What color stripes?

[2007GTCS]

I know it's not the best photoshop job in the world, but if you had the choice of colors, which would you pick? I've got a parchment (tan)/black interior if that helps.

I think the blue looks so much better.

I have pondered putting some stripes on mine....silver most likely.

Next question....would you go with decals (roughly $300) or Paint ($2000+)?

 

[07GT/CS]

Blue all the way.

 

[2007GTCS]

I'm definitely going with the decals. That way I can go back to original with just a decal change. The only modifications I'm going to make on this car are ones that can be reversed without too much trouble. Probably the biggest thing I'm planning as far as labor is concerned is swapping the ring and pinion. I might do some suspension mods down the line...as for the engine, I'm probably going to go for the FRPP power pack...unless I find 6 grand lying on the side of the road...then I'm getting a Roush supercharger! :grin:

Bump! I know there's more than 13 of you out there!

Tough call! I think the blue stripes look better on the white but think the silver or grey stripes would look better with your interior and the top down, so I went with the silver.

I think if I went with the blue, I'd have to go with a darker blue vice the guardsman-ish blue that I've got on the picture above. I just think a darker blue would go with the tan interior better...

and I like the silver as well...it looks really good on the Shelby GTs...decisions decisions...

Whatever color you go with, you need to get the width of the stripe and spacing between the stripe right or they can look pretty bad. A common mistake seems to be putting the stripes too close together and from a distance it can look like one big stripe (not two).

The sticker idea is a good one, but they don't wrap around compound curves very well. Look at a new Shelby with the sticker stripes on it and you'll see how they had to piece them together to get them to look right. Just something to consider.

Here's my 2006 GT.

Very nice...from what I've found, it looks like 10" stripe with a 2" gap is the way to go. Is that what you've got?

I agree with Steve and Scott: 1) I like the silver/grey, but blue can also look nice depending on which blue is picked (like you said), and 2) the spacing/sizing is very important and can make or break how good the stripes will look ... copy the Shelby stripes (I think you can purchase them from Ford) and you'll have a good set of stripes ...

My stripes are 9.25-inches wide and 1.75-inches between them. However, 10-inches wide with 2-inch separation might look just as good if not better.

Scott, you've got to post pics of your cars in the gallery. I'd like to see those KRs that you've got.

 

[GTCSMustang]

Yea, I need to figure out that gallery thing. I think I posted some pictures of some of the cars once. Maybe this summer I'll get them all out and take some good pictures. Here is the Yellow KR. Has about 7,000-miles on it.
