stripes struggle
Hey all, im struggling here. Im about to do double fat racing stripes on a black gt and cant decide if i want the stealthy look (matte black) or the flashy yet classic flat white. Pretty simple issue, just need some opinions from the only people who know what they are talking about; mustang owners...
Thanks in advance,
Mason

I too am looking at matte stripes for X-mas...would love to see some pics.
We have plenty of silver ones around central Alabama so I'd like to be a little different.
Thanks to all in advance that can post a pic.

RE: stripes struggle
Ya i have considered them, but i would have to match up to my polished wheels and gas door from shr. I also have chrome hood pins so all this needsto match up. White is a great color... The place im looking at is called car fx in tulsa ok. Its taken the cover of 5.0 two months in a row now so im lucky to live so close. Will is the owner and has talked me into doing vynls for the price (around 450) and also the fact that they have a 5 or 7 year warranty against peeling and other defects.

RE: stripes struggle
My personal preference would be to go with the white...although gold looks classy too. I've seen a couple of black stangs with the white stripes and they look sweet (I might be a bit biased since my Torch red GT has white stripes......). There is a lady at my office that has a black GT/CS that has the grey CS stripes and they are hard to see unless you are up close. However, it all comes down to what you prefer and if you like the stealth look go for it!!!!

RE: stripes struggle
I say go white. I think a contrasting color will look better. The subdued black stripes would be hard to even notice.
