Thinking about adding stripes, but if I do, I'm thinking of going two-tone - black in the middle, with white or silver accent stripes on the outside. I chopped something together using the stripe painter.

What do you think?

Don't like it. Too busy. For some reason (no idea why) it reminds me of a sneaker.

Drive that car in Georgia and everyone will think you play for the Falcons (old helmet). I suppose this look (three colors) could be done with other colors for favorite NFL teams. Say Cowboys: white with blue and silver stripes, or Raiders: silver with black and white stipes.

Same here. Try using thinner accent lines, maybe it won't be as pronounced (busy) looking? Doesn't look bad IMO.

I think it would look good if you made the accent color lines thinner and maybe silver or grey.

Not sure if I like pinstripes, especially not big ones like in the original pic. If you go that route, I wouldn't get the rocker stripes... like everyone says, it's just too busy. A single wide stripe might look good with smaller pinstripes and with the CDC shaker hood scoop. Red car, black wide stripe w/ black shaker and some small grey (if you have painted wheels), silver or white (if you have chrome or polished wheels) pin stripes would look good.

[SIZE=7]I'm going to be recieving my sonic blue gt soon .... I like the concepts being thought up on here. I'm not that good at photoshopping, but I have a idea that some may like....... I love the twin fat stripes, the only way I would get them is i had accent stripes on the sides of them. but instead of have a different color trim than the stripes, i'm thinking of put sonic blue with either less or more metal flake in the paint. that-a-way it'll only show at certain angles.....but this is just my oppinion.
