TO stripe or not to stripe

m0nkeh · 10-06-2007, 04:17 PM

Was wondering how gray PIN stripes ((has the 2 thick stripes and then 2 thin stripes on the outside of the 2 stripes)) on a convertible would look..not asking if you like or dont like stripes at all, just asking if they look OK on convertibles?

((i want grey stripes to match maybe the greyish fr500rims))

m0nkeh · 10-08-2007, 11:02 AM

also, if agree i should stripe...where do I buy stripes? any good websites?

Mixedbreed02GT · 10-11-2007, 10:42 AM

do not buy pinstripes for your car. it will not look as good as you think it will.

some racing stripes? sure...but do not put pinstripes on a mustang.

m0nkeh · 10-11-2007, 11:01 AM

Those are the stripes im talking about...oh well

Mixedbreed02GT · 10-11-2007, 11:14 AM

well you did say PIN stripes...so i thought you were wanting to put pinstripes on it.

yeah im all for those...those look good.

m0nkeh · 10-11-2007, 11:56 AM

sry for saying the wrong ones lol.

I want to do stripes to match fr500s (the grey ones, forget name)

just wanted to kno if stripes are ok on verts and if the colors were good...

thx

It also might help if you post a picture of your own car you are wanting these stripes on?

m0nkeh · 10-11-2007, 06:54 PM

ok, ill post 1 pic. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3.../pic3rk4-1.jpg

if i decide not to do stripes... (( bullit grill + lower grill + gas door + chrome mustang bumper decal + wingless + hood pins + black fr500's))

which i think would look better anyway...lol

i think black strips would look good on a white car.

03DSG · 10-16-2007, 02:04 PM

strips are ok, I'm just not sure about them on a vert. I'd say save your money for something else.

Steeda97 · 10-16-2007, 07:15 PM

Yeah if i were you, i'd go with. Mach 1 Delete, Chin Spoiler, and some new wheels.

Heres a few pics of mine with dark gray stripes... to help you make your decisions

HokieStang00 · 10-18-2007, 04:16 PM

Someone suggested to me flat black. Would be a subtle color change, and would keep the dark look.
