Racing Stripes Opinions

Damaso · August 16th, 2007, 05:03 PM

What do you guys think about racing stripes and side rockers on sn95 stangs? I just put some on mine and I think there awesome, but want second opinions because i dont want my car to look to over the top. It was a pain in the ass to put on though.

I think they're pretty cool. Personally, I love the Mustang (Cobra especially) stock with a Ford wheel. However, I feel the proper size racing stripes and color to accent the car look very "track-like."

I prefer stripes on the 99-04 and 05+, with any form of stripe on the SN95 being one that starts around the hood and goes to the fender / door. Something like that.

That or the ultimate on the SN95 is the Saleen decals in the doors. Perfection.

keiken · August 18th, 2007, 04:20 PM

I really like that yellow on black. Mine are 2 8" silver stripes with side rockers saying Mustang GT. I will post some pics in a couple of days because its been raining for the past couple of days. This kid at my job says I might as well put coffee cans on my stang, and I was in awe.
Since when are stripes on stangs rice? and why would i get coffee cans when I have a $700 exhaust system combined. Hes the one thats rice a b16 swap civic with CAI, and Coffee can, lol

well i just kinda went out on a whim..the style the way it raps on the front i never seen on a mustang before, just kinda thought that might flow nice on it i could be wrong there might be lotsa paint jobs like that but i havent seen any others

There's a yellow 6 cylinder here in Joliet with black stripes just like that. He has the Chicago Bears (bleh) "C" logo in the stripes on the front and spoiler.

i think u should paint around the MUSTANG on the rear bumper instead of keeping it squared, as in just leave the actual letters black

keiken · August 20th, 2007, 08:52 PM

thats what i wanted but was short on time and it was just supposed to be a temp job until i paint it again just to see what the stripes would look like, i like the look of them wide too i think it suits them more then the 6" skinny things but, everyone has there own opinion
