opinions on stripe combos, redfire gt
Guys,
I have a very reputable stripe and graphics guy here in town that will do 10" shelby lemans stripes in gloss black with 1/4" pinstripe for around $350. installed everything.
I love the look of the shelby stripes but I also saw a Gt with the 69 boss style side stripe, smaller hood stripe and then a rear blackout panel that looked very good as well.
what do you guys think? I have attached a couple pics for comparison.

IMO Shellby stripes with pin stripes are for Camaro's.
There are a lot of opinions on the best width, and if you do some homework you will learn that the original Shelby stripes were slightly tapered in width.
I think the stripes look better when they run chin to chin, but some prefer not.
In the end, its really depends what works for you.

I think you should design a more custom stripe for your ride borrowing from Mustang heratige. Everyone with out body style car is going Lemans and to me it is a little Cliche already.
Good luck either directions that you go.

On the front I will add a GT-500 front fascia with a red flaming tribar pony on the grille (again the red is unique).
I will then add some grey 20" Foose Nitros wheels.
It will look real cool at Jenros when I park next to you. LeMan stripes aren't sounding too bad now huh?
It was good to see you and your brother out there today.

well heres mine, One suggestion I will give you, save the money and have them painted. I love mine it definitely changes the look of the car, but I should have spend the extra money and had it painted. It's only about 1200 near me to have them painted. I paid about 600 I think for mine. Good luck Heres mine with satin silver 10" with 2" gap I believe.
