Im thinkin about addin some vinyl stripes. im not rly sure what style of stripes i like best, i have seen all the styles but its hard to pick one hehe... what kinda stripes would u guys recommend?
the color i would use would be CGM or dark charcoal metallic since they look so similar (cuz my "black outs" are dark charcoal metallic).
or should i stay stripeless?

Though Caspers are painted on the general look would be the same..............I'd have semi-gloss carbon fiber ones insalled on your color car ......Nose to Tail!

There are a few around these parts who believe nose to tail stripes are for Ford's only...........its a misconception. Casper gets compliments every where he shows up...anywho's............ The folks at the Chevy dealership (including the folks checking out the Gen5 inventory) here absolutely flip out/get all googley eyed over him everytime we stop by for a look around..............( and it isn't the orginal location Casper was purchased, fact is I've never spent a dime there). On a final note............the pic with my grandson and his hand and facial expressions....................tell the rest of the story regarding nose to tail stripes.

I'm more of a "the less, the more" sort of guy. I like subtle hood spears and the trunk blackout.

Tenman820 · 10-05-2011, 09:59 AM

I was going to say I'm a nose to tail kinda guy but that just didn't sound right. My thoughts are there are so many that are not nose to tail its nice to be a bit different. Either would look good with that color scheme. I do also dig the hockey stick and the one where just the front fender/bumper outline is done.

Good luck with your choice and post some pics when complete.

its perfectly ok. lmao

whamslam3 · 10-05-2011, 10:18 AM

which do u guys like better, the factory rally stripes or the factory single hood stripe with the hockey sticks?

skinman · 10-05-2011, 10:21 AM

I say get the stripes. I've got vinyl on mine. The guy that installed them said if your car stays in the sun, the stripes will eventually start to fade after 5 or 6 years. I told the guy that I keep my car under a shed. He said I shouldn't have any problems then. Good luck!

Nose to tail is too mustangish for me, but to each his/her own.

CaryE1 · 10-05-2011, 01:09 PM

I like the nose to tail look, and I second the thought of the semi-gloss carbon fiber stripes. That contrast would look great on your IOM, and you would be one of the few that have them installed (until others see how cool they look then there would be a lot of others imitating...).

I Like the hood and hockey stripes, looks mean.
