Stripes are over rated. Many people want them to stick out, though now that everyone has them... What's going to stick out? One without them.
Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say "everyone" has them. Sure, you look around the forum and there's a pretty big percentage of new mustang owners that have stripes. But then I get on the roads around here, and for every hour I drive around I may see one new mustang. And maybe only 1 out of every 20 new mustangs I catch a view of in all my driving time has stripes. I'm sure they are more prevelant in some areas, but in mine hardly anyone has done stripes or any kind of bodymods to their new stangs yet.

As far as black on black stripes....well, I'm not sure I see the point. They wouldn't show up very well I would think. You'd have to do the stripes in a slightly lighter tone black for them to show up at all. Either that, or you could do some satin finish black stripes........now that might be interesting. If you do come up with a black on black solution....be sure to post pics of it because I'd sure like to see how it would look.

Agreed, I originally ordered a Vista Blue GT with white stripes but decided on a '67 look instead using black and white. But Vista and white sounds good to me!

Ive seen the mock up photos on test your accessories sites and it looks good. But I wonder if the stripes would really show as they do on the examples that are not real photos.
If it would look like that I think it would look great.
Anyone have this on a black one or know if it would really show?
I dont wanna buy stripes that would not show at all.
But I do like the deep look of the black on black.
Any opinions?
Thx

Yah i was going to say ive seen that car on here a few times with the black with flat black stripes it looks amazing ... personally i think some stripes can just be too flashy sometimes so i really like that look if not go with a silver or dark grey thats just my opinion though

I've seen the one that White Stallion is talking about and the car did look awesome. After seeing the pictures, I want to put the matte black stripes on mine. Only problem is that my husband gets the first mod (bought his Rubicon Unlimited a month before mine), and he's taking way too long to figure out what he wants to do. [:@]

I think it looks hot. Have been considering it for some time. Very stealthy looking!
