Default C Stripes on Torch red coupe

Finally got my C stripes installed yesterday. This kit is from Graphics Express.I ended up following the lower trim contour instead of the door contour(recess).Opinions welcome.
Now I just have to mount thiose rear window louvers.

Looks pretty good, fairly subtle. The stripe on the tail end of the car looks off, looks high. Maybe it's the shot but it does not seem to line up with the stripe on the bottom of the door.

I've always liked the Boss 302 look so you got my vote..looks sharp!
Stripe algienment looks good to me...appears off but thats the way it looks..I say you got it right!
Whos louvers are those...they look good! you do need a chin spoiler to complete the look. Shaker hood???

Sharp looking. That was one of the design options I was going to go for. Good job.

Very nice. Are those the CDC louvers? Those are the ones I have and I really like them.

The louvers are actually Vista brand, I believe they are the same ones sold by MRT & California Mustang.Not sure about the CDC ones. From what I've been able to find out, there is only 1 company actually manufacturing the aluminum ones, & they are remarketed by various vendors.
CDC Classic chin spoiler pic,actually satin black, looks glossy in pic;

gphasagt, that looked a little dark and rich for windveil, so I grabbed the best photo I could find on the Web and added the stripes in black and white. I also changed the stripe on the rear quarter panel to taper it off, sort of matching the design where it tapers at the door handle.

Apologies for the GT badging on a V6 (heresy!) but it was the best picture I could find of a Windveil coupe. And hey, the sheet metal is the same and that's what you're after.

When I was shopping for the GT, one of the things I noticed about windveil is that it REALLY seems to lighten up wherever the sun hits it, and I think this photo does a good job of showing that. For contrast, I think black would be a better bet for you.

aircare84, those look pretty sharp on the red. And it's good to see a variety of striping out there.

Uh oh. About 20% of my posts have been about stripes, I drive on 17s, and I Photoshopped a GT badge onto a V6. If I hurry up and post about gear ratios and 1/4 mile times, can I stay in the GT forums, or is it already too late?

*grins good-naturedly, but gets ready to duck*

Thanks for all the nice comments & the color mods!
I also am not too wild about how the rear stripes round off, might have to mod them, but will wait til spring for now.
