Default paint and other ideas or input....pics up and post up yours?

Heres what my mustang looks as of now. I'm getting it ready for paint and whatnot and have to decide on a paint scheme and stuff. I want to keep it the color silver, but im not sure what else i should do.

What would you think about two stripes up the hood scoop?

or a lot of times a see the body under the molding a black or something?

Any ideas or pics of these types of things with similiar colors?

Also do you think these tailights would look good? or mabey blacked out ones? Anyone have pics of those on there mustang.

Those are also the wheels i just picked up.

Any imput or pics would be sweet, thanks.

Im a fan of Mafia'd out cars, all black, but you have silver and chrome so.. the clear lights fit. I would like your car with black accents and the sides of the cowl black, and around the 4 eyes ect. Thats my 2c

I would go with blacked out lights, and.... i would keep it all silver... i dont think the stripes would look bad, but i like solid colors on foxes

USMC1775 i get what your saying about black on the side of the cowl where it inclines, i think thatd look pretty good, but what about other accents and around the headlights? im not really catchin you there? You got any pics of this that you have seen?

Also keep the moldings black?

I think the problem with silver is that you have to really do something to set it apart, since its such an overwhelming color. I think you should follow the sidemouldings by having little accents in black to break it up.



Thats my 30 sec paintshop and my 5 cents

I like the black accents. I wouldn't do the strips. I hate mine now & can't wait to repaint my stang. Just my 2 cents......
