Of course it's making me think about those "ghost" stripes even more since ksmithey photoshopped onto the picture of my car....so thanks a lot....lol. Did you check out what he did to those pictures ? I think it looks very cool....
Yes, and it looks cool.
Just for your info, ghost stripes are just that, only visible at certain angles and light conditions. It is extremely cool, but you need to get a good painter (experienced) to do them correct.

Originally, I was considering similar stripes to yours. Picture a mix between what you have and Foose stripes....basically my hood stripes with the Boss stripe (like yours)....but in the end went with the current design.

Just prooves that Verts can and do look fabulous with (or without) stripes.....everyone else is just jealous that they do not have a vert.
Oh I just love it..........LOL

Verts look good either way, issue is, coupe are sporter looking get up and go fast vehicles, while "to me" verts leisure touring pleasure going nowhere fast. "Soak Up The Sun" type of driving and of course Cheryl Crow song. So adding some stripes to our verts sets them apart from the leisure look to that sporty look, searching for advanture.

But when doing stripes on verts, you need to pay a little more attention to blending in the interior colors

As a fellow vert owner, I've been toying with the same idea for some time now. I decided against the stripes only because my neighbor has the grabber orange with the black stripes and we'd look too much alike. Now a cool looking hood on the other hand I think would be a better mod.

No stripes. That is a nice car you got there. Leave it alone. If you must have stripes, I would say-white-.

Well your Screaming Yellow vert would look awesome with black stripes....
