Just make sure that they're done in the 25th Heritage style and not you're typical "racing stripes.":nono:

Exactly. Most "racing" stripes look awful and kill the look of a car.

HINT: IMHO make sure they are strait, not too wide, and for the love of the almighty keep them off the bumpers!

BTW, hard to go wrong with silver on red. Not quite as bold as white, which suits some cars well.

Chris, Nice ghost stripes!

Most "racing" stripes look awful and kill the look of a car.
I personally like traditional stripes better than the heritage stripes. Anyone see the stripes on the burgandy RS in CHP? Those are perfect IMHO.

those ghost stripes are beautiful...i would have chosen to keep them off the front clip but it looks great all the same.

i know some maroon cars got gold Iroc decals, so why not gold? i think that might look OK on maroon.
