What stripes should I get?

[Mr. Ugly]

Here's the deal... My car got egged over Spring break, and I just got the cracked/chipped paint repaired like last month. Now it's summer break and people have been going around the neighborhood trashing cars and houses again. So now my car has new scratches on the roof and more chipped out paint near the top of the back window. I was thinking maybe just to touch up the paint a little and cover it with some vinyl stripes. Originally, I was just planning to do a black Steeda stripe on the hood. I like the dark, low key look. Now I'm starting to consider 12" wide white Lemans stripes, or a single white superstriipe, because of the messed up paint on the roof. Or maybe there's a way to do something really wide like the Steeda all the way over the roof ad trunk. I really like the look of the white stripes, but they're a little too flashy/racy for my car. So what do you guys think I should do? I'm open to suggestions. Here's pics of my car, and pics of stripes that I like so far. I'd be ok with removing my trunk blackout if necessary.

You have some pretty good ideas there.But how about something like this? I feel this stripe looks pretty good without a hood scoop.(Just the hood stripe,the rest is pretty blingy)
As always your ride is really looking good!

I have Satin Silver as well, when I had my stripe painted the painter told me to pick out a color with metal flake as most all silvers have met in them and the stripe should as well. That said I stayed away from the white even though I did like the way it looks in that picture. I went with a 19" SS stripe 1" gap and 1" pins in met black pearl paint. Good luck and post some pics when you get it done!

Just a thought; dont really expect stripes to cover up scratches if they are deep. Well, they will 'cover' them sure, but make sure you have it smooth under the stripes.
if there's a deep gouge, the stripe won't stick there and could cause a bubble, or even show a small crease/line where the scratch is.
But if the scratches are just shallow, you'll be ok.

That sucks about your car, man... I like the way ICIBUY's Stang looks with his stripes, but then again, I've always thought the bold single stripe was sharp on silver cars.

Thanks for all the comments and tips, guys. I appreciate it.

Patrick, that FR500S looks great. I like that stripe even more than the Steeda stripe.



Can't argue with a man that puts a V6 spoiler on his GT. Your car rocks

10" Double Black Stripe with a 1" gap will look absolutely
great on your color...!!!

[Mr. Ugly]

Thx Frank. Pretty sure I'm going with black rather than white stripes.

Please keep the pics and ideas coming, everybody!

Found some more pics of that GO FR500S.





Don't recall ever seeing any kit for doing that stripe. Wonder if that could be done with a couple 18" superstripe kits installed side by side with no gap.

Here is what you do, get the 10" double stripe with a 1" gap and 1/4" pins with a 1/4" gap in gun metal gray to match your wheels and get the side rocker stipes removed.
