i want to put stripes on my 06 stang. it is metalic refire in color. but im not sure what kind of stripes to get. two down the center? somethin like the BOSS? and what color?
please help me with some ideas.

 

It's all going to be personal opinion here... get some tape and tape of your stang in all the ones that you like.... takes pics then compare them... thats what I did[&:]

 

Here's my thoughts.

Double Stripes are for the retro 60's look. The 10" are sufficient, but the 12" put a modern spin on the retro look.

The big single strip is more modern and unique - I personally like it better with the two 1/2 inch pinstripes on either side.

The boss stripes are unique too, but there has to be a high contrast between the color of the car, and the color of the stripes. Black/Yellow, Black/White, etc..

I guess you gotta pick a "theme" and run with it.. try to be inspired by others on this forum! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

unless, of course, you are one of those dumb ***** who puts "SHELBY" and "COBRA" emblems on their V6 'stang and think that they're fooling everyone...

 

Ya color it a personal opinion. What looks great to one person might suck to another. Myself I like contrast. I just put on White stripes this past weekend to contrast with the Vista Blue. Your color I've seen White & Silver stripes that looked great. Black no contrast. Almost don't see them. I suggest looking at stripe companies like. Graphic-Express, Baltimore Street Mods & Bob White. Sometimes they have customer car photos to see different color/shape/sizes. Just do what "you" like and you'll be happy down the road.

 

Someone on this forum just put on white stripes on red last week....maybe they will chime in!!

I personally love the 10" stripes x 2......make sure you add both the front and rear bumpers, just adds some extra little touch!!

 

IMHO No matter what color or style you choose, I think doing the bumpers is a must. This was started one evening and completed the next day by noon!
