Ok, so originally I wanted deep blue ralleys down the middle but the kit I got was cheap and I threw it out. Second choice was black and I picked up the 8'' kit of AM.
(11'' looks too fat on the SN95 body)

What do you all think looks better, twin ralleys down the middle, or offset?

Personally I like the offset because noone anywhere around me has the offset stripes and its more original, but on the other hand many people are complaining it looks rice (even though they are 8'' stripes not one skinny little one).

Also, I have a non functional hood scoop I have from a past car ready to be painted, would the car look better with stripes with the scoop or without?

(Scratches on the front bumper will be fixed, an evil lady in the grocery parking lot took a cart to my car...)

Thanks!

No to the stripes
Ditch the black wheels, or at least paint them
Move the spoiler back
Add the hood scoop


That would be my plan.

remove the wing,
and drive to a area that has lots of imports. and donate it, you don't need it

remove all the badges, fill & paint the holes.

tint head lights/tales, add mach1 grill delete. car would look so sick then,

but that's just what i would do. i pretty much tell everyone. to tint lights. and remove wing
as far as stripes go. i'd say NO, 99-04 mustangs are drop dead sexy when given that clean look, however some bad ass free hand work would look nice.

Personally I've never really thought stripes looked right on a New Edge, at least with the stock hoods. Something about the lines on the hoods just "interrupting" the flow of how stripes should be. Maybe if it had a flat cowled hood or something...

I vote no to stripes as well - I've rarely seen them look good on anything after '73 until the retro's came back. And I love the suggestions for blackouts and losing the spoiler, the contrast is nice and gives it a real clean look. I'm partial to the rims myself. Add a hood scope, grill delete kit and you're good to go.

It seems that most people don't like stripes on our bodystyle. To be honest, I didn't like the way mine looked either when I first bought it (they were on there when I bought it), but now I like it. I say, if you want to put them on then go for it. If they are vinyls, you can always take them off if you don't like it. Here's mine, they are 5" btw...

I was about to reply that stripes look stupid on this year Mustang... but then Iseen the yellow one and they look good in that size.... I would do it just like that one, but maybe in a dark gray or navy blue
