They're decent looking. Besides, they're just stripes.

They look fine, but don't really go with the car.

No way! If it's not a true BOSS, then don't use them.

I agree... here is a crazy idea... see how the real ones had "boss" & "302", make both lines in to one big "GT", the GT would be two colors cut in half. The bottom within the stripe are body color, and top half that are above the stripe are stripe color.


Edit: Super technical design work, hahahahahah.. but like this:

Boss stripes or Mach hood's keep crossing my mind for mine, so have some thought in to it.

Yeah, to me, the BOSS and Mach 1 stripes completely commit or compliment the 69-70 style on a S197.

Yes, do it. You love this look and the cars I've seen look good. It's all about personalizing your ride and it should make you happy.

I love 'em personally. I wish they came standard. You could always do a big 4.6L and/or your cars name ( I just assume everyone names their stangs) lol, go for it.

That would look good too probably. I say go for it, drive around with it for a while, see if you like me, and if you dont, take em off.

Well if we're allowed to show visual aids....



I think you should do something like that.

09cs, you make a good point- it's just vinyl right- I could always take it off. Just need to figure out where to get them.

UpTo11, I like that one too, but would take away the GT and just have the 281. I wonder how 4.6L would look?

Anyone recommend a place to get them? I noticed Baltimore Street Mods has some decent stuff.
