Default 10" or 12" stripes?

I have a sonic blue mustang and wanted to put some stripes on it. I ordered 10" silver stripes to go down but not sure if its what I want. I was looking towards the 12" stripes, I think I want something a little bigger. Can anyone post pics of their 10" or 12" stripes for a size comparison?

Don't have any pics either sorry. But I'd say 12 too that's what I'll eventually get.

Definitely 12" stripes, I agree the 10" look a little thin.

Some mustangs can pull off the 10" look.....like 05mustangmarkIII I think his look awesome. But for the most part, the 12'' ones are alot better looking overall. I mean get what you want and all.............but go with the 12's lol

This is something I'm considering at the moment.... I think my final decision is to go with the 12s!

Now I'm just trying to figure out whether or not I can buy a 12 inch with the pin striping - no one seems to have it as an option.....

Actually think I've changed my mind and will be going for one wide stripe:

Default stripes,

I went with 10" w/pin stripes. Haven't done the pinstriping yet. Trying to decide if I want to. Got mine from decalshoppe.com. Spent 4 weekends doing it SLOWLY. But it turned out very well I think. The instructions from decalshoppe were very well written and a huge help. Picked some warm-ish days, did the wet method. The stripes I bought were made for a 2 inch space. 12's would look good too although I prefer the side by side over a single down the middle. Although they all look good on a great looking car.
