Well mines a 96 so i was thinkin maybe 10" but i wasnt sure cuz a 99 is a whole diff body style but i was thinkin 8" for a while but then i just thought it might look better with 10 cuz my body style is diff than a 99

blue, black, red, even gray or chrome would look its just how u accent it....rims,interrior,headlights,taillights its all gotta be taken into account. i mean i went black stripes on my laser red so with that i did black (cobra) headlights, smoked altezza taillights, red and black interrior, black with chrome lip rims (bullit) you just have to see which way ur going with the look

Well right now i have reflective inserts and at some angles they look red and i have chrome rims 18s and im wanting to get a banner on my windshield that says MUSTANG in red so i think the red would work best but yea not sure abpout the gap

red would be the way to go if ur going to do the side also i believe that would look unique because its not common and everyone wants to personalize a stang... chrome and red go well together in my opinion with some dark tint
