Looks good! I like it. The orange on white makes it look like a creamsicle, in my opinion, but the over-all effect is very slick. Definitly makes me want to get my matte-black stripes on mine..

Those stripes look great! Somone on Ebay is selling them for the Impala's but I don't like how they come to a point in the front. If someone had some for the Impala more similar to yours I would get a set.

I love the front and back, but I dont like the top. Ford always had racing stripes up on top, where Chevy never did. ( Only 1 corvette did, the blue with a white stripe )

I think some thin orange pinstripes on the front and rear fender lines would really bring the car together.

Not a big fan of stripes on most cars (especially newer models) but those look really good! And I love the color combo! IMO orange stripes only look good on a white car. And I'm glad you did the top, it wouldn't look complete without them on top if you ask me.
