Default Stripe Width

I'm putting white racing stripes on my Windveil Blue 06 Mustang GT in about a week and I wanted some opinions on stripe and gap width. Personally I like wide stripes so I want somewhere between 10 and 12" wide stripes with a gap of 1 to 2".

It's a tough decision because I think the wider stripes and gaps look better from most angles. But anything wider than about 22.5" in total starts to stick out past the fog lights, which is unnoticable from an angle but bad from a front view.

Here are the pics for what I've narrowed it down to. Your vote?

10" with a 2" gap


10.5" with a 1.5" gap



10.75" with a 1" gap



12" with a 1" gap

I think the 12"ers look killer! They make the car look wider and more aggressive.

I'm going with 12" stipes on mine if I don't paint my hood black like the GT-R.

I just put on some ghetto duct tape 11" stripes with a 1.5" gap to see how it'd look painted on. Here's a pic I took with my camera phone so you can see what it looks like.


I think it's a pretty nice middle ground b/c they're wide and have a pretty large gap but don't stick out too far past the fog lights.
