Looking to put racing stripes

Hey guys I have an 06 red gto and wanted to spice it up a little with racing stripes like the mustangs. I was curious on any pictures or any suggestions where to get them and price be helpful.

What do you guys think of racing stripes on our cars and which one you think looks the best and not soo ricey or too agressive. I just like how the new mustangs gt just fit with the cars.

If there done tastefully they look pretty cool. What color stripes were you considering? I'd say go with either black, grey or white. Shouldn't cost more than a couple hundred bucks to get done. You might wanna consider getting the stripes done in vinyls instead of painted on in case you get tired of them or wanna change them.

Hi, joey,

I've thought about stripes on my 05 CGM. Here is a site that has them:

Consider painted stripes. Vinyl stripes need special care. You cannot wax them. Chemical reaction to the ingredient in waxes and vinyl can break down the vinyl over time. Others have reported black spots forming on them over a period of time as a result of improper care. Some have taken them off because of the care issue.
If you go the peel and stick method, get the best you can find.

Thanks for the feedback guys..I have a red spice car so I was thinking white with red?

Painted sounds great but incase I wanted it to come off for whatever reason then it be tough. They should make our cars come with stripes like the mustangs
