I like your choice in color....it definitely is unique and looks great.....I also vote that you DO add the side stripes to the car. It would bring it altogether nicely. Good job~!

Thanks for the comments. So would GT300 be a good choice??

I think this is totally a personal preference...but I like just stripes along the sides without any letters or numbers.

You do what you like best

+1 on both SaddleUp's comments.

I say go for it, but I'm a bit biased, haha

As for lettering on them, hard to say. I opted for no lettering due to maintenance concerns, but that is just paranoia by me (bad experiences on decals pulling off over the years)

I agree with Saddleup on this as well do the stripes without the GT300 but it would still look good either way. I have the GT500 stripes as I have 500+ hp in my GT hence my username. Choice is yours but that color combo is cool and the side stripes would only accent it!

I discussed it with my girlfriend and she likes the GT300 idea. I personally think plain stripe would look best for me. She personally feels like I should not spend any money on the car at all because "it's just a car!! Why spend money on it?". I told her Victoria Secrets was just another lingerie store so why should I spend money on that!!

Might be time for a new girlfriend that shares my passion. To me there is nothing sexier than a woman who can handle a sports car..

So i woke up with this idea...tell me what ya think.....CS stripe in Autumn Gold? It's gonna be different for sure..plus it's vinyl so if it looks like crap i could take it off and put just the rocker stripe on...

Whatcha think about the Autumn gold CS stripe??

The California Special stripe looks good, but I still think I like the idea of the lower rocker panel stripes for your car....

And I think you should mod your car.....what does she know anyways if she says the Mustang is "just a car"!?!?!?!
