I'm not a fan of the side stripes.....until I saw them matched up with a set of stripes on top of the car. When they are matched up, it looks really good. I say go for it.

I would try detailers. Unless this guy is doing it on his own time, dealerships have mark-ups.
The rockers are a nice compliment to the rally.
They do need to match. I can't post pics yet.
(05 satin silver, 8" black gloss rally/tops only/no pinstripes)

ORIGINAL: defiant00

My car is black and I'm doing the racing stripes and rocker panel stripes in a dark charcoal or graphite metallic. I think it'll be cool.
I was going to get the darck charcoal metallic, or onyx metallic, but I tried some samples of these and I felt that the black looked the best with the black trim and dark tinted windows. I think the light or dark charcoal would look great on your car since it is already black, these would really set it off. I couldn't get any metallic black from an online vendor, had to go to the local sign shop and they arn't pre-cut so that is going to make it a bit more of a challenge to put on. Was thinking of ordering some of the rocker pannel stripes in the metallic black also, I guess I will check it out and see how it looks when they are doing the stripes.

I am also gonna get "Action Jackson" in some 1" satin silver lettering to put on my side windows untill I get my vents. I will probably do some more performance mods next though, so it will be a while of the vents.

Got my stripes in today, they are gonna look awesome, havn't seen one with the metallic black yet. I guess I'm gonna go ahead and pay someone to do it, but I might have to wait a couple of weeks, thought I was gonna have an extra $650 in overtime on this check, but its gonna be on the next one, 2 more weeks. Unless my insurance check comes in I am gonna have to put off this install. I ordered an extra couple of feet just in case and they said their supplier only had 30 ft left, it is gonna be tight, because I measured it at a little under 15 ft per side. At $5 per foot this stuff aint cheap, just hope they don't mess up the install.

I would stay away from the side stripes, I think they look like a big banner advertising MUSTANG; I had the dealer take mine off before I'd take delivery of the car. Just my opinion though.
