Stripes or no stripes?

honestly probably not either, one it would look like halloween colors, two with that hood it would be more work to get those stripes on there between the cutting and application than i may be worth...only thing i could see as far as vinyl on there however is maybe those small stickers that say "mustang gt' or '4.6 gt' you know basically those real tiny stickers...i could see those on both sides of the larger scoop if anything, but pin stripes and all that nah...but when it comes down to it if you like it then go for it, you can always take it off if you dont like the way it looks after

not with that hood...

the single black out stripe from the scoop forward would look good.

BigJnSA · 03-10-2008, 07:51 AM

that hood is already wayyyyyy to busy to add stripes.

++1 that's how my hood is set-up on my white stang - got that decal with a black hood scoop - i say no stripes

I probably would've gotten a different hood all together, but I have looked at that one. Definitely no on the big stripes. Some small pinstripe accents might work if done right, but I doubt it would be easy. Best bet if you have to put something would probably be decals on the side of the scoop, maybe the blackout on the scoop and in front of it, just leave it the way it is.

EDIT: Ask someone to do a photoshop for you in that section on here... forget what it's called...

then only do vinyl accents then, you may still push out maybe $100 depending on who does it for you, but its less than having to repaint something

i think stripeless is better

alright guys..i keep saying yes i want them no i dont yes i want them no i dont..but any other appearance mods? mach 1 chin spoiler?

ImpactStang · 03-11-2008, 10:33 PM

chin spoiler would help, but honestly when you get a hood like that , its usually supposed to be accompanied by some sort of body kit, so if i had that hood thats what i would do, along with rims of course cuz you cant have a kit and no rims...

Yeah, what he said. Maybe lower it, unless you're against that. Cobra front bumper?? Aftermarket headlights??? There are a lot of options for that visual pop you're looking for. Just take your time and make sure it's something that you really want.
