Yes. It is Winter here in Wisconsin. Summer rubber will be back on in April maybe.
The stripes do measure up. Maybe looks odd from the angle. That was the biggest reason I had a pro do it this time. Everything measures exactly. Perfectly flat and no air bubbles.

This is going to be an odd thing to tell another male, but you need a shorty.
Other than that, I like the stripes. I don't think a blue offset would do you justice because blue isn't quite a neutral color. Black and grey are, but I don't think there's any pinstripe that can compliment that color scheme you have there.

I live in Wind Lake. Had the stripes done by Ewald's Venus Ford in Milwaukee. I bowl with one of their Senior techs and he had the body shop do me the favor. They do a lot of custom cars I guess. Saw a couple a World of Wheels this weekend. See the couple of pics below.
As far as pinstripe color. Maybe I can leave it alone. I know Foose did at least 2 cars on Overhaulin' that were black with silver-ish stripes. Then he outlined them in a yellow. Looked sharp on his cars. With my red calipers that might look odd. I could always change the calipers though too.

Global warming baby. Global warming. I've lived here long enough to figure out the weather. Bought the rims last year with the tax refund. They weren't in the garage for very long.

I like the stripes! They actually match the factory wheels you have on the car now. Honestly, I don't think it's going to look half as good when you have to switch back to your aftermarket rims...but then again, I don't like chrome wheels.
Nice Mustang!
