Need opinions about side stripes please

[bweber]

Should I remove the white pinstripes or keep them on?

The rest of the car has the black stripes outlined with the white pinstripes. Thanks!

I definitely prefer without. I think less is more in this case, the white is a bit too bright.

In the pictures above, there is red, black, silver and white. While the red and the black are working well together, the other colors are not.

Option 1:

- Red car
- Dark tint
- Black rims
- Black badging
- Black-only stripes

Option 2:

- Red car
- No tint, or "lite" tint*
- Existing rims
- Existing badging
- White-only stripes

In most well-seen designs, there is one color, a dominant or primary color, with a complimenting secondary color. Adding more colors still, I don't have a term for it, but visually it becomes busy. Colors or styles begin competing.

As you're trying out different things, you can go to an arts and crafts store or section within a shop, buy paper, tape or other items of different colors. It will allow you to try out hues in the driveway and under different lighting to see what works best for you.

* The use of ceramic tint will allow for a lite shade (pun) or clear tint while preventing virtually all UV rays from entering the cabin

Option 2:

IMO without for sure... Then get those wheels dipped red or black and

Seriously though, car looks great, gotta do what you think looks best

The first one looks best to me. The white outline stands out too much.

The white outline ties the wheels and brembos to the car while without they stand alone.

I like the subtle approach. The car stands out without drawing attention. To many colors will be distracting. Car looks fab.

I always liked the stripping on the late 60s Shelby's

Black only.

I can’t even read the mustang with the white pinstripe if I didn’t already know what it was. Very busy and the white overpowers the whole graphic. If you replaced the entire graphic with just white, that would look good as well.

White only. Black doesn't stand out as much on red.

Thanks for your response. I like option 1. I hate the rims. This was a dealership ordered car. I would have ordered red with the night pony package for sure
