The Ultimate Guide to Mustang Racing Stripes
Q: What’s the fastest way to make your Mustang look…faster?
A: Any Mustang racing stripe kit available at RPI Designs.
We understand that’s a loaded question, especially in the Ford community; many Mustang enthusiasts will tell you that nothing beats side skirts or a rear spoiler. And you’ll find plenty of exterior accessories to choose from in the RPI Designs parts warehouse.
Of course, you can always make your Mustang appear quicker with a performance exhaust system, or even with a cool new gauge cluster. From outside the car to internal accessories and even under the hood, there’s virtually no limit to the different ways you can rev up your Pony’s appearance.
These are all great techniques for getting the look you want, but let’s go back to the original question: what’s the fastest way to make your Mustang look faster? Say what you want about a sleek new exhaust package or cockpit gauge upgrade, but those types of upgrades take time. From electrical connections to pipe clamps and more, these types of do-it-yourself Mustang projects are rewarding. They’re a great investment in your car. And they’ll help turn heads at the racetrack or in the showroom. But they’re definitely not the fastest method for improving your Mustang’s profile.
From our perspective, few upgrades are as quick and comprehensive as Mustang racing stripes. In under 30 minutes, you’ll have a race-ready driving machine – the same Mustang under the hood, but a decidedly sportier and sleeker on the outside. Mustang racing stripes just have a way of revving up your Pony’s appearance – and thanks to RPI Designs, you have plenty of options available! This guide to Mustang racing stripes includes plenty of useful information to consider before your purchase at RPI Designs. We’ll also review some classic Mustang racing stripes, along with some newer designs.
Let’s look at some of the most popular Mustang racing stripe kits at RPI Designs – but first, a quick history on the development of racing stripes.
Racing Stripes – A Quick Trip Down Memory Lane
Before the 1960s, racing stripes weren’t a common feature for American sports cars, even the Ford Mustang. Racing stripes got their stars in the European racetrack circuits in the 1930s and 1940s, thanks to wildly popular race fans in France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Germany. These road races attracted fans from all over the continent, including a few from across the pond in the U.S.
Racing stripes originally weren’t for making cars look faster; they helped identify race cars from regular passenger cars, as most of the European races were on public roads and highways. Eventually, American car manufacturers (including Ford) decided to incorporate racing stripes into their cars, thanks to positive feedback from fans who witnessed legendary European road races. The Mustang has offered stock racing stripe options for years, but not every Mustang has them. As a result, 3rd party car parts providers began making their own, which match the quality OEM Ford Mustang racing stripes.
RPI Designs is proud to offer a complete assortment of sleek Mustang racing stripe kits. With easy installation, solid durability and instant (and totally affordable) “wow factor” in their favor, racing stripes are one of the most sought-after exterior upgrades. We’ve put together this guide to Mustang racing stripes to showcase some of the cool accessories and kits available. Lucky for you, RPI Designs carries cool stripe packages at great prices, including:
