Default RE: Rocker Stripes

Oh man, I am soooooo torn between the two. I have rocker stripes and I really like them. My car is black with 2 white stripes over the top and white rocker stripes. I was worried what it might look like with only the top 2 stripes. Because, I might get rid of my rocker stripes someday, but I don't think that I will ever get rid of my top stripes! I was glad to see so-cali's car both ways because it really gave me some good ideas about what my car would look like. So this what I think I'm going to do. I'm going to keep my rocker stripes untill I'm totally sick of them. Then, I'll go without for a while. Then, I think I'll go with "other". If I really had to choose, I think "other" might be my choice. However on a black car the type of"other" rockers might be a real tough choice.

Why dont you go to the Chop Shop and have someone photoshop your car without the rockers so you can get a feel of how it would look like? Maybe you dont have to wait til' you're sick of them LOL

Just paint your mirrors and sideskirts and lower it. You will be suprised how much different/better it will look.

Yea I aint planning on going insane with the exterior of my car, IMO I think it looks extremely nice how it is, subtlties such as painting my mirrors will make it stand out without doing much to it such as adding GT appearancestuff.

Since you have the racing stripes, either way looks fine. ;-)

If you didn't have the racing stripes I would say to take them off...JMO

i sort of like the black rocker stripes on a white Mustang (like mine), but without the "Mustang" text - i.e.: just change it out to two plain stripes. see if your friend can photoshop that to see how it looks.
i bought a heat gun tonight, to totally remove my stripes and the door bumper guard, perhaps this weekend (i agree with the "less is more" comment - i am a minimalist at heart). but would be interested to see what two stripes look like...

nice rims, grilles and body stripes.

I like the car without stripes. I actually just ripped mine off this weekend and fell in love with the car all over again. It looks soo much better. But for some reason.. that car might look better with it.
