there's a reason why they typical le mans stripes are so popular. Classic look on a Mustang. I love mine on the silver car. To each his own.

I'm for grey stripes, and you gotta get smoked corners, then you got that awesome monotone look!

I like the grabber blue a lot. A guy at my work used to have an 05 GT white w/ blue just like that. Then he got a challenger...

The Grabber Blue looks a little too much for me, any of the other colors look fine. I am going thru the same thing on silver GT. I am stuck between grey and black or maybe even ghost stripes, they will be painted on with a new hood also, I have never been much for vinyl.

Personally I think the Grabber Blue is a little too bright but any of the other colors are fine. I am going thru the same thing on my silver GT. I cant decide between black, grey and maybe ghost stripes. They will be painted on when i get my new hood.

The results are in:



I put on navy blue 12" stripes from baltimore street mods. I might get them painted on (putting on stripes is a pita. the hood is perfect but I messed up a few spots on the front bumper. I'll try to redo it next week. I still have to do the back of the car.
