Stripes
It was not possible to order a GT with "Painted Racing Stripes" (Option Code 97P) in conjunction with the "Body Side Stripe DELETE" (option Code 97D).
The "Side Stripes" were standard equipment, but, you could DELETE them if you wanted, at no additional charge. The "Racing Stripes" were optional, but could only be ordered in addition to the side stripes; if you deleted the Side Stripes, you were not allowed to add the Racing Stripes.
The 2005 GT Order Guide did not specify this, but it was in effect. Any vehicle orders that included this invalid combination would have been flagged out and edited in Option Scheduling. For 2006, the wording in the Order Guide was updated to reflect it: "Painted Racing Stripes (over hood, roof, rear hatch) - not available with 97D."
