My previous one had the black painted-on Manta and looked nice, but if I had white interior I'd have done this scheme instead:



But, here is my previous hugger SS:

sorry wrong advise arlier, i would

paint every thing thats black, hugger orange

remove tint, if tint is a must go 15% or 20%

white manta and custom dick harrell stripes

if you have white interioir, show that s#!t off!!! I know you probably love privacy of the tint, but that white interior is to sweet to be hidden. And when you have white interior you have to bring the white throughout the car

I also think you should paint the roof and mirrors orange, and than go with the white Berger type stripes.

with the black roof/mirrors might be good to keep with that theme, but I think the HO and white go good together as well.

here is my HOSS with white leather.


and some more if you care on my webshots page

they are decals. the factory ones(problaby more dealer) were pealing and chipped up when i bought the car so i replaced them with ones from 3rdgendecals.com. they didn't match up perfectly but I like these better....they are wider and longer. that big pic is the day i replaced them. in the webshots page you can see some before, during when no stripes and after the new ones. white problaby goes better on mine cuz the white top and white leather. not sure how it would work with his black roof.
