nice, fresh stripes :drool:

[1218shelby]

so after next week, the Shelby is coming out new and fresh.. :look:

[V3NOM3S]

see if you can get an extending warranty on the strips since it seems to be a reoccurring problem or or can return the car "lemon law"....... :lol3:

[1218shelby]

alot of Shelby owenrs are having this issue. I need a garage to park the car in.

[M.Dest.B]

is that rust? :mad:

[1218shelby]

looks like it... :whoknows:

[CEE1NG_RED]

You need a car cover or invest on getting a car port/canopy to minimize this problem... :keke:

[FOXnSTANGER]

car cover from Costco FTW.

[1218shelby]

yeah, i need a canopy.. probably get one installed this weekend...

all of these, good suggestions, then you post this:

:finger:

bad form old bean, bad form. :hammer:


and i agree, if oxidation is a problem with the stripes, get a car cover with good UV protection, park the car in a garage, or just get them painted on. :shrug:

[M.Dest.B]

i admit im a n00b @ this oxidation stuff. so imma just flat out ask,


why does this happen to jaimes caR and not other cars that have their stripes put on by dealerships?

um, he did say that other shelby's are having this problem.

[M.Dest.B]

i've never seen any car with stripes from the dealer do this :whoknows:

[dmark101]

well, his stripes originally came from the factory. the replacement also came from there, but were installed at the dealer. now, he's having to go in for yet another replacement, again factory stripes. all the dealer is doing is installing them.

if this is a recurring thing, the problem is probably with the manufacture of the stripes. sort of like how some ford paints in the 80's and 90's had serious issues with premature oxidation. rio red anyone?

[V3NOM3S]

alot of Shelby owenrs are having this issue.

yes he did Damon but this is not Jaime's fault. I wonder what kind of guarantee there going to give him for these strips.

[black3v4.6]

I don't think i would go with an ez up. While they are great for what they do they are meant for mobile tents so you can take them anywhere. I have seen alot fail in high winds and while I don't know windy it gets where you park your car I would hate to see it fall on your car. They just have so many hinges and joints that if any of them fail its coming down.

:(

No thanks. :no:

[fdogg96]

how about leave the stripes off? :look:

[ka0tyk]

how about leave the stripes off? :look:

but then it would be a $45k gt.

[Martini]

hey Jaime why dont you build a carport?

[Blanco32v]

i second (or third, lol) that you see if ford will keep replacing them after the warantee is done since you KNOW its gonna happen. And in the mean time, save to just have them painted on. I think its that they are flimsy ghey vynle stripes. Even the Ford GT had cheezy stick on stripes, not painted. Painted stripes would look sweet

[M.Dest.B]

jaime is gonna build a carport next to the house he builds.....

[fdogg96]

you assume he's knows construction because jaime's mexican? :look:

[Martini]

no it was a jab from the past

[RedRyder]

hmm... my stripes are doing just fine.

[Nicksbluestang]

hmm... my stripes are doing just fine.

But how is your paint doing? :look:

[grumps91GT]

Dang that sux Jaime. Hope everything works out.



<insert "should have got a 4V" joke here>

[M.Dest.B]

actually i agree. should have gotten a s197 4v.



cause everyone knowws the s197 4v is king.

[Leos06gtLL]

that weird my stripes still look good, so are you gonna pay for this?

[Daddy's GT500]

A canopy is pointless.

Spend the money. Covercraft

[BondoSHO]

but then it would be a $45k gt.

Level up!

not gonna pay for it. Ford is.. :cheers:

[FORCED-AIR-FASTBACK]

I would take it somewhere else and see if they will pay for it.The vynil they are using is probably cheap and has no UV coating.I have had vynil on my boat for about 3 years and have had no problems

Try putting wax on them regularly
