Default Advice on strip colors for GT hardtop (SILVER)

Everyone,

I am having a hard time deciding on the color stripes to put on my GT. I was thinking black but something tells me I should go another color. Advice?

thanks.

What color of interior did you get? You may want to consider getting something to go with the interior so your colors don't clash.

I was going to give you a link to the stripe painter web site but it looks like they took it down.

You can only go white or black - anything else would look ridiculous. So as the reply's have noted, match to your interior. If you have light interior, go white, and if dark, go black.

I think a darker-silver tone (like mineral grey, or tungsten or whatever) on a bright silver car would look really classy. Of course, you know you can't go wrong with black.

You are going to get 100 different reasons to use 100 different colors. Be different, go with the color that you like. The satin silver is good color because there are so many different colors that goes good with it. It is all a mstter of personal preference.

I even like the sonic blue stripes on the silver car or even redfire stripes. The mineral grey even looks just as good. But if you like the ghost effect, use a little darker shade of gray.

if you want to be unique, dont get stripes... there are about 8 mustangs in the town i live in (small) and EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS STRIPES... every one that dosent have them wants them... i would spend that 1000.00 on SOMETHING ELSE... CHEVY KILLER-- i love the blue dash... is that painted or like a carbon fiber kit??

Carbon Fiber kit. California Mustangs (online store) has about 10 styles to choose from in just about every color and texture. I have the upgraded piece kit which covers just about everything but you can buy a basic kit for around $200 that is just the main dash elements. It is a glue kit that takes about 1 - 1 1/2 hrs to do right.
