OMG you fawkers are killing me!!!! One of these days Slappy is gonna haul off and spin kit Jon.

Now back to stripes.....

I am gonna put these bastards on my car. I love stripes!

BUT, Ralley Stripes does not have the right color for me. They are too light as I am putting tan ones on my Black Vert (tan top and interior). I got a sample from Bob White Decals and the color is awesome. It is a very dark tan, so the stripes will be a bit more subtle.

They only come in 6" and 10". I really want 8". I am sure I can get them cut down, but that adds to the work and potential problems.

I am also debating getting my brake calipers powder coated red and then addng the red pin stripes. It could look amazing....or zhitty.

Either way, I will start with the tan stripes and then go from there.

Here is a pic of a red cobra for sale around here with white rallys.

Getting painted is obviously way cool, but yer gonna loook at a hefty price. i did some checking around and the lowest i got was about 1400 with clearcoat, 800 above clearcoart.

you could always just get the vinyl striping at WWW.rallystripes.com
dont bother with the mustang section, just scroll down the main page and check out the 30ft stripe kits. they come in various width.

The black stang is mine, it has the vinyls. Cost me 40 bucks and a couple afternoons.

Depends on yer wallet i guess.
You have 8" ones right?

Nah...everyone says that, but I like the black and tan look.
