To stripe or not to stripe ..... I bought a set of white 35th Anniversary stripes to add to my black 2001 SS, but now I'm sure that I want to go this route.
Anyone have any opinions they'd like to share or pics of the same setup they could post?
FYI, The car is black with black anodized FM5's and no SS badges on it anywhere.
Thanks for your thoughts/opinions and pics!

Re: To stripe or not to stripe ..... I thought about that, but the suspension parts, pillar/dash guages and shift **** are all white so I was trying to stay consistent.
So it's pretty much white or nothing!
And that's the dilemma.

Re: To stripe or not to stripe ..... I just saw a black TA on ebay with the black and white stripes, i didnty really like it much, silver would definately go a little better with the black:
heres a link to that TA

The silver really would look the best. There'd be nothing wrong with not having white stripes on your car.

Re: To stripe or not to stripe ..... I don't know if you have this link but shows some good pics of 35th stripes
I like the sparkly silver ones
35th stripes
When you do put them on make sure you don't get them to close together on lower front of the car
that looks kinda cheesy!!!!!

Re: To stripe or not to stripe ..... Go with the berger style stripes! I painted mine which i think is the best route but I know the stickers are easier on the wallet. Here are some pics no the less ...

Re: To stripe or not to stripe ..... Hmm, on a black car, flat black stripes! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> It'll look super mean. But hey I'm into the old musclecars with the hood black outs on the black cars, like this one pic I saw of a black 69 hemi road runner with hood black out, oooooooo. Makes me weak in the knees. Just my opinion though.
Good Luck

I agree with the silver idea.. I think I have a photshopped pic of a black 35th LE (silver stripes).. email me and I will send it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I also dont think silver stripe would mess with your black & white color scheme since silver is a metalic color you can get away with it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
