Hey guys,

I need a little help. I'm getting a white GT and want to put blue stripes across it. What size stripes should I go with (Size and spacing)and what color blue? Does anyone else have any pics I can take a peek at to get some ideas?

Thanks

Yup, and installing them yourself isn't as bad as it seems either

Another option is to go to a shop and have custom vinyl stripes made. Check out post#60 of this thread for the sizing used. Peter1966's car has awesome stripes.

Baltimore Street Mods has 3 Blue selections, they do have a color chart, for the white, I'd go with Navy! It would look like the Ford Racing FR500 Car and it would look hot!!

I would recomend 10.5" wide with a 1.5" gap. Those look the best, IMO. Not too wide, not too narrow. Just right.
The tapered Shelby style stripes don't work well with all the curves on a new Mustang so I would stay with the same size front to back.

Check out these two threads for tons of info & pics on stripes.
