Okay, here's my dilemma...
I want to stripe my car, but since the '04+ hasn't been done...
It's hard to wrap my head around a size of stripes and spacing.
Also, how far down the back do I go?
Blackwood (GPONA.Com) has very generously PS'd the strips on the car for a front view.

Here's the pictures I was looking to get views of the stripes,
Check out the rear so you can give an informed opinion.
Thanks:

I think silver or white would work, thick stripes in red would be alot'a red...

After I figure this out, I have to see if I can get it done in Vinyl or if I'm going to have them painted on...

I'm looking for constructive posts, but flaming would be fine as well...
If you like it, Like it but think there's a better way, or Hate it... Speak your mind!

Thanks!

The rims are Gun Metal so it could work
Doesn't the new KITT (Mustang) have Carbon Fiber Stripes?

p.s. i like the hitch!

Thanks!
I get some "gruff" about it...
It was better than renting the Home Depot truck to bring home improvement stuff to the house.
Plus, now I can pick-up mulch and what-not :)

Found It: (They couldn't make-up there mind)

Too Stripe, Or Not Too Stripe, That Is The Question

Negative, ghost rider.

But if you do, I think stripes look the cleanest when they're on the hood and trunk only. And that they don't go the whole length of the hood, but round off the front, and have pin striping surrounding the main stripe, like this:

I would definately do a subdued dark color. It's a conservative car, and needs a more "classy" approach vs. an aggressive stripe. If you were doing paint, you could almost do a tinted clear with flake in it, that would look sharp.

Hey Ron, how's it goin'?
You have a valid point, thanks for this insight!
Maybe not on the roof as well, hu?
