u see the incoming air is diverted between the stripes and channeled down the long axis of the truck smoothing the slipstream and creating andaerodynamic improvement.
at least thats what i keep telling myself
anyway...
if you are planning on keep the stripes for a long time, i would definately recommend painting them. the vinyl only lasts so long before it cracks, or fades or wrinkles or gets cut. but if you thing you may want to go back to your original paint at some point then the vinyl is removeable. its not easy but it can be done...
i went with vinyl originally and used 12" rolls and cut them to fit. i have since painted them. roush makes stripe kits but not for regular cabs, but i would think all you would have to do to make them fit would be to cut the roof stripes...

I(had these) put these on my Ranger.They were vinyl and I went to a local sign shop and had them put them on.I had them put on the roof and tailgate too,but after a year,I took those off.

i believe so, i mean i think the only difference between the supercab and the reg cab would be the length of the roof. unless im missing something... also keep in mind that the roush stripes are narrower, i believe 8". maybe someone else can chime in. but they will look different than mine. i personally think the wider stripes look better

thanks, the upper and lower grills are Grillcraft which i got from ebay. i made the sccop grill to match those as best i could
my buddy just traded in his red 04 STX reg cab that he bought off the lot with a roush scoop and silver vinyl strips, it looked cool but the vinyl fadded horribly in 3 years. I'd recommend paint for the long term
Just curious, for those who got paint...what did it cost?
I had a local paint shop quote me 10" wide silver stripes on my red 06 Supercab. Same deal, bottom of the front bumper all the way over to the bottom of the tail gate. $760 if I remember correctly. Never did do it.
