Looks ok to me, I might go with a light gray or silver stripe instead of white though. Just off white to the metallic side, not the yellow side. White still looks good, but some argent would look better IMHO.

I agree...maybe a silver or charcoal colored stripe to match the wheels

Thumbs up

Looks great! I wanted a pure bright white on the green for ours but on the blue I agree with others that something else would look better. Ask your painter about a light silver pearl added to the white stripes.

I say yes to wheels and no to stripes on your car. Those wheels are sweet!

The stripes and the wheels match very well. They seem to have a simular design and thats what I like about it. I like the combo, plus the white looks sharp against the deep color of the car.

thanks for all the replies. I'm starting to like the silver idea and a quick check revealed that black even looks good (more subtle). I got a white decal but I believe it's a bit too much in your face with the bright white ....
I couldn't use any other color apart from black/white/grey (including silber) with this car.

I'll upload a few more pics later when back home.
I'm a fan of huge tires on muscle cars so they probably stay 15" wheels.

for the lowering: the rear is about perfect now. no rubbing, even with 4 people in car.
the front clearly needs the shelby drop alright

i first made another picture using bright grey to produce silver. it almost looks like the picture in adrenolins signature color wise (is yours white???)

then i asked my girlfriend for an opinion, she likes the wheels but she says the car is quick enough even without the stripes... and that's what they're for ... right? she says the car looks sleek and understated, one would assume there's some machine in there, so there's no need for stripes.
She said we'll just go and buy a bit of white and bright grey electrical tape and bang it on when the sun is shining and decide from there ... sounds like a smart idea.

i've decided towards the wheels though. first the quicktricks are rustbuckets and heavy and i prefer the look of those V50s. money decided that i bought the cragars though. had no money left after buying transmission and rear axle ....
