Custom Racing Stripes Installation on a 2017 Ford Mustang by Audio Designs & Custom Graphics

At Audio Designs & Custom Graphics, we take pride in transforming vehicles with custom vinyl wraps and accessories, and our recent project with a 2017 Ford Mustang was no exception. This was an exciting project that allowed us to showcase our expertise in installing racing stripes that perfectly align with a vehicle’s contours, making the car stand out on the streets.

Project Overview: Custom Racing Stripes and GT350 Rear Wing

Our client, a returning customer from the Julington Creek area of Jacksonville, Florida, approached us to add racing stripes to his 2017 Ford Mustang. He was thoroughly impressed with the stripes we previously installed on his Camaro, so it was only natural for him to return to us for another project. This time, we had the pleasure of working on his Mustang, and the results were nothing short of spectacular.

Materials Used: 3M 1080 Gloss Cosmic Blue Vinyl Wrap

For this project, we utilized 3M 1080 Gloss Cosmic Blue (G377) vinyl wrap—a high-quality material known for its durability, stunning finish, and ease of application. The deep, shimmering blue perfectly complemented the sleek lines of the Mustang, giving it a striking appearance that catches the eye from every angle.

Scope of Work: Front to Rear Transformation

The stripes we installed spanned the entire length of the vehicle, covering:

•Front bumper

•Hood

•Roof

•Trunk lid

•Rear bumper

Additionally, we installed a GT350 factory-style rear wing, which not only enhances the car’s sporty look but also improves its aerodynamic performance. The combination of the racing stripes and the GT350 wing gave the Mustang a truly aggressive and unique profile.

The Installation Process: Precision and Expertise

Achieving Perfect Alignment with Design Line and Laser Tools

One of the most challenging aspects of installing racing stripes is ensuring they remain perfectly straight, especially on curved and angled surfaces like bumpers. Unlike pre-made online striping kits, which often fail to account for the vehicle’s unique contours, our method uses Design Line and laser-guided alignment tools. This allows us to achieve flawless precision, ensuring the stripes are straight and seamless, even when applied to complex surfaces.

Without the proper tools and techniques, stripes can end up looking misaligned, especially on curved sections of the car. Our careful attention to detail ensures that the stripes appear as though they are painted on, rather than applied with vinyl.

A Quick Turnaround: Less Than a Day to Complete

Despite the complexity of the installation, we completed the entire project in less than a full day. This efficient turnaround is a testament to our team’s experience and expertise in custom vinyl installations. We understand that our clients are eager to get their vehicles back on the road, looking better than ever, so we prioritize both speed and quality.

Why Choose Audio Designs & Custom Graphics?

Superior Quality Materials

We exclusively use premium vinyl wraps from reputable brands like 3M to ensure longevity, durability, and a flawless finish. The 3M 1080 series, in particular, offers excellent conformability, allowing it to adhere smoothly to the Mustang’s contours without peeling or bubbling over time.

Attention to Detail

Our meticulous installation process, which includes using laser alignment and Design Line tools, sets us apart from other shops. Whether it’s ensuring the stripes are straight or achieving a seamless wrap around the most challenging areas, we don’t compromise on quality.

A History of Satisfied Customers

This project was special not only because it involved a classic American muscle car but also because it was for a repeat customer. The client was so satisfied with the previous work we did on his Camaro that he came back to us without hesitation. This level of trust and satisfaction is something we strive for with every job.

The Importance of Professional Installation

Many car enthusiasts attempt DIY installations with striping kits bought online, only to be disappointed with the results. The problem with these kits is that they are often designed for generic applications and don’t account for the unique shapes and curves of each car model. As a result, the stripes can end up looking wavy or misaligned, particularly on curved surfaces like bumpers.

At Audio Designs & Custom Graphics, we tailor each project to the specific vehicle, ensuring a custom fit that looks professionally done. We have the expertise, tools, and techniques to install racing stripes that align perfectly, no matter how complex the vehicle’s surface is.

Why Laser Alignment Matters

Using a laser to align the stripes ensures precision that simply cannot be achieved with traditional methods. Even a small misalignment can be noticeable on a car, especially one as iconic as a Mustang. By employing laser technology, we ensure that the racing stripes are perfectly straight from the front bumper to the rear, giving the car a polished, professional look.

The End Result: A Stunning Ford Mustang

The transformation of this 2017 Ford Mustang was nothing short of impressive. The 3M Gloss Cosmic Blue racing stripes gave the car a bold and aggressive look, perfectly complementing its already powerful presence. The GT350-style rear wing added a sporty flair, making the Mustang look track-ready.

Client Satisfaction: A Happy Return Customer

Upon seeing the completed work, our client was thrilled. Having trusted us with his Camaro in the past, he knew the quality of our work, but even he was blown away by how well the stripes turned out on his Mustang. His satisfaction reaffirms our commitment to providing the highest quality vinyl installations and customization services in Jacksonville.
