Update: 3 tone car? has anyone seen one? Pics of my car added

  

logicbombx -> Update: 3 tone car? has anyone seen one? Pics of my car added (5/9/2008 10:03:22 AM)

I have an 07 grabber orange mustang. I bought it used. Some interesting things happened to the car while it was at the dealer. It didn't sell so they tried to make it a bit more attractive.

First they painted pin stripes on the car. Then they added a spoiler and black rally stripes after the pin stripes didn't work. Then crazy me found the car online and fell in love.

So here is my question. Has anyone seen a 3 tone car? I'm thinking about adding silver rocker stripes to the side of my car. There are two pin stripes on my car. Black on the top silver on the bottom. So I thought adding silver rocker stripes would keep with the color scheme. Silver on the sides, black on the top.

What do you think? Am I crazy? Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

I just added blue pins to my silver stripes.  (On a black car.)

I'll get some pics tomorrow.  I think it looks pretty good.

Someone else on here has a white car with silver stripes and red pins.  That was nice too.

Agreed, I gotta see the car as it is now to picture this. My friends/family have told me that
the hood/roof stripes and rocker stripes are too busy. So, rally + pins + rockers sound like a
lot to me.

Post some pics!

3 tone car sounds like a ricer.

In that case, you might as well put lime green flames on the side and a purple stripe from front to back that goes along the driver side.

Then again...who knows, it might turn out badass...

I have seen that on some of the rental turn in cars at the Ford used 
dealership.
Not my cup o tea but what the hey, its your baby. [8|]

I like the black racing stripes on the grabber orange.  Don't like the side pin stripes as much, and if you add any more stripes your 'Stang might start looking like a bad pair of golf pants.  JMHO of course.

plutnicki -> RE: 3 tone car? has anyone seen one? (5/9/2008 1:21:33 PM)

My $0.02? Pull the pins, replace the factory vinyl with vinyl or paint that runs down
the bumpers in the front and rear. Then, if you have $$, and still think it needs it, think about
rockers.

Not liking those pins at all, personally, especially on the back the way they
seem to run perpendicular to the ones on the sides. Wierd, IMHO.

I would definitely NOT add rocker stripes, of either color, to that combo.

Anyway, not my car, do what you like. But, you did ask... :)

I have a hard time believing they painted pin stripes on a car

yup, painted pin stripes. I kinda like them, just trying to figure out if a silver rocker would really set it off.

Double check, those cant be PAINTED pin stripes.
I have seen the exact same ones on used stangs here.
And they ae all aftermarket vynal stripes.

Trust me, they are painted.

I agree; paint the wide stripes to cover the front and back bumpers and lose the pinstripes completely. Pinstripes are for your mom's mini van. I think that you should add painted GT rockers and call the painting done.

I had those same pin stripes on my car.  I had the dealer remove them before I bought it.

Is that a Roush Grill?

Guess mine counts as a 3 tone.
