Pulling the trigger tomorrow after getting some input from you guys.

My friend Rob showed me a website where he got his, so i'm going to order from there. I also hope he will have time to help me put them on.

Decided to get some stripes for my stang.

I have a small square pattern of scratches from some ******* at a carwash that hit my car and I didn't notice till I was gone for a couple hours. (a month ago)... and was going to cover up the majority of it with these stripes and then just paint pen the part that sticks out.

It can't be buffed out, I already checked with some buffing experts.



Color of car is Vista Blue
Rim color is Black (gloss finish) w/ machined lip (bullets)

In keeping with some sort of color coordination and future rear window anodized louver... black is in order.

Gloss black to match the rims but will it overpower the vista blue and look out of place.....???

Matte finish, more low key, still black but not as shiny as rims....

??

I will order these tomorrow after I ensure that I stil have a job after chewing out the parking ****'s in my building.

i'll say go with the gloss black.

hey jake, let me know when your going to install them

 

will do.


It was your car with the bullets that convinced me to get my dd black bullet rims.

 

Gloss black.

I got mine from BSM, along with the pin stripes and the side stripes. Its good quality. Have fun with the front and rear bumpers...... lol.

 

I would say matte black.
It makes it look more rough.
mustangs look sweet with stripes

 

I went with the Gloss Black stripes, 12" wide.

 

Good Choice!

 

thanks man,

well i cant wait to see this stripe combo

 

Me too...

a photoshop job of a blue one with white stripes wasnt too inspiring...

hope it looks good when it's done.

 

Gloss black

 

Glossy, no question

 

I agree, good choice.

I have some tips in my 'How-To' section on installing the vinyl stripes. To be honest, of all the mods I've done, the stripes took the longest, around 10 hours spread over 2 days. Key is to not rush it and take your time.

 

wow... 10 hours....

i thought it was a 10 minute job... hahahahhahah j/k

i'll check your tips. I have a buddy that did his and turned out good.

I dont mind taking my time, hell i have other installs still in work on the stang now.

I wonder what the car will look like with the stripes and the louvers?

and some tint on the windows....

 

Could you have really made a wrong decision? Gloss black looks sick. And even in Matte black it looks sick like the Cervinis cars with the splitters shown. Post pics after install.

I went with paint because I couldn't seem to find black stripes shinny enough for me.

 

How much was the paint job on the stripes?

I've heard high quotes from people that wanted them painted on...

 

Looked around for quite awhile before I found someone that was in my ballpark. I paid $1500 and the job isn't perfect! Most places wanted between $2700 to 3000 to do it. It depends on where you live and how much overhead the shop has. I had a small town shop do mine but he said he would never do it again for $1500.

 

Your car still looks classy though Rich.......

 

1500-3000

hmmmmmm i'll stick with vinyl

if i screw it up 3-4 times it's still cheaper...

hahahaha

 

I'm thinking of going with baltimorestreetmods as well. Will then sell single peices if you screw one up?
