Rally stripes are pretty easy to put on. Just line it up with masking tape and lay them down according to the tape. Go with silver to tie in the side ones, would look a little off if you had two different set color of stripes. Order from rallystripes.com.

LOL... My car is the shiznit.
yah dont go any bigger than 8 inch or yer gonna have a hard time with the curves and angles.
you can get em painted, i was quoted about 400 flat out, or 1,300 under the clearcoat.
or you can spend 40 bucks, buy a kit from rallystripes.com where i got mine, and if ya get bored you can pull em off and try a different color.
you only need 1 kit, there is more than enough, just be patient and read the instructions they have on thier site.

DON'T PUT STICKERS ON YOUR CAR!, especially your car. Your Mustang looks good as it is.

ya i dont "Really" want to do it but i have some chips on my hood right in the center and these would cover them up. do you think it would hurt the paint if lets say i left them on for a year and then took them off?

My 04 GT came stock with beige stripes on the hood and trunk. I took them off to do the silver stripes and noticed the black under the stripes was a little darker. Not an incredible amount though. Well, that first year of the car's life was spent in a car lot then parked in my driveway as i couldnt park it inside the garage cause of all the crap.
if you garage yer car every night, and work in a place with a covered garage, you could probably go a year and a half with very minimal fade difference.
