Removing Dark Horse Vinyl Hood Decals

[Dub347sbf]

Curious now - so if Blue Ember gets a special version of the hood stripes, what is the color difference in stripes between say the Blue Ember or a black/gray car? Tried looking up pics online but couldn't see the changes.

I can easy see unique stripes costing that much to install. Must be a pain for the parts department to even get another set in the first place.

All of the appearance package cars have the different decals, so you can get them on blue ember, black, and vapor blue i think was the other color. The difference is there are 3 gradient shades of gray instead of two, otherwise very similar.

It should be understood the appearance package is required in the blue ember, optional for other colors.

I ordered a GT premium in the vapor blue, and I love the way the hood decals look with the Darkhorses I have seen in the same color. Been scouring the internet ever since to try and find a way to get the dark horse hood decals for mine

The retro orange and black strips is what made the Mach 1 a special look in my opinion.

I almost bought this kind of Mach 1 when I was trying to decide between that one and the Shadow Black DH! As I tried to call the dealership said that exact color was previously sold out! Then I had to scramble around some dealership near my home and found one just 3 miles from my home had a special order DH in hand for sale, then got it. This Mach 1 is beautiful off white with black and orange stripes is real good looking!

Does anyone know if/where we can order replacement decals?

accharger66, since Ford has decided to remove the HP, AP packages, which now we can no longer have a Ember Blue Metallic Dark Horse, can't get the notorious blue caliper's, almost forgot to mention the Carbon Fiber Wheels, can't get them either. My original order date 04/18/23 . My dealer called told me if I wanted the DH I couldn't get those options. But I could still get the painted stripes. Well I just cancelled everything and changed colors of the car.
I don't care for the vinyl stripes, already made preparations to have them removed, and the bezels painted SB, along with the spoiler and other off color moldings . Who wants a carbonized color anyway.
My 2000 GT,and my 2008 GT both of the spoilers match body color.
I'm not buying the DH for those things. I'm old school, I'm buying because #1 it's a DH, but I chose the DH over the GT because of the engine and the way it's built.

i'm with you. I hate my DH stripes and just dropped off for removal and installation of double racing stripes (shelby style). If you can afford a DH, you can afford to do what you want to with it. Don't listen to your "teachers" who say "no touchy touchy." Won't affect the trade in value a bit. Mark my words. If it did, would be a couple hundred bucks, but really, it won't. Will look cooler.

Cool, post some pictures after you get it done.

I would just remove them and not put anything back in their place. They just cover too much area of the hood. Especially with Blue Ember, which I think less of it being covered is better.

One thing I wanna know is why mine came with vinyl when I thought they were supposed to be painted on?!

Painted stripes are like a $5500 option. Or were. No idea what they cost now.

I personally love mine and have no plans of removing it. Although I did put PPF on the hood and eyeshadow to make the whole thing glossy.

We love our stripes too. Sometimes the matte ness of them can look good too.

Ha.
My wife is the opposite. She loves the stripes.
Go figure.

If She Loves the Stripes.
Take them off and give them to her!
You both Win !

It’s a delete option now. Had it been when I ordered I would have. Had to resort to aftermarket removal.

The stripes aren’t bad. I just think the design could have been better.
