What do you think

[Swedefish]

I know the -67 Barracuda could be ordered with a racing stripe going from bumper to bumper as the pic of the convert. I believe that with a red car it would have been white or black.

I`ve been tossing with the idea to have a custom made flat red stripe put on my Fastback.
I would like to have a stripe but not a stripe that stands out too much.
What do You guys think, would it ruin the look of the car?
Or maybe useless to put a flat red stripe on a red car?

I think a stripe would look good, but definitely not red on red.  I have a '68 Barracuda and I like the look of the hood stripe as well as the side stripes on the car. Kinda gives it a meaner look!! I think the '69 had a option with the side stripes. Either would look good, but I would go with a black or white stripe with the red paint!!

A black stripe would look good, and stand out a little less than a white stripe. I only prefer a white stripe, when the car has a white interior. Just my opinion though.

I would consider a flat black stripe.

Thanks guys and gals, keep `em comming

I would consider a flat black stripe.

Yes, that`s a great idea. Haven`t thought about flat black.

Bad pic,but my 69 about 14 years ago with the 69 side stripe in black.

googled a few pics.... i think black + the lower stipe would add to the looks...white would be good to IMO

Flat black on bottom sides, looks good, and not overbearing.

Flat black on bottom sides, looks good, and not overbearing.

IMO, the only hood/full-body stripes that look good are the dual stripes, such as on this GTX.

  Hey Swede,

Go for the Red like you were thinkling buddy, honestly as i got halfway through reading your thread and read Black and White i thought "how boring, red would look good" and then you typed in you were thinking Red.............. wow, ghost stripe, would look unreal.  Subtle but still racey.  I would go with a semi gloss in Red, flat will end up looking to chalky later on.

[Swedefish]

Thanks for your inputs guys and gals
You`ve given me something to think about, I`ll see if I can take a good pic
 to Photshop a stripe into.  But I`ll probably need help with that task.

White stripes look great on a red car - the whole point of racing stripes is to stand out , black is only a half measure that just isn't committed.

I could not agree more.
 If you have an opportunity to do something different, I'd say go for it 
 Why blend in 
 Plus the stripe down the hood looks way too "Camaroish"
All your decision though Swede
