Mine (JD) is a rubber flap that bolts to the back of the deck. Keep in mind, some types of grass don't stripe as well as others. You also need to cut it higher to make it work best. I have Bermuda so it doesn't really do a lot, but if you have nice fescue cut at 4", it should look good.

 

Bermuda will stripe beautifully, even when cut at 5/8", but you need to spend a bit more on a mower ...

While looking at mowers myself, I've run across a spec I hadn't thought of.  They have options for "powdered" gears or steel gears, the powdered made by the use of the sintering process.
