Default Another Redfire Stripe Crisis!

Alright, so I looked everywhere for a good looking stripe combo for my 06 redfire.

First of all, it is SO hard to find good pictures of redfires.

Second, it's hard to find a good stripe combo for these things.




Where do you guys think I could find a stripe kit like that, with the two main stripes and the two edge stripes?

Do you guys think that looks good?

And finally, do you guys think that would look alright with a honeycomb blackout panel, or should I leave the decklid alone if I go with silvers?

The stripes look completely normal next to the grille so i dont see why it would look funny around the rear panel.
The stripes you have pictured look good. IMO i would keep the side stripes small like pictured (looks like 1/2 inch pin stripes??) and not 1" stripes.
Silver doesnt look bad, hard to find a good color to match, IMO its either silver or black.

Personally id go with the style shown or something more like the SS but a little wider.

Baltimore street mods for the kit, also has the pinstripe kits. I have a dual 12" kit and it fit great. Go to his site and look at all the pics there, you will find what you like best.

I also had silver on my Redfire for a little over a year.

I would recommend getting the kit from BaltimoreStreetMods.com. You can get the pinstripe and the main stripes from them. I've included pictures of my car as is now to give you ideas as well.

Sorry the pics aren't good, they are from my phone. The end result I have right now include black foose tribute stripes (from baltimorestreetmods.com) outlined with a silver pinstripe right up against it. I installed them myself, and also painted my stock wheels during the same week of vacation. Gave my car a great make over and was a lot of fun doing. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

I also looked long and hard for stripes for my ride last year. It seems to be a personal thing, some like bold some like traditional and some colors are just hard to find a stripe that fits (redfire is tough). Then you get to deal with the size of the stripes, the gap between them and, well do you want pin stripes and how big. These are the burdens we have when we want to personalize a mustang. Good luck, here is an other idea for you, I had these painted on my car last winter and am very happy with them. (sorry for the glare, it's the best i have of the stripes)

i spent alot of time looking a well, if you get white stripes the contrast is waaaaay to bright. if you get black, it looks good but looks really really dark. the only color i think looks good with a redfire is silver, but after along time of thinking, i decided that redfire is best left alone...
