Default Thinking about changing it up..

Here is my 2007 Mustang GT, and before I start some more mods, I would like some opinions. The first picture is how she sits now, and the second picture is an idea of what I am moving towards. I know the photoshop is shady, but you get the idea. Lemme know what you think.

as a fellow white stang owner, i hope those stripes will be matte or satin black and not glossed

also, i've never really been a fan of all black wheels, but then some would say im crazy

I like the look your going after. The added black breaks up the white. Kinda of makes it look more aggressive. IMO. If you go that route how about painting the side mirrors too? I think it would look pretty cool having the tops of the mirrors painted white also.

I think the before looks better but that may just be the low quality photoshopping.
I love that hood and have been wanting it for my car for quite some time.

You car looks awesome as it is. The sideskirts look a bit out of place but would probably look better with some different rims

I appreciate the responses. If i do the put the stripes on, they will be a matte finish. Repainting / replacing the side mirrors is on my to-do list as well.

I like the hood stripes. Not so much on the wheels IMO. If you did the lower stripes you need to put pins above and below them, kinda like project85's. Have you thought about a "boss" stripe coming off the hood and down the door? I like the look of that on white. Change the "boss" to "GT" or something.

I think the black stripes with black or black chrome wheels will look great on the car.

Thanks for all your input. I think I am going to go with black wheels and hood stripes, but I am not going to put the rocker panel stripes on. Ill post some actual pictures once everything is installed.
