Would like your opinion on adding "non-racing" stripes to rapid red mustang

[mustangrapidred21]

Your car, your choice I don't understand why folks. Need others' approval to do anything.
I would never take a picture of a Mustang with a toyota sign behind it.

LMAO Live FREE or die ..

Not looking for approval...just opinions. Thanks for yours (opinion). Unfortunately, that's the best photo I could find of a rapid red w/white stripes. Yea, I know it's not an ecoboost either but again, it's as close as I could find. Have a good day

OP, I'm a very analytical person myself, so gathering the opinions of others while I try to determine my own is something I do regularly. Don't let those that are being overly critical of your process get to you. I understand your process, because it's very much mine as well.

On to the stripes debate. I've never been fond of racing stripes on GTs/EBs. On either Shelby, though, heck yes. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but I think the front bumpers of the GT350 and GT500 really make stripes work (although a Shelby without stripes is a subtle flex imo). And on non-Shelby Mustangs, I tend to think stripes clash with the angles; at least that's my guess as to why I don't really like it. That said, I'm the type that would go with a black roof or unpainted carbon fiber hood instead if I were going to change up the appearance in that way on a brighter color.

It's your car, do as you please. You're not harming anyone, and you only live once. Plus, the EB shares the same design lines as GTs, Shelbys and M1s.

Thanks for the reply and support...I agree with all mustangs having the same basic design lines.

In a world of millions of Mustangs, you need to do something to make it your own. Torched 10 beat me to it; try silver. Although white is extremely sharp too.

Thanks for taking the time to give me your opinion. Extremely nice ride you have there

OP, I get it.

Asking for opinions is not asking for approval IMO but in a convoluted way it’s a little like asking for permission to consider something you aren’t 100% sure about. Fine line difference maybe but a difference nonetheless. I do it myself when I’m on the fence about something.

One more thing. If you spend time here you’ll recognize that there exist posters whose sole mission it is to argue and be a contrarian, way beyond just a normal difference of opinion. Learn to recognize them and don’t bother engaging.

Rapid Red with white stripes is my favorite color combo so I'd say go for it!

these kinds of comments are just as bad as someone asking for vague opinions.

the guy wants stripes and is on the fence for the color: white or black.

i think he's wrong and should go silver. that'd look dope.

Didn't stripes have a meaning back in the olden days of road racing when countries had specific paint colors to use?

I could be wrong, but I thought it was for differentiating different cars during a race.

I RAN racing stripes on my very first race car i built in my parents backyard in 1960
i painted the car using a vacuum cleaner and painted the stripes (similar to PETER BROCKS below in pic) We put them on to make it go faster

That's if they're "racing stripes." I am talking about "non-racing stripes." LOL
