Default Side Striping... opinions please!!

So I have the nice stripes up the front, over the top and down the back. I am considering putting stripes on the rocker panels. What do you think???

the car has Autumn Gold striping up the front, top and down the back. My thoughts were the same color on the rockers as well. To do it or not is the question, not what color......

I think a rocker strip would look great. I think the style that would match the best would be a solid stripe with pinstripes like the pony package stripe but without the lettering. You can get all kinds of designs at Baltimore Street Mods with/without lettering. If you decide to go with lettering you can get whatever you want, which i think is pretty cool. Great looking racing stripes by the way, love everything about them.

Its not a bad color combo.I remember seeing an older 66'350 Shelby with factory gold striping on blue.I think your s-197 looks classy with the gold stripes.

Thanks guys. I struggled with doing either white or Gold. Everyone wanted me to do white, so i just had to be me and do the Autumn Gold instead.

the only bad part is the color is a 2005 Ford stripe color and it does not match any aftermarket Gold stripes. I had these done at the Ford dealer to get the exact color I wanted. They can do plain stripes or add wording... now the choice is probably words or no words.. if words..what should i have put in the stripes??
