To Stripe or not to stripe

Guys... I need your opinions whether to put a black stripe on it or not.. I would have put white but the CS only makes the sticker tape black.. Tell me what you think... and of the car in general I think Ford did a great job with the 5.0

Nope... you can have too much of a good thing. It would look silly as soon as it hit the trunk blackout.

I would say no as well, if you're really can't help yourself and are feelin to get something, get the hood spears. But for a full stripe package- no matter which type, I think would be too much.

no stripe imo

there are already many add-ons on that car

and don't you think it would take away from the CS look that you got the car for in the beginning?

the hood spear graphics to me make the big plastic bulge they call a hood scoop look even bigger

I don't like the body mods on the CS, but I'd love to have the wheels. I also vote no stripe for a CS- it'll be way too busy. Personally, I ordered the hood and side stripes on my GT Premium, but think the over the top stripes are ugly.

Just enjoy the car like it is. If you eventually get to where you REALLY want to try it with stripes, get them done as decals, like Ford does, that way if you really don't like it you can have a shop take them off.

My favorite GT500's are Stripe Delete..... Does that tell you anything?

To bad you chose such an ugly color (Ducking and running)!

It's already butchered enough with the scoops, don't ruin it anymore.

No to the stripes. I even did the 'stripe delete' on my V-6.

No additional stripes needed on a GT/CS.

I think the glass roof pretty much says no stripe.

I plan on getting the LeMans stripes over the top of my 5.0. Always wanted them and I hope to have them soon.

Man, I like scoops, stripes, and all that kind of crap.....but I gotta say...this might be the best looking Mustang I've ever seen. You got me rethinking my preferences.

I like the hood spears, if you're set on adding something. They hide the line of the scoop being mounted to the hood, almost making it look like it's not bolted on, but part of the hood.
