BTW, if you decide to go that route... that white rocker stripe is really easy to remove. On the other hand, if you really, really wanted both the rocker stripe AND the rally stripes (which is okay in my book) then you could get the black rocker stripe for only $39 http://www.americanmuscle.com/rocker...ck-letter.html

Then you could go ALL black on your blue base. I'm thinking awesome.

I'd say, you could go either way. Chrome would go with any stripe choice, and I think you could pull off the white and black.



I think that looks pretty decent, wouldnt you say?

Although, I am partial to the black and blue...


Damn I front plates...

No stripes yet, gonna do a black superstripe in the spring.

It's really up to you. I think either looks nice. Lots of options out there. Oh yea paint your calipers red it will set it off nice.

Black wheels FTW, I'm biased. Maybe look into getting some "Black Chrome" wheels for the summer and using the wheels that are on it in the winter? What kind of exhaust did you get? Pics when done.

Only picture I have of my Stang right now. Don't mind the beads hanging in the rear view, my girlfriend likes to drive it sometimes so I let her put them up haha. It was kinda dirty when I took the picture, and the quality is a bit crappy. I had to size the image down so the original size wouldn't destroy the forum.

That blue with the white stripes both rocker and racing is sweet! Nice work.
What about a slightly darker blue super snake stripe? Or gloss black.
I will look for a pic to post.

The black wheels look good on the blue car. I am trying to find someone to trade my chrome ones with right now. Black is OK!!
