Bob and Neil,
If I had a dollar for everytime I needed to be forgiven - I could pay cash for "PFslim's" car AND build a barn for it free & clear!
You guys will always be the best

I really like the black hood stripes with the red side stripes. All red stripes just don't look right.

Hood Stripes
Definitely go with the black stripes. I have an 2007 GT/CS in Performance White with the black stripes and it looks great!!!!

How about someone start a poll? I vote for red hood stripes to go with the red side stripes. The GT wheels with the red in the middle would look good too.

I've missed out on the fun here...exasperations and all....LOL!
My vote is for the black hood stripes, because the red hood stripes (sorry) makes it look like a circus wagon! When you go out of the "norm" of non-stock with any kind of paint, your car immediately screams: "custom". For a GT/CS, it's already a custom Mustang.
I think that the white Mach with red stripes that Jon found on EBAY is the best example of the color combo.
There is something to be said for originality at this time of these cars' lives. In the 1970's you could pull this stuff off (along with spring shackles, big tires in the rear, and gross exhaust tips), but not now. We all are representing a historical vehicle now, and although I promote "do what you like", there is something to be said for homage to original designs of older cars.
What would you think if you saw a 1955 T-Bird in metal gold metalflake and 22" chrome wheels?
Just my two bits.

(Neil and Bob outta line? NEVER!!)

Paul,
Why are you dissing my T-Bird?? Besides, it' a '57.
Neil:grin:

...Right you are Cory. Both combos can grow on you and compliment the car well. I can see now where it would be a tough decision.
'Haven't heard from Robb here in a few days - 'Hope he's not sorry he posed the question. 'Just goes to illustrate we're all passionate about these things, but no matter who thinks what - it's ultimately his decision. Either combo would be great!
