Undecided. Ive never seen it done before. Id recommend trying a different hood, maybe the Cobra hood with stripes. Or just put a scoop on

If your car was a coupe I would say go for it, but I personally don't think stripes look good on verts.

Yeah, and he already has black side stripes...if the interior and top were black, black stripes would look sick..but just isn't the same with white.

I do have black side stripes, and they look okay, but if I went with the white pinstripe they would be taken off.

I know they're too skinny in the chop, should have made them thicker to get an accurate view.

I think I might be converting to black interior in the future. I think maybe black stripes after I get a Cobra hood and interior and top are black, but that's a ways down the road.

I'd have my hood this week if my brakes didn't die on me and I had to buy Cobra brakes :P

His are 8in with pins problem with going 10in is that the stripes will be beyound the the opening in the front grill area and would look funny. The05s and up can do 10 since they have a larger grill area.

thats pretty much what I was thinking, 8s with pins. my concern is that it will be too much cause I planed to leave the mustang down the sides that came there stock. kinda on the fence about this one, cause I like the colour of the car and dont want to take away from it but have always enjoyed stripes on mustangs

I have seen alot of 05 with both and it looks good. Remember this is only costing you a few bucks and your time. I would do it and if it doesnt look good just take it off. If you do it correctly and pick a good color you will not take it off. This is how my stang looks now, the reason I dont have it on my sig is that its going to change big time but its still going to have stripes.
