You cannot improve upon the stripes you have... that's FN PERFECT! Now if only you could change the horn for a COWBELL you'd be all set!

EDIT: OMG you've GOT to lower that car! Forget the stripes and think "springs"...

Lol!! Thank you guys for all of the compliments and comments. Looks like my stripes are gonna stay how they are. I like that they are unique, and they get looks all the time. It just kinda bugs me that they end at the hoodline because i cant think of a way to incorporate them into the superstripe.

And, yes I do need a drop........badly. I was looking at getting these springs http://store.roushperformance.com/detail.aspx?ID=1007
Its nice that they still use the stock shocks and struts and they seem like a pretty decent drop. Does anyone have these springs or pictures of a car with these springs on them?

Didn't realize that they did end on the fender. Now THAT's a whole different story!!!

Not sure why that's problematic though. The "Regular" Boss superstripe should work fine. One wide stripe down the middle of the hood that ends just before the windshield. One skinny stripe would wrap across the hood along the windshield side and match the one on the other side. The other skinny stripe would make the curve and end at the leading edge of the hood.

Made that clear as mud didn't I?

Yeah, thats how my matte black stripes used to be, I loved the look even though i did install the smaller stripes too far from the middle. But im just worried if i do that same thing with these stripes that the hood will look too crowded because it will have like nine stripes on it haha. Heres what it looks like now





Here is how it was

I was just about to write that you shoudn't change a thing, but now that I see that the side stripes end at the hood line, I gotta say keep the gray or silver color but go back to the design when they were matte. I'm actually contemplating doing those very stripes.
