Looks nice... was almost what I was going to go with but that is too Texas Tech for me...Instead its gonna be CGM with Black Stripes. I do like the wider stripes on the bumble bee. Still a sexy car though.

That satin tail panel is frigggin SWEEEEEET!

I'm with Rolnslo...
They are just too narrow.
I've seen this mistake countless times with the early second gens. I also prefer, as you can see on the concept convertible, and Bumblebee, that all the angles are rounded... not just the outside edge.

But to each is own.

Nope.

Retro would have been a wider stripe with rounded corners.
Retro really isn't the word you're looking for.

Looks good, but not for me... Stripes are too thin...
I am sticking with Factory stripes. The fact that they do not go over the rear spoiler (on factory stripes) makes the small section on the trunk blend better...
But as they say, to each his own...

I like the stripes that go all the way down the hood and to the bottom of the front fascia

I'm glad someone put that up before me... I was prepared to take a beating anyway though. IMO, now that I have seen both, I really like the way they did the factory stripe configuration. The reason being... with the fronts going past the "mail-slot", the rears almost have to extend over and down the rear spoiler, and that is where I think it doesn't look as good. There is no thin trunk lid like on the 69, which would give it the "wrap-around" look... maybe with the blade spoiler it would look O.K., but just not my cup of tea.

I like the way they turned out, just not quite what I imagined they would look like...

... where is 70 COPO to chime in on this.

factory design yes but glossy. Whether painted on or sticker. After seeing my IOM on another car I couldn't even think about putting flats on.

earn88hardt · 05-13-2009, 07:26 PM

no thankyou they don't look good

Looks great, definitely better than those decals that will look like poo in a few yrs.
Agree, they start looking like mustang stripes when they are thin and go down the bumpers.
I would like to see how the back would look ending like the old ones.

Not mine...

GrnMchin · 05-13-2009, 07:49 PM

Looks good, just what I had planed to do, but still waiting for mine to be built.
