They're decent looking. Besides, they're just stripes.

They look fine, but don't really go with the car.

No way! If it's not a true BOSS, then don't use them.

Edit: Super technical design work, hahahahahah.. but like this:

Boss stripes or Mach hood's keep crossing my mind for mine, so have some thought in to it.

Yeah, to me, the BOSS and Mach 1 stripes completely commit or compliment the 69-70 style on a S197.

Yes, do it. You love this look and the cars I've seen look good. It's all about personalizing your ride and it should make you happy.

I love 'em personally. I wish they came standard. You could always do a big 4.6L and/or your cars name ( I just assume everyone names their stangs) lol, go for it.

That would look good too probably. I say go for it, drive around with it for a while, see if you like me, and if you dont, take em off.

Well if we're allowed to show visual aids....



I think you should do something like that.

09cs, you make a good point- it's just vinyl right- I could always take it off. Just need to figure out where to get them.

UpTo11, I like that one too, but would take away the GT and just have the 281. I wonder how 4.6L would look?

Anyone recommend a place to get them? I noticed Baltimore Street Mods has some decent stuff.
