Thanks guys I pretty much figured no stripes would get the vote.

In the end, it's your car. If you like stripes, put 'em on.

I would probably leave it the way it is, you can always have them put on later after seeing some cs with them

I dig stripes. 11.5"s with pins.


I say go for it, however, I dislike the way differently-coloured stripes clash with the matte black tape stripe the CS's have on the side. I say pick one or the other, both will look cheesy, IMO.

Hey Andretti,

Your car is BRILLIANT ! I saw the side profile in the blue stangs group. The stripes look great.

I see you have the truFiber hood..i take it that you had a body shop do the paint work on it to match up the paint and the stripes to the car? I assume those hoods just come in a white Gel coat.. in fact it looks like your car on their web site but with different wheels?

i think it looks sick now and it would look sick with stripes, i think matte would look better than silver but the silver will still be sharp i say put them on

I would go with a set of matte black stripes, subtle but still there, it'll look stealth and cleann imo

They are not many cars that can handle stripes. It take a brutish, in-your-face styling like the AC cobra, Viper, GT 40 to manage stripes. Mustangs, vettes, and pretty much all others have too soft a look for striping.

I've changed the look of my car 3 times in two years so I speak from experience when I say that my car got most of its attention when it had the dual stripes. Here's how my car has evolved over the last two years and you be the judge. It seems us mustang guys love and appreciate the Super Snake look but the general public much preferred the second look and it would have been 8 grand cheaper to keep it that way! I love the way my car looks now but its ability to get thumbs up from strangers has dropped from a 9 to a 4. I still can't believe it but it's true!



10" stripes...1/4" Pins all sides...3" gap


14" Super Snake Stripe...1" pins
