Default STRIPES

Can anyone in here show me any pics of A black stang 05+ with yellow stripes?
I know I want stripes ;on my car but im not sure to go with silver white or yellow on my black 06 stang.
I've seen many with white and silver stripes but not one with yellow stripes yet. I painted my calipers yellow and took off the bottom stripes and added 1/4 louvers.
Another thing......im realy really thinking of going with 12 inch wide strpes all the way down .......what do you guys think?
When I do get the stripes im sure it will be from Baltimore mods.........I havent heard anything bad about them yet. unless..........someone in here says otherwise.
Oh yea I want my stripes all the way down my front bumber too..........looks kinda incomplete if it isnt............does it cost extra because I see alot of stangs with the stripes only to the front end of the hood and not all the way down the front bumper. Are the stripes (vinyl) easy enough to do a self install? .......thank you all so much and sorry for so many questions......

For color comparisons try this out: http://www.spectrummarcom.com/mustan...pepainter.html I bought my precut stripes from Baltimore Street Mods and they weren't to hard to do. The car must be spotless and I recommend you do it on a day that's warm, without direct sunlight, and you have a lot pf patience. Another important thing is to use pieces of masking tape down the center line to guide where you put the stripe. Without a straight line to slide the stripe parallel to you'll be way off since it's very difficult to just eyeball.
The way I figured it, I spent a little over $100 with shipping so if I totally botched up the job, I could buy a complete other set and still be ahead over what it would cost me to have them done anywhere. The stripes you're thinking of buying will go right down the bumpers too!

Has far as 12" wide goes IMHO that sounds a bit too wide, you will be into the washer squirters and probably wider than the space between the GT lights and I'm not sure how that will look.
Maybe you can download some of the pics from the site above and do some photoshopping on them and see what you think.

I painted my calipers yellow too. I do have silver stripes but I outlined them with yellow pinstripes. To make a long story short, I now have double lighter-silver pinstripes around the larger stripes because the yellow looked to bat-mobileish. The virtual stripe painter makes them look pretty good. maybe it has to do with the shade of yellow. The pic below is what it used to look like.

For what it's worth. I think I'd go all the way down and across the bumper when I do it again.
