Default White stang with matte black stripes...

any pics you guys could find on this would be awesome...i want to replace my stripes with the roush stripe kit but i can only find the kit in matte black for the $ im willing to pay for it so before i get it i want to see how it looks....im skeptical because i have gloss black stripes now so going form that to matte would be a significant change so i would just like to have an idea of what to expect....thx

If you touch your car it would be an ******* move. It's beautiful! Leave it be. Try calling Roush directly on this, the gloss black definitely makes the car cool visually.

Matte should look good, but from what I have heard it is a PITA to clean.

Why not have PASCAL paint them on?

Whenever I am done with perf mods I am going to go see him for a set of stripes I think.

Check out Porsche Basalt Black Metallic. That is my fav.

PITA to clean?

just dont wax the stripes lol


i will say that all your other gloss black will look funny with flat black on there

so either change all of it or none of it

I have heard the PITA is to keep the wax off them as well as water spots. Only second hand info though, but I thought it might be helpful.

I agree with not wanting to mix Gloss and Flat.

I am still thinking painting is the way to go if you know 100% you want strippes.

I think matte black is the only way to go on a white car. That's what I plan on doing to mine.
