I vote red with red seats white with anything else. Not a big fan of metalics like Silvers on flat cars. I would like Silver on a TG or a MG and visa versa but not on a black. Just MO of course.

Welcome to TMS, Jesse!
First of all, you might want to read the FAQ sticky and find out what to do before posting a new topic: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=2172
Second, the "search" function on this site is very helpful. Use it everytime, you'll most likely find the answers to your questions.
I did a very similar poll a while back. you can find the results and the members' opinions here: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index....opic=26439&hl=

First, ill just tell you that I am a huge fan of the white stripes on the black...
But the REAL reason for my post is to BEG AND PLEAD with you.....
PLEASE WHATEVER COLOR YOU CHOOSE....DONT STOP YOUR STRIPES AT THE HOOD AND TRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Around my town, all i see are V6's....half of them have racing stripes that do not extend down the front and rear bumpers... I gag and almost vomit everytime i see it. for the money spent, it makes the car look so much worse than before it even had stripes.
Please, pretty please, with sugar on top and whipped cream and a cherry....exptend your stripes down the darn bumpers.

I'm not sure I would say the mere lack of a stripe down a front bumper on a sharp Mustang would make me "gag and vomit".
Besides personal preference, the shops I went to with my car didn't think they could get the stripe on with no wrinkles due to the contours of the bumper. They also said if I put the bra on and off very often the vinyl on the bra would scuff.
For now I opted to leave them off. I may change my mind later or I may have them painted on, but in the meantime nobody that I am aware of has gagged or vomited when looking at my car.

But as far as color, Silver looks SWEET on Black! Just MHO.

I will say that I prefer stripes that go to the road, but I'm running into the same problem of not being able to find a striper who will do it. I think the silver looks great on the black, but I'd put on a red stripe to match the interior (if it were me). In fact, I have white one, and plan to put on a red stripe for that reason.

Actually stripes all the way down make my gag... but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Mine only cover the top decks and I have not heard a bad word about it. I work at a hospital with over 7000 people and as I am out working people stop me and say - "hey.. your the guy with awesome car".

Here is the only photo I have of the back. I did install them down farther, but did not like it - so I pulled them off. I left just about an inch down the trunk.. just enough so people know they are there. I might add the blackout panel yet.

I like the Gold ones similar to the old hertz colors. I saw the gold on a black gt and it looked real good. So.....none of the above. It would be a tie with the red or silver. No to white unless it was trimmed in red somehow.

I've yet to see anyone "gag and vomit" at this, but you're entitled to your opinion. On the contrary, most people around here who see my car drool at the sight of it.

I think yours is the only option for stripes which don't go all the way down. I say either do the bumpers completely, or don't touch them at all. I've seen many pics of stripes which only cover the top of the front bumper and they look unfinished.
They look like vinyl, are they from Bob White? Did you install them wet or dry?
