Got my stripes done today
I went with the 3M 10 inch full length in Gloss white. I'm very happy with the finished product. After asking around here on the boards and calling around a few places I think the price I paid was very reasonable. They charged me $400. These are some iPhone shots for now. I will shoot some more with my Nikon in a few days.

For about a year I thought about doing stripes. At first I was leaning towards silver, then matte black. Then for a while I was thinking metallic dark ruby red. And then I remembered that first Sterling Gray I ever saw at a car show in my town was a SG GT500 with white stripes. You can google around and see for yourself. Its the contrast of the two colors that I love. Don't get me wrong, The black stripes are stealthy and cool. But SG is a dark color and in some cases I felt you couldn't even see the stripes in low light. I am very happy with my choice. Now I just need to order the double stripe for the rocker panel.

I took a few shots today after I had her detailed. I probably should have waited to shoot these at 8pm when the sun is parallel with the car. Also known as the golden hour. But anyway I just wanted to get these shots before it rains.
And I know i have to still peal the factory stripe off the side. Maybe when the weather cools down.
Enjoy folks.

I like that you went all the way down to the bottom in the front. Not a lot of people do that nowadays. I would also like to add that the last shot you posted is my favorite out of all of them.

Thank you Stevedotmil. I always love the full length stripes on the current generation GT500 mustangs. My biggest dilemma what choosing the color. I almost went with gloss black or red. Very happy that I went with the gloss white.
I also love that last shot in black and white. I used an infared filter in photoshop to give it the dramatic effect. Glad you liked it.
