Default Shelby Stripes - What size are these?/Post your stripes

Hey guys, I've been really interested in getting my car striped (Vinyls), Red or Flat black; thinking about doing it next Summer.

Was wondering if you gents could post up some pics as I'm currently stuck trying to figure out if I want 10 inch wide or 12 inch wide stripes.

After doing some research, I found that the striping kit is usually as follows:
10 inches wide over the front bumper and the hood
11 inches over the roof
10.5 inches on the rear

This is to provide the illusion that they are all in line when looking at front of the car.

Also, if any of you have similar stripes, please post, I'm very curious to see the how big of a difference (visually) the 10s and 12s are.

Lastly, how wide would you guys assume these are?

Thanks in advance for the help + opinions!

The 10-11 Shelby's have skinnier stripes.
I believe they are an 8.
They look REALLY skinny.
I like the ones on the 07-09 A LOT better.

The 07-09's have 10" stripes with a 1.5" gap.
Here's our GT500

The 07s and 09s definitely have much better looking stripes - Not a fan of the skinny 8inch ones.

Those look pretty bad ***.
Anyone got 12 inch stripes I can take a peek at?

Also, those 10" stripes, are they 10" stripes from top to bottom?

I'm surprised to find that you guys see either 6" or 8" in these pics.
In my head I was fully guessing that these would've been 10 inch-ish.

Hmm....glad I'm getting these opinions!

I also found this link:

in this forum https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...stripes-2.html

How wide do you guys think these are as well?

Looking to go for the same look, but vinyl, not a fan of the gloss look.

I'd go with at least 10" stripes bumper to bumper.
