    nice looking car, and i don't think ive said welcome yet...so :wavey:... im not sure if its the way you did that or what, but im not really diggin' the fat center stripe... and i don't think two racing striped would flow well either... i think grand sport stripes would look best:

              kind of like that. if i did something like this. you think paint is 100% the way to go or possibly a reflective vinyl? thanks for the quick response. Wish i could come close to doing that with photoshop.

                thicker? thinner? two stripes? or is that what you want on the bigger pictures as well?

                  I think i like that one. i definitely like the way it looks. I don't know if thicker could look better. I think I may just have to become a subscriber here. if you think two stripes would look better than that by all means. But I am already pleased with that look.

                    that one looks best IMO... better than a solid stripe

                      i say paint... its a large area... and if you do go vinyl don't go reflective... at night you would look like a giant line driving

                          no fat mustang stripe hmm? I just wonder if I paint it black like this if it would clash with my convertible top. it is pretty clean and not faded but still.

                              I did my poor mans "paint version of those sport stripes and i think i made the curve too big. it immediately reminded me of the cat guy from KISS
