Default Thinking about adding stripes

Got one question for you all. Just wanting feedback. My car is black and am thinking of putting some Gabber Blue striping on it. Not necessarily stirpes down the middle. What do you think about the two color's matching? Stripes down the middle, just adding something on the sides, or just something on the hood?

Then yoou need to goo real paint...everyone raves about these graphics, but if you are going to commit to stripes yoou need to drop $2000 and just have done right.....the whole car gets sanded, yes whole car....then striped, then 4 to 6 real clear coats, better than factory, the water just comes off like water off a duck...no need worry about being careful with real wax, no ridges...this was all done to mt '10 GT...they are not black, have to look close, black with red pearl shot over black.









then a little of my madness thrown under the hood lol

You could try graphic express. You can get samples from them.

Your SS raise and My Military retirement.....which in last 2 years have gone backwards, ..hey fine don't give me a raise, but why make it go backwards LOL

Jlc41....Do you have a Stang?..Just curious...nothing wrong with the '10 Taraus, especially if the one with all wheel drive, 20" wheels and turbo eco boost! The price of that one was closer to the new Boss though. LOL

6+6, No I don't have one yet. Am waiting for the 2014(Anniversery) edition. I can't make up my mind between the coup or the vert. The Taraus is wife's car. It's a Limited but not a SHO. You know what they say, when Momma's happy everybodies happy.

I like what you are doing with your ride looks cool.
