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.

Opinion Thread: BOSS style stripes on a S197? --> with pictures
This is something I have been going back and forth on for a long time. To put it simply, I am a big fan of the 1970 boss side stripes; the style not the lettering. Because of this, I am considering using the side stripes WITHOUT the lettering. My question is simple: As a Mustang owner or enthusiast, what do you think about using the stripes on a S197?
If you're not familiar with them: they were used on the 1970 BOSS 302, BOSS Trans-Am race cars driven by Parnelli Jones and George Follmer, a few FR500 Grand Am race cars, the Parnelli Jones edition by Saleen, and most recently the current BOSS 302R (which is really for the 10+ guys).
Thanks for the votes and/or replies. The poll will run for one week before I make a decision. BTW, if you've already put these stripes on your own car, feel free to post pictures of them also.

Yes, GRH is my company. Never really considered putting that on the car, as it's not really a household name like Roush or Shelby. 281 would work, as I a stroker kit to 302 isn't going to work right now. I wonder how a stretched GT would look.
That last pic of the dynetek stripe is only interesting where it goes down to the side, where the indentation is- I don't like how it runs over the run either.
