Stripes? I am thinking of it...opinions

If you have Satin Silver, Tungsten, Alloy, or White stripes look best. Painted are the best looking stripes. Tungsten or Alloy would be my choice. If you want vinyl, Baltimore Street Mods is the place to go.
That would be very close to Alloy. Should look really good. You can do it yourself. Just take your time and have a helper.

Stripes usually look good. You can't beat painted stripes though. They look 100 times better. Are you selling your car though? Or is that your 2001 that is for sale? If you are selling the 07 though, I wouldn't do the stripes.
I got some stripes from Baltimore. Love them, except it took me 3 times to get it perfect...wanted to avoid the $800 from a shop, but I paid about $400 due to mistakes. They aren't hard if you have patience though. That, a garage, hair dryer for the bumper install. Couldn't do it without...I liked putting them on though since I feel I could due it on any car in the future. I get more looks and comments with the stripes than any other time.

I went with wide hood stripes, vinyl.
I was going to order them and have them installed, but the local graphics shop quoted me a better price to have him cut them himself and install.
Cheaper than ordering them.

Everyone has the double stripes so that's why I went with something different.

Just for reference I taped my 9" wide stripes off myself using lots of fineline 3M tape. yea it was a big PITA but i got it done in 6-7 hours lol.

Come on dude stay focused on the topic....leave the guy alone.
I do like the one single stripe, I thought about doing that but I wasn't sure it would look good in the color I want. I have the CDC aggressive front spoiler and the Xenon duck tail rear spoiler. So I am excited about hos the stripes will make my car look.

mine works really well and can take a fair amount
I did my own install. Definitely take your time and with the larger sections, an extra pair of hands will help. I second the idea of using tape to help lay it out/line it up. I used tape to hold mine up as I was doing the job solo.
I would like to have some more stripes on mine, but I just haven't found the look I'm happy with. The duals are way overdone and those who have the wide single looks great and those who have the different side stripes(BOSS/MACH) and hood graphics like Humboldt have look good. My problem is the Vista color and want something not seen often.
WAY:OT: , but won't yours out handle and out run a stock Shelby
