Hey guys,

What would your thoughts be on racing stripe for my car, which has the glass top. I LOVE the look of the white stripes on red vehicles. Make it look very sharp.

With the glass roof being black, I dont think the white would be appropriate. Then I have had thoughts of Black stripes on a red car...first thing that comes to mind is dull and boring.

What are your thoughts on stripes for this situation?

Like i said in ur prev thread.. It depends on what color rims you decide to get...
If you get the Black rims FOR SURE the the BLACK stripes...
Itll really set the car off....

Also good color choices for stripes would be matte black or Alloy.

hit up Mike (MRaburn). The stripes on the glass roof can be done properly, but there is a procedure to be followed. He had that done to the StangNet GT500.

I've got the same thing going on...thinking about stripes of some kind with a torch red and glass roof.I really like the looks of the "boss" striped hood with the "hockey stick" side stripe. I'm sure the fake badging crowd will jump in with the normal criticism,but I love the look and it should look sharp in black on torch red.

Wider stripes are more aggressive looking imo.
