When I get my car I plan to get my stripes done. However, I want my car to be unique (that explains my color choice), and not have the same kind of stripes that can be seen on plenty of other stangs here. So I've made an amature attempt at desiging my own stripes and this is what I came up with. My question to you is, will this stripe make the car look ricey? I want it to be unique and yet not over the top. What do you guys think?
P.S. If anyone has seen or had this done before, can you please post pics. Or if one you chop guru's are reading this, I would appreciate it if you could some how chop this design onto a yellow GT. I would like to see what it looks like. Thanks.

Do it in vinal first. Any trim shop can do it. If you dont like it just take them off.... After you live with them a while consider a good paint shop and shoot it with clear...

thanks for the pic hippie. that kinda gives me an idea of what mine might look like. it doesn't look ricey actually.

He didn't say to clear coat the vinyl. He said that after living with the vinyl for a while you can either take it off if you don't like it or take them off, have them painted and then cleared.

thats what i think too. i'll most likely follow that route if I plan to get mine done.
thanks to those who replied/voted so far. if anyone has any other pics, or have other ideas for stripes please post them as well. thanks.
