    I like the stripe okay on that car, but I think it looks better with brighter colors.
    I am not a fan of black over darker blues.

    I agree with 411 however, gloss black would look better than flat black. I hate all flat black on cars. JMO

    I have been showing your car to everyone. I say "this is exactelly what I want my Maverick to look like". I found it on car domain.

    I didn't know you were a member here! But I voted no stripes.. but if you change the rims or something then stripes may look good.

    I like the stripe just a teeeeeeeeency bit better than no stripe. But just barely. I am with the flamers :)confused: :eek: :slap: ) I think a silver ghost flame would be.....would be......well....it would be. I think it's an incredible car either way, but ghost flames would be an awesome touch. JMO. By the way- GREAT JOB!!!!(y) :bananaman Preston

    Looks like it will be stripes for me. Stripes are winning 2-1. I already have a stripe kit I bought off of ebay, I just need to put it on. I would love to explore some custom paint ideas I have but the paint is not in the best shape. So until it gets repainted I am going to keep it simple. Thank you all for you opinions.
