Default A strange feeling

At first i was excited to see a white 67 mustang converitible in the parking lot of the bowling alley, but after i calmed down to look at it i realized body lines are REALLY lost in white, and the car wasn't what i was hoping to have for myself, i do not want to change the color of the car because i do like white, i just need something to give it a nice touch to add some "pizzazz" if you will.

some ideas i had were

blue shelby racing stripes
shelby outfit no tail lights
complete shelby exterior transformation =/
just leave it plain jane white

pics would be appriciated, i cant find any white convertible shelbys

Go with the Le Mans, they make it look mean IMO.

i actualy like the white, just didnt realize how it loses the body lines (which i also like) i think the blue le mans tripes would bring them back though.... not sure if i wanna go full shelby outfit though, its getting too cliche

I am the same way, I am so far from paint that my plans change every day (feels that way at least).

White is cool. I don't like the scoop everywhere Shelby look if it isnt a Shelby. The hood stripes AND the side stripes would be great. A more subtle look would be to do white with just the rocker stripes. (blue for all of these)

If you did want to do more than stock, but not the same old Shelby look, you could do a a California Special clone. Always like those, especially in white.

I'd recommend just the GT stripes, without GT emblems. I have a white car and wish I had the GT stripes to set it off. I think le mans stripes are a bit overdone.
