Kevin Marti fairly recently reproduced a limited batch of '69 Mach 1 stripe kits in all three variations. These were advertised as being original tooling from the OEM manufacturer. As luck would have it, I intended to buy a gold stripe kit for my Black Jade Mach 1, but never got around to it. Now, they're sold out, and though they're listed as Out of Stock Temporarily, a lady from Marti Auto Works confirmed that there was no plan to have another batch produced.
Did anyone happen to buy one of these stripe kits when they were available? The advertisement was sort of vague about the difference between these OEM tooling stripes and the current reproductions. However, according to Mustangs Unlimited, the reproductions are Ford-licensed. Since it looks like I'll be going with a regular reproduction stripe kit, I was wondering what the differences are. Are there blatantly incorrect colors, fonts, materials, or anything like that? Is there an easy way to tell a reproduction from an OEM (or OEM tooling) stripe? I really wish I'd bought one of the Marti kits, but looks like that ship has sailed.
