Default Stripes on s197

Well Im getting gloss black stripes on my Torch Red 07 GT. i was wondering what space between the stripes looks the best. .5inch, 1 inch, 1.5 inch, or 2 inch gap inbetween the two stripes. by the way im getting two 12" stripes from bumper to bumper

My car is the shop right now having my stripes painted. I went with 10" wide with a 2" gap and it looks perfect.

I had a 4" gap previously with my vinyls and it looked good I just think the 2" is better having seen both.

Here is a pic of it in the booth earlier today, gives you a good idea how they look with the 2"gap.

Mine are10" stripes witha 2" gap (standard spacing for BSM vinyl kit). I think 2" has a nice balanced look.
