Default New stripes

I've been thinking about going to the Berger SS style stripes on my car in white like this car. What do you guys think? Keep the manta or do the Bergers?

If it were my car, I would go with the berger stripes. You see alot more mantas than you do berger stripes. And if you get them in vinyl and don't like them, you can just take them bitches right off again.

I think they both look good. Go for the Berger just for something different.

As stated earlier try in with vinyl. If you don't like it you can do the manta again. But either way it will look good on your car. I like how your car looks now.

I like the berger, but the manta just looks sick, esp. if you continue the stripe out to the back.

Can't lose either way. If you are looking for a change, I would definitely go for it!

Manta. If I ever own a SS I am going with those. They just make the SS look mean.

You WILL get more attention with the stripes when in public then you're getting with the manta, trust me....
