Is it worth it
According to the Speed Phenom YouTube Channel video, the painted stripes cost $10,000 as Ford had to ship the car from Penske.

The gaps that are often found in vinyl stripes are eliminated by the painted stripes. Vinyl stripes have a tendency to end at the edge of the body panel. The painted stripes wrap around the panel’s edge without leaving any gaps. This is a major difference between the different stripe types. Vinyl stripes were listed as an option in the leaked order guide at $1,000. Ford has been contacted to confirm that the painted stripes are available at a $10,000 price. One of the most expensive options for the GT500 is the painted racing stripes.
According to the leaked order guide, a black roof costs $695 and a carbon-fiber instrument panel $1,000. Recaro seats cost $1,500. It is easy to make the GT500’s price exceed six figures.

The Mustang’s output is another significant figure. It produces 760 horsepower (567kilowatts) as well as 625 pound-feet (847 Newton meters) from its supercharged V8 engine. Ford claims that the GT500 can travel 0-100-0 miles an hour (0-161-0 km/h) in 10.6 seconds and a quarter-mile time of less than 11 seconds. Ford limits the GT500’s top speed to 180 mph (289.6 km/h).
We will have to wait to confirm the option prices if Ford does not respond. We won’t have long to wait, hopefully. The GT500 will be available later in the year.
