usually not a fan of stripes on our cars, but the black looks pretty good. Just make sure you keep the stripes close together and not like the one with the blue.

I'm liking the blue. What ever choice you go with, make sure you get your windows tinted. It'll look 10000000000000 times better.

i love your svo hood. havent seen one in a while since so many new aftermarket types are out. i always liked the svo hood.


ofcourse the windows will be tinted.
i am not sure what type of rims would be good. i was thinking white saleens.
then again sime nice silver 2000 cobra r rims would look sweet. i guess it will depend on the stripe color i go with too

i think im going with red if i get the car.
it will compliment the taillight lenses and i like the bold flashyness of the red.

I had black stripes on mine. The didn't touch either bumper. They looked sexy from the rear, but really awkward in teh front. I considered having them redone when I had my car repainted and I'm glad I didn't. A basic white is a lot more "classy" looking in my opinion. Stripes can look good, but they just don't work to well with our cars IMHO.

Those are vinyl stripes & 10" wide...the guy did a fantastic job! No one else would even attempt the rear area! Looks like paint 'til you feel them...After the new engine goes in then I will do a complete paint job & have them painted on at that time. I am very happy with them for now.

JMO but I think stripes if well done look VERY good with our curvaceous body lines! (Plus a few judges so far..hehe)

Red stripes, w/ red big brakes would look great... That's what i'd do.
