Default Black Racing Stripes on a Black Mustang?

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

LOL I thought this thread was a joke. I have black stripes on my tungsten gray and they don't stick out as much as I thought they would. I can't even imagine black on black. If I had a black car, I'd probably get white stripes. You want people to be able to see them.

Your black car already has black stripes on it. You just can't see them because they are the same color as the rest of your car.

I say go for it and then post pics. Black on black can best be photographed in the twilight.

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.

Not sure how they're over-rated, it's not a rating thing, it's a how you like it on your ride thing.

I rarely see the new Mustang's with stripes. Right now in my area I've seen a few, but the majority have none, here on the forum it seems the other way around. In reality who cares? Do what you like to see, not what you like to see on other peoples Mustang.

I'd like to see what a Vista Blue GT would look like in person with glossy black stripes. Or at least a quality picture of one. I'm for the subtle look myself, but I do like those Vista Blue cars with the white stripes.

Hi iluvmycar,

How about a pair of silver stripes sprayed on with interfence paint? I'm thinking about doing it with a 12" wide stripe on my Mineral Grey GT, it will hide the spoiler delete repairs I want to do so I can install a CDC ducktail and a black out trunk panel.


Cheers
