New Stripes on 13 GT/CS

I was asked on another thread to post some pics of my new stripes, so here they are in all their glory!

DISCLAIMER: They are bold and not for everybody, but I welcome ALL comments - both good and bad

Those are VERY busy. I think you missed a spot over there.

I like it. Makes car look 'fast'. Also like custom signature. I'm sure others will be copying.

I have to agree - then again, I have never been one to be "understated". I wanted not only a unique design, but color as well.

Nice. Your over the top stripes are sorta like something I was drawing up the night to get a unique stripe as well. Not sure if I'm going to go with it but its an idea. If I did we would be opposite. I'd be green with black :P

I think that would look great as well - I say go for it!

I know it's alot for the "purists", but If I worried about what people thought of me I wouldn't be a car salesman nor would I have so many tattoos.

From a graphic design perspective, as well as originality, I love the look - nice job. Only thing I don't quite dig are the black hash marks in the rocker panel vinyl.

Thanks for the input and I completely get what you are saying on the rocker hash marks. I photoshopped it without them and to me it needed something to break up the "sea of green" on the sides. If anything, I am not 100% sold on the sides PERIOD. I'm giving it a bit of time to see if they grow on me.

I like the color and the overall design. Definitely very original. I feel like the sides are a tad much, and the back might look a bit better if the stipes narrowed the same way as they do on the hood instead of just cutting off over the tail lights.

Yeah, I'm getting the same vibe on the sides that you are. I'm not sure if they will grow on me or not. We actually tried to do that on the back, but there just wasn't enough room to make the angle look right.

And to be perfectly clear, I did not design these even though I have not seen them on any mustang before. They were designed by raceskinz - I do not want to take credit where none is due.

The color is custom, but the pattern is simply "not previously seen".

The hash marks and rocker stripes look terrible imo. The rest of it is ok I guess.

Try to contain your enthusiasm...

I'm trying to like the rocker stripes, but after 3 days now I'm still not in love with them either. They may go bye-bye in the near future.

I don't like the sides at all. IMO there is not one redeeming quality about the sides. However the main stripe and color combination look good. Looks like something that would be seen at SEMA.

I agree, I love the stripes! I hate the sides and hash marks.

Agreed. Hood is good!
