I asked this question in the newb section and someone suggested that I ask in this section.Does anyone have any pictures of an 05-07 torch red GT vert with white stripes.Im thinking of putting them on my car but Im not sure how they will look.I have seen pictures of this combination on a GT500 but not on just a regular GT.

I really like them! How wide are they? Also what is the spacing on them? I am guessing 12" and 1" spacing, right?

They look great on the Vert.
Graphic Express has them. Go for the wider 12" tapered.
I purchased the 10" and they looked puney so I exchanged them for the wider.

Personally, I think the black top would be too much of a clash for the white stripes. Then again, i'm not a big fan of full length stripes on convertibles at all. I think the best looking full length stripe color for you would be either ghost stripes or a different shade of red. If it was my car I would do something in black to match the top. Maybe some Foose stripes.

I'd say go with white, I don't think they would look bad with the black top at all. Black stripes don't "pop" like white. I went with 10" stripes w/ a 2" gap just like the GT500. I had alot of people tell me I should get black, but when I got the white they all agreed it looked better.
