' wide on the stripe with a 1-1.5'' gap. Hmmm... Somebody have their car striped according to these specs & then post pics so the rest of us can decide if its a good idear. =)

Here are stripes done 10" and 1.5"

Very nice, that's exactly what I had in mind.

My stripes are painted useing old shelby layout... I actually layed the stripes myself and they are the exact as the shelby original from the manual.

I went to the New York auto show and saw the GT500 in person. I didn't have a tape measure on me but I held a quarter up to the stripe gap and the stripes were spaced about 1/8" wider than the quarter which is 1.0" in Diameter.

Thanks.

I modified mine using Avery Vinyl and researched the dimensions via Google.com. There's enough information to do the job. Check out my version in the traditional American Racing Colors:

Yikes - alike

fnesmith, Great minds think and act alike. Here are a couple of pics of my tribute car.n The stripes are 10" and are 2" apart. You are right you can Google the stripes. They are actuallydifferent widths depending on the place on the car. From wide to narrower . Its somewhat strange but I have the original spec sheet with the dimensions on it from a 1965 GT 350. White with blue stripes. :thumbup :thumbup :clap :thumbsup :thumbsup

Here is a site with clean, clear pictures of the 07 Shelby 500. You can use the pictures and measure from know points to get the size info you need.

What color

I have a Tungsten grey GT coming in Sept. What color shelby stripes do you think will go with this color. I saw the 2004 show car with white stripes and thought they could have done better.

10-1 vs 10-2

The new '07 Shelby will have the 10-1 stripes. I got 10-2 on my '05.

'05 GT, IUP, Red Interior, Sequential Tail Lights, Engine Plenum Cover & Tinted Windows

Thanks, everyone.

Looks like I'll go 10"W. I found a site that has precut 10"W stripes, Baltimore Street Mods. They require a 1 1/2" gap.
