Gonna put some pastel pinstriping on it too?

Wow, all these posts but only a few tried to actually help out........
I used to have an old 84 5.0 Mustang with some white letters and they looked good. But then again I was raised in the country so that might be why. Haven't seen any on these cars (doubt it will look good) but you got me curious about it.

Nice tires cerberus...same ones I had on my 99 Z34...whoever said that raised white letter tires dont look good on newer cars has not seen them on some of the newer cars because they look good an quite a few cars...I thought my car looked great with them!
By the way...dont speed with those tires...they are speed rated to 98mph...which was fine for my monte...but not for a T/A lol...
I say Raised white letter tires are good for a V6 F-body...for the speed rating and such...but not for a V8

Haha, yeah! Were you on the parkway? I was turning left and I saw a white Camaro going straight. I was trying to get a better look, didn't look stock.
