Mr.Bill
I too think on a strictly white car the strips would give it some flow. I remember the mustangs of my past, like the 60's and the all black fastbacks 2+2's some guys had and they went with the double silver strips put down the center line of the car. The strips were 12" wide and it broke up the constant Black on black on black. But the same thing works well on a all white car as well. But no matter what, you've got a real sweet ride there. Is it up in the air or is it sitting on five 2X8 ? If so, that's a novel way to jack it up !

Black wheels, red calipers, those stripes and lower just a little more. Then I would leave it alone.

If it's not a Grand Sport, then why put Grand Sport stripes on it?

Do it. I like the stripes on the fenders.
But, I would only have done it on the driver's side.

Nice improvement!
But only on the left side, not both.

I like it and as you mentioned, you can always remove them if you grow tired of them. I think some red brake calipers would also help break up the white if that's the look you want.
