I would like to know that as well, as I have no stripes on my GT500. I know that there are at least 8 GT500's that I have seen posted on here and other forums that do not have stripes some are coupes and some are verts.

I tried backing into the number based on several posts on www.stangsunleashed.com regarding white coupes overall less those with blue stripes, red stripes, and tungsten stripes. Seems that white 07' GT-500s with full stripe delete number somewhere < 25 units.

Not official by any means as SVT says those figures won't be available for another couple of weeks (exact stripe counts).

SVT told me we will never know how many were built with full stripe delete :(

I know black would be the most common but how common, 500 total? There were only about 1600 total black coupes made.

03Snake-nice choice on the combo, you will love it but that combo really makes you notice all the plastic on the car, I think it is because normally your eyes focus on all the stripes detracting from the plastic. I would love to see a full stripe delete with the front splitter painted, mirrors, side skirts and rear diffuser and perhaps even the hood vents painted! Is this photoshopable?

i would have to think full delete would have to be the rarest combos. I personally not a big fan of the stripes. I really dont like the side stripe no offence to anyone. Anyone have just the top stripes?

IMHO, the side stripes are the most subtle of all. Top stripes without the side stripes would look like ass if you ask me! The other way, is just fine!

I know the top stripes are decals but someone told me the bottom side stripes are painted? Is that right? And could you just peel the stripes off if you wanted?

I agree. I had thought about adding alloy side stripes but got too busy and forgot. Oh by the way, I did get a VIN, and delivery is scheduled for week of 24 SEP.....

That is awsome!
The HIDs will look sick as well.
I may order the alloy sides some day as I can get them for only 100 bucks.

Cant wait to see yours

I know from my conversation with Ford Racing that the Vista Blue with no stripes was the rarest coupe with only 9 being made. You can start from there.

147 Black coupes made with over the top stripe delete, but figure in about 50 or so with the side stripe, that leaves about 100 full stripe delete black coupes

:D

Me likey
