GT Rocker panel stripe options

Just thought I would share some ideas I've come up with for GT Rocker stripe words. My goal was to have the look of the classic 1966 "G.T 350" look, but I wanted it to be different and make sense.

In case you didn't know the "G.T. 350 S" was a paxton supercharged equipped G.T. 350. 11 were made in 1966.

Right now I'm debating between getting a Shelby GT or a Mustang GT with a Roushcharger. Hence my interest in supercharger related rocker stripes.

Which one is your favorite?

Lose the periods!

The reason I vote "none of the above" is that the periods included on the stripe really look tacky IMHO. Use of the periods might be better grammar but they really busy up the stripes. I like the GT 281 when the periods are removed.

It may be "tacky" but it's Mustang heritage.

What I'm looking for in white, Ford Racing only has black or blue, is the side stripe that says FORD RACING.

How about nothing at all, just a plain stripe? Nice and clean, we already have the gt badge. Thoughts have crossed my mind about taking my gt emblems off and firing up the mig welder and filling the holes.

I think this looks pretty good.

If wanting to go with the GT 300 or GT 281 etc. way want to copy the GT style from the Ford GT for a "modern retro" look.
