Anyway, I think it would be a really cool color combination. Very subtle and classy, and totally different than any other Mustangs out there.
I saw a redfire GT with that color stripes for sale at the Chino Hill Ford Dealership over here, i didn't really care for it, it just didn't look right. I really like the dark silver from the first page or the gold, very classy.

If white is removed from the equation, Redfire becomes one of the hardest base colors to stripe imo. Good luck!

Getting painted stripes is a good thing. I had painted my hood and deck lid silver.If you already have a set of painted silver wheels try and match the wheel color. Its a real PIA to match silver stripes and a set of aftermarket wheels.Unless you go with chrome wheels you'd be OK. To avoid color matching/clashing go with black stripes.

I like 10 inch stripes, 1/4 inch pins with a 1/4 inch space between them and the main stripes. 2 inch space between the main stripes...here you go!

Also would it look better under the hood scoop or over the hood scoop. To many decisions to decide. HELP!!!
I like 12" stripes and I've seen a redfire car with dark silver metallic stripes that looks really good. If that is the stuck-on scoop hide it under the stripes.

If you can post pics of your car, it would help us decide.

How about having the paint shop mix up 1 shade lighter or darker than the base for the car itself and having them layed down in flat (similar to the popular black on black scheme)? I personally think either 10" or 12" would look good, but I would include the additional pinstripes outside either stripe as the plain stripes look, well.......PLAIN. Just my .02...........

my black gt is going in next week for painted stripes. I am just trying to figure out if ill go metallic silver of some sort or tungsten grey like the gt 500 option a couple years back. There are so many shades of silver its hard to know what will look right.

Hey guys i have like the same question for my redfire GT on wether what color stripes to put on it. i didnt know cuz i have a black billet grill and wanted to keep it black and red but i still dont know,

but i just saw this paint scheme, its not a stripe but i think it might look good painted on my 2008 redfire GT. wat do you guys think? this or stripes, btw if i got this type of paint scheme, i would probably add a shaker kit by CDC. so wat do you guys think?
