Default Stripes (opinions)

So I was thinking about putting some stripes on the mustang, theres a guy out there selling precut ready to go ones. Was thinking black maybe, but every color ive looked at just doesnt seem to look good on the car. Any opnions?

I have a '02 MG GT and have thought of the same thing. Maybe check with some of the photochop gurus and see if they can put some stripes on your car to see how it would look. I personally wouldn't do vinyl stripes, I'd get a shop to professionally paint them on

Black or white is your only option.

Slap some SS insert on your bumper. I think it dresses up the rear-end pretty well.

Keep the body/paint stock and just lower it.

jack, if you go with painted stripes check out the work he does. remember the wolf on the hood?? what a mess
