look ok. Your car, you decide. However, my advice is to stay away from top stripes. Those 2 side stripes between the hood and wheel are pretty cool though, and rocker panel aren't too bad.























And of course who could forget the most ballin stripes of all

If you like stripes then go ahead and get some on your car. My vote is no stripes. Like others have said it isn't a Mustang. I think the cleaner, non-stripe look is better for sure.

Vichtz, the red z, was what I was talking about. My thot was below the door,lower valance, and flare at the end. Flaring to a wider section, at the end, in front of the rear wheel. "Z" in the wider section. Not so noticable. PG W/ smoky grey stripes. Thanks for the reply.

I think stripes were created because everyone had the same car and they needed a way to stand out or be different than every other (insert common car name here).

If you own a Z, you stand out.
If you stripe it, you become just another (insert common car name here) owner.
