i dont think i would have gone with "ford style" stripes on the roof, but the paint color is definately BADASS.

with that orange...it depends do you want it to boldy stand out or just accent? Maybe a gunmetal metallic I dont know id have to hold the samples up next to each other to tell. Either way its pretty kikazz right now athough I have to agree with a prior post the grey dash has got to go.

I agree with gunmetal metallic. It's dark enough to make the stripes stand out, and it'll match both the silver and even the orange nicely.

Looks pretty good. I'd prefer it if the stripes had a pin stripe around them and if they ended on the top of the bumper. I'm not a fan of painted interiors.

Thanks again everyone for your input. I think Im going to try the gunmetal. I want them painted on so I have to wait until I color sand and buff it out this weekend. Ill keep you posted about the interior and wheels.

I've been waiting for this finished product!! All I can say is god damn that orange is sweet I think it would've looked a little better w/ white stripes but I still like the silver too. Those photoshopped pics w/ the pinstripes next to the mainstripes all look like IMO (I'm sure the finished product would look much better though). I agree that the rims will finish the car off...better be 17's at least. You could always pick up an SS spoiler and paint that which I don't think would be too hard. I don't think you need that and the SS hood. I just think the spoiler makes the rear look 100x better. Also noticed that speedo goes to 125, is that a 6er? If so then like you said, hook up that lsx!

Biggest reason for the silver stripes is thats whats under the tangerine candy, made it alot easier for my first stripe job. Yeah the pics are kinda bad but that guy went outta his way to do that so its cool. (thanks again) Hell yes they will be at aleast 17's and at least 17x10 in the rear at that. God I need that SS spoiler In time. Yep its only a sixer, I may turbo it, Im all for being diferent. Would rather put a LSx motor in my vette

The one thing that i dont care for is the painted front pillar piece. (Outside A-pillar you would call it??...the trim between the roof and side mirrors). Think the car looks sportier with it black. Dont get me wrong though...the car does look nice...good job on it. LOVE THE ORANGE COLOR.
