Racing stripe questions
Should be meeting up with the graphics guy soon about putting some stripes over my car. I just wanted to see if some of you could post up some pics of yours so I can decide how I want mine, and show him a pic of something like what I want. Also, let me know how wide your stripes are, and how far spaced apart they are. Im kinda leaning towards two plain white stripes closer together. B/c I want one of those grilles that has the fog lights close together like the old gt350 fastbacks. Just let me know your specs. Thanks, Jared

I was hoping someone would post this question. I have an all white GT and I was looking for some ideas for striping it. I don't really like the standard stripe kit that can be bought. I want something different.
I hope we some more posts of pictures here. Thanks for starting this Jared.

HeavyGT used to have a really nice set of stripes on his. I would PM him and ask for some pics.

Edit:

I found a pic on and older thread

Looks good, I like the grey stripes on black. I would love to get stripes, but I have a glass roof. I dont think it would look right on just the hood and trunk.

if you're going to add a 'Eleanor' or a center fog grill you want the 10" stripes spaced 2" apart;

Don't forget the hood pins...seems like most cars with stripes have them....and make sure the pins have those...stringy things.

You may consider just striping the hood

Humbolt I am liking your hood stripes. Is that a kit? Paint or vinyl?

Vinyl.
Designed, cut and installed at a local graphics shop for less than ordering them online.
This is the picture I showed him:

* Graphic Express - 2005-2006-2007-2008 Mustang Wide Hood Dual Stripe Kit

If I recall correctly, he charged my $120 total.

I like that style too, but if you're adding a center fog grill you may want to check out how that will look.
