Default Got my Stripes! What do ya think?



What do ya think?
I've also gotten some comments about how my rocker stripes don't match my racing stripes... Do you think it is that noticeable?

Looks good. I think it looks fine with with rockers. If it bothers you, maybe remove the pin stripes on the rockers. Painted or vinal?

Factory rockers and aftermarket racers dont belong on the same PP, IMHO.
Get the FRPP racing rocker stripes FTW.

Who decided to cut the stripes out around the front licence plate area?
Big mistake there. I woulda/coulda striped it right on down and under placing
the required licence plate on top.
Looks kinda goofy IMHO but its your stang and you asked....
No race car I have ever seen with racing stripes had them cut out
for a licence plate.....
They look a little wide and a little too close together.
Whats the width (12"?) and spacing (1"?).
How were the OEM windshield squirter nozzle locations addressed?

I bought the stripes precut from baltimore street mods and they had the stripes cut around the license plate. The squirt nozzles were also cut around. The stripes are 12" wide with a 2" space between them. And yeah, I was thinking about taking of the rocker stripes and replacing them with aftermarket ones.

They look fine to me, the whole she-bang. Nothing wrong with any of it, big thumbs up.

Those are white, right? Hard to tell for sure if they are white or silver.

They're white. Do white stripes fade at all?
