STRIPE ADVICE?????
I am torn between striping and not striping. I think the car looks clean but it also could use the contrast. So I'm going to do 11" stripes. Now, my big dilemma is, WHAT COLOR STRIPES SHOULD I DO? I was going with flat black originally, but with these grey Foose wheels will black stripes work or should I try to find a Grey stripe that will match? And if I do find a good Grey, will it lookright on the yellow? PLEASE HELP WITH ANY ADVICE, I DON'T WANT TO DO SOMETHING AND REGRET IT LATER, THATS WHY I'M ASKING YOU GUYS. WHO BETTER THAN OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS.

Mellow, you can get away with either black or grey, however, if it were my ride, I would go with a perfectly matched grey. I know your hesitation with the clean look, I've gone through the same thing twice! I will say that in both cases, the stripes were perfect (torch red 02 and screaming yellow 05). I am going to have to find you a picture that may put your worries to rest... once I find it, I'll post it for you. Remember you can go glossy as well, all depends on your flavor. Nice ride by the way! [sm=Flahssssss.gif]

I know this isnt your grey, more of a metallic silver but I thought it still looked great on this car. Your rims look to be pretty dark. Just my two cents and good luck with whatever you decide...

tough call cause the wheels... black on yellow looks great IMO.....
if you could match the wheels so it was an imperceptable difference that would look good as well.....
a coin flip as either should look great!!

Ivote for black, also watch out how wide you go because withhi contrast colors you really don't need to go too wide.
My Stripes are 9 1/4" - 2" - 9 1/4" by the way.

Most yellows have black stripes - all the more reason to go grey. It's dark enough to look great and light enough for 11" stripes (with 1/4" pins if you so choose). also, for us **** retentives it is necessary to match wheel color. But if you choose black, IMO flat would be more destinctive.........
