Default Which side stripes look better?

So I want to break up some of the blue on my car. I already have white stripes on the car but was thinking about adding the side stripes. I saw on ebay they have quite a few to choose from and wanted to get some opinions. They have the GT500, the mustang, the GT350, and the GT500R and GT350R. I like the GT500 because they are orginal 69' knockoffs but wonder if it will look cheasy with the new shelby's on the way.

With what your putting down I think you're safe going with GT500.

I don't think it should say anything that the car is not... Even if it's as good or better than the real thing.

I think the Style 1s are the best of the ones that eBayer is selling.

I have admired what you have done with your car for a while now. I really think you should ditch all the stripes and look into a BOSS scheme. Your car is as bad *** and rare as the original BOSS mustang. If you are not into the History, the real BOSS mustangs had a factory beefed bottom end 302 that was capable of reaching 450hp N/A. No reason what you have accomplished with your car isn't worthy of carrying on such a tradition of "pulling out all stops"

Well thanks for all the info guys. I LOVE the Boss idea but if I started it, I'd go all the way cause I'm that kind of guy and then I'd end up redoing the body kit too and I don't want to do that. I finally made a decision. BTW andy, all the Roush labels are gone nowand all stickers are coming off. I even ordered cervinis lower fascia lip to get rid of the Roush block letters in that part of the kit. That's my whole point, lot's of people have a roush, cervinis, street scene, saleen, etc. etc.. I want to create something that takes from all the parts I think are the best to have a truly unique looking ride. I just met with a screen printer yesterday and he is making me custom side stripes to match the prototype 07 GT500. I don't know if the actual production car will have these stripes or not but I really like the way they use the new 'GT' logo in them so I'm going with them. It's already paid for so it's a done deal. I'll have those and new bumber to bumper white stipes and the Cervinis side scoop vents put on the end of next week. I'll post some new pics after install... I'm still considering cervinis hood but I'm not making a decision till monday on that. I'm leaning no right now.

Here's some pics of the side stripes I'm putting on...

I think leaving it as is would be your best bet. To many stripes get rid of the clean, subtle look and all the sudden their is simply too much for the eyes.
