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?

Mine was a tad different since it was one of the initial 'developmental' hoods with recessed hood pins so it was primered.
I'm not sure about the pic on thier site being specifically my GT....I have changed out wheels since I first did the conversion and added the hood/stripes so yeah, its definately possible. I initially had Shelby Razors on mine till switching out earlier this year.

I like both with and without stripes but if your going to do it do it right and go with painted on ones. The hardest part is finding a stripe that looks good on your car and is the right color for the look your going for. My stripes are painted on and full body panel clear coated. I also went with a more stealth look by getting a color in the same color family as my car.

Eeeeaaasy my friend. You really don't want to get into that. This issue has been beat the hell out of on this forum and it all comes down to a matter of personal choice. Let's end it here.

To the OP I am doing my black 11 CS/GT with OTT stripes next week, I have a glass roof, so I'm doing shorties on top which you will have to wait and see.
Im going with satin black to match my side stripes.
I will post then.
