I have a customer wanting stripes on a 2007 mustang. I've heard the stripes have a slight taper to them and aren't straight?? Does anybody know where I can get vector cut files for them? Any other tips would be appreciated.
Thanks, JR

You are correct. They're not straight rectangles. Run a search on this board. Seems like this has been discussed a couple of times.

been using arlon cast. no probs, except on the 07 with hood scoop, i took scoop off then put stripes down then replaced scoop. customer says the stripe is wrinkling? haven't seen it yet, i'm guessing they put scoop on too tight, service guys did the r&r of scoop

We don't do a lot of cars here, but here's a 2007 Mustang we did for a friend of mine, a couple of weeks ago.

cool, i have done a couple of that model stang with 8" rallye stripes and had probs at the hood scoop. the service tech apparently put it back on too tight and made the vinyl wrinkle a bit. any one else have an issue there?

nice job, I reminded me about the stang I did last year. Carbon fiber black down the sides and later it was taken off and center stripes front to back and down the bumpers. There is a taper which I had to use trial and error to get it perfect fit for bumbers and the gas cap in the rear light panel.
Hope the picture comes thru, first time uploading anything.
