How wide are they? Usually 2 or 3 inches apart is good.

Most I've seen wrap around the spoiler plus go under it so both the spoiler and deck have stipes.

Are you just going with two stripes? I think that's too common.

I like two stripes with a pin stripe on the outsides, or super stripes from Baltimorestreetmods.com

I think you should go with what you think looks good... there are to many people who are bias to their own design. I rarely see any mustangs with stripes in my neck of the woods. Ive seen one with flame vinyls... i wanted to shoot this lady... she works at mcdonalds.. she riced her stang (with platic chrome rims to boot) and she sucks at taking orders because she doesnt speak/understand english... I told her to supersize my meal damnit...

Personally I don't even like stripes on sn95 and new edge Stangs. The bodies just don't fit them, unless it's the single black stripe like the Mach 1's.

When it comes to styling a car, its all about personal preference.. if u want stripes get stripes. It also helps if u have the right color combo.
