Default White or Black stripes? help plz!

So i have an 08 blue Mustang GT/CS hardtop and i am most def going to have 12" lemans racing stripes put on but i dont know whether i want black or white. Honestly although white is pretty standard i like it a lot but i also kind of like black and is less common plus it would match the GT/CS decal along the side. So do u think it would still look better with white even if the two decals mismatch or should i go with black?

Go with black. White is played out and sticks out like a sore thumb IMO. Plus a black GT/CS side stripe with white lemans stripes up top wouldn't look good at all.

I personally would not mix stripe colors, it's got to be one or the other.

go black... I just had my sides painted in black and they look great now... I also love how they blend kinda on the visa blue.

SLCustomsGTCS - Thanks, your car's stripes look SWEET! I'm in the process of putting Matte Black rally stripes on my Vista Blue Roush & hadn't seen any pics... just trusted my instincts, but now that I've seen yours I'm SURE I'm going to LOVE the outcome!

OP - I say BLACK all the way!

Sounds like you are leaning towards black.....go that route.

ok so i'm pretty much convinced that i want black stripes but now that brings up a follow-up question. should i go vinyl or painted? and as far as price goes about how much would it be to have them completely installed or painted on?
