To stripe or not to stripe
I recently put silver stripes on my 2012 black Stang. I'm 50/50 on if I should take em off or leave them on. I get mixed opinions on them. Maybe you guys can let me know what u think

I'm shocked at what I'm hearing. Keep the stripes. Without them, you just look like another little girl that just got her first car.
Seriously, the stripes look good...

At least for now I would keep them just to see if they grow on you or not. Striping on a Mustang always looks cool IMO. On black, maybe a more subtle color stripe like dark grey or tungsten gray may have been more suitable. Again to each his own. If you can I agree with above post regarding removal of the front plate.

I feel that if you are just looking at the stripes they look good, however they don't seem to mesh well with the wheels. I would look at changing out that grill and eliminating the from plate if at all possible.

Thanks guys for all your opinions. When I ordered ten I thought the stripes were gonna be a lot darker to better match my wheels. I wanna have stripes painted on versus vinyl. I left the stripes on for now. Once I make the decision to keep them ill have them painted on the same color as my wheels. Unfortunately I cant take my plate off, already got pulled over and a work order to have it put on.
