When ordering the stripe, make sure you specify it needs to read Gran Torino Sport. There is one that says Gran Torino only.

I have noticed some repro stripes are not quite like the originals.  The colour transitions don't seem to match OEM.  Does anyone know which brands to avoid, or which are most like OEM?

If they make them on the spot, do they have the capabilities of doing a custom color?  Like bright silver fading to black? Just wondering if anyone has the capability of doing a custom laser stripe while keeping the reflectivity.

 i would guess its saved as a computer file, and they just press the button to send to print, but maybe call them?, but a normal stripe for them is quick, i usually got one from them in a couple days

Is there anyone who makes the laser stripe for the Ranchero? It would be a different length (2" longer on rear quarter), but they did have them, maybe I should call Mustang Market and check with them since they make them in house.
