    I have been going back and forth on the subject for a while but I think I have decided to put side stripes on my '71 Grabber. I have searched and found several places that sell the kits. Is there one place that is better than the others as far as quality is concerned? Thanks.

    I also used Graphic Express. Their stripes are LICENSED BY FORD. That was important to me for accuracy.

    Same here for my 1970 Grabber - Graphic Express.

    For the '72, I chose Phoenix Graphics as they would do a custom color for me (for an added price :))

    I used Phoenix Graphics. Graphics Express would not make the stripes in the colors that I wanted. Also Graphics Express were a little short with me on the phone when I was inquiring about their stripes. Phoenix was really great and helpful though. I do have to say that my stripe guy at work said that they were the worst stripes he has ever installed. They did come out perfect though and I am very happy with my choice ...

    Another great tip, and lead as I've elected to got with an uncommon color scheme. Thanks!

    Do not use Auto Krafters they get their kits from Mustang Market. My buddy ordered a stripe kit for his Comet Gt and one stripe had Comet on it and the other said Comet Gt. Lukily he noticed before installing the wrong one. Mustang Market said there was no way they made a mistake, took him about 3 weeks to get it resolved.
