OP - Are you trying to find a place to buy them or trying to find the part number? I am aware that the IS come with these in the your part of the world and not sure if they serve a purpose but visually, if you can go without, I think your IS would be nicer looking.

Those aren't "stripes", they are actual aero fins. Just to be clear.

And how much aerostabilization does a 300hp car actually need?

As if those little things would do anything anyways no matter the speed or power, they are just for styling.
I think the clarification as to what they are called was only mentioned to aid in helping him search for them online and also to let him know they protrude out a bit and are not just a flat decal.

It's clear the OP is after those for aesthetic reasons as he referred to them as stripes.

Everyone's into their own thing. I see so many stick-on plastic chrome pieces or fake hood scoops around which make this look like it's nothing.

I bet in a wind tunnel at 200mph the computer could tell the difference

Really?? Ah shoot c'mon guys. I'd still take one if it had chrome flames down the hood lol.

Most common are the Maserati style fake vents on the front fenders. The Maserati doesnt even look good....certainly your Ford doesnt either.

Lol, don't get me wrong I can appreciate the engineering and looks of the BMW Supra, but what I'm stating is the truth: it's a BMW and it has fake vents. I would probably buy one at the right price but definitely not at retail price. They are overpriced in my opinion. The 2021 is getting a pretty big power and torque bump though and will make it a little more worth it.

Just by looking on those chrome flames, it already added 50hp on your ride.

lmao. You saw the 4 banger turbo Supra they are releasing in the US this year right? It should be “cheaper” than the I6 turbo. It’s a BMW I4 turbo. They should have stuck the 8AR-FTS in there.
