stripes will cost me
 

so the stripes on my car are actually painted on and can't be peeled off.

i would like to repaint the car. what are the colors you guys think would look good and what kind of finish should it get.

i'm thinking dark shadow grey, silver, black, and bullit green.

flat desert camo FTW

Gloss black (top half), cherry-red/metallic bottom half.......then get some black 500s.

Just me though, I just got done watching drifting on the TV so that "inspired" my input, lol...

how about christmas colors?

Show us what your car looks like first.

here are the pics, i would've taken more over the weekend but i was not feeling well.
the stripes are actually painted on, so it's not vinyl. I'm thinking either a darker green, dark shadow grey, or black. all three would go great with a set of wheels i have in mine.

sorry for the last pic, well aleast you get to see how many miles are on the car when i bought it a month
1 1/2 ago.

I say paint the car a dark shade of red and put wider stripes on it but paint them white or silver. Though I think the car looks great. There are many ways I guess someone could go wrong with it but I'm sure whatever color combos you pick they will look good. Good luck man and I cant wait to see the finished product.

If you get it painted a different color than what it currently is, it'll be expensive (assuming you are taking it to a shop to get painted). As it'll be much more work compared to just repaint it the same color (inner door trim, engine bay, trunk...etc). Just a heads up thats all, for the price of a decent paint job you could probably fork up some pretty good performance upgrades.

Personally I'd just add some 10' black vinyl strips to cover up the current ones, cheap and does the job. The money you save could do you gears, tune, suspension and a new set of wheels. :cool:

up to you though, your car, so do whatever you think its good.

i may actually repaint the whole car the same color it is now. still saving up on a new catback and a full exhaust. and other goodies.

thats a very rare factory option.. ide keep it and get the tan bullits

its not an 04 so the stripes are not factory. Even if it was an 04 the stripes wouldn't be painted on.

only the 2004 40th ann. editions had those gold stripes and only on certain colors and the stripes were just vinyl stickers that could be peeled off.

Just get the stripes repainted a different color. Repainting the whole car correctly is expensive. I'd only repaint the car if the current paint was messed up, but looks to be perfect in the pics.

there are some spots around the car that needs touching up on the paint. on the driver's door handle, the back bumper, and underneath the right headlight. the right side of the front bumper is not flushed, and the right taillight is not flushed. also whoever had the car before "I" had put in performance intake, but didn't replace or put on a filter.

well i guess who ever had the car painted them on.

what kind of wheels goes great with a green mustang gt w/gold stripes painted on?
that is what's really bothering me.

Lets defy the ricers and get neon brown

:confused:

yea i would rather stab myself first in the face before i get neon brown. next thing i know, i'll be putting a huge wing on and crap load of stickers for the 1,000 hp mark?!?!?!

Well, make sure you add the body kit thats unpainted, then a coffee can as an exhaust tip. Cut your springs so you can bounce around and make sure at least one of your bumpers is cracked. If you add decals, make sure all the brands are not applicable to your car. with that said, let the stabbing begin!

yea! what would really set my car off, is a crappy two-tone paint job done by cheech & chong wannabes!

besides, the all around bodykit that you'd be a fool not to get, is get cardboard bodykit decorated with crayons and markers.
