Stripe idea - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

ArchTrickster · 11-09-2010, 10:31 AM

I feel that black stripes on a black mach is silly so I was wondering if anyone with photoshop skills could put dual dark red stripes,nose to tail (similar to new gt500s) on an 04 black mach w/04 cobra front bumper. It looks nice in my head but we all know how that goes lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

i can already tell you that would look sexy

It may look alright. But, the black on black is the coolest. The problem is, if you change from black, you should do the SHAKER in the same color. Or the stripe will not accent the scoop, just hide it. If you don't change the scoop also, you'll have this BIG black thing in the middle, that doesn't flow with the stripe. That looks weird.

Thanks for the input guys! It's still a w.i.p. idea. 460hpmach1, how is civilian life treating you? I hope things are going smoothly.

Don't have time to tweak with PS right now, but here is my car with red stripes. Probably are brighter red than you want (since you mentioned dark), and I don't have the cobra bumper, but you can get an idea.

Thank you very much for the pics blackbeast. Yeah those stripes were a little too bright for me, I did some searching and I think the stripe color I want is "Colorado red" from the 2011 gt500s. I can't decide if I want the stripes going from nose to tail or just hood to nose.

Something similar to this, except on 04 cobra body parts and the stripes would be further apart

Not a problem. They actually come off a little brighter than they actually are in person.
