Default Strips?

What strips should I put on my 65 fastback, GT 350 and hood strips, tape or paint?

Do you want our opinion on strips or stripes?

Seriously, tape would be pretty ghetto. You gotta paint them on.

hehe I'll leave the comments alone since they have already been made.

The side stripes can be purchased and simply put on and are made from Vinyl. They should preferably be painted on the same as the hood stripes. I'll include the measurements for the side stripes. The Hood measurements can easily be Googled or found on Branda's website.

Side Stripe Measurements (thanks goes to Evil here)
The top is 7/16"
The space is 3/8"
The widest is 1 5/8"
The space is 3/8"
The bottom is 7/16"
If you do the letters, they are the same height of the mid stripe and take up from 12 to 14" with about 1/2" from the stripe to the start of the letter and start about 4" to 5" from the fender.

In all serious though. I would have them painted. Much more durable, and you don't have to worry about them cracking or fading.

as stated above you have to follow the width dimensions otherwise the stripes will create an optical illusion

Guns-n-Roses Don't Cry video for the win!

If you have a 350 GT fastback...omg...yes you need stripes!!!!

I would go with paint +3 or something.
