R50/53 Stripes? Viper? Standard? HELP!?
Stripes? Viper? Standard? HELP!?
First I'm going CR/B MCS. I've narrowed it done to 13 choices for matching bonnet and boot stripes, but can't decide. Anyone got any recommendations from or beyond what I'm looking at?
here is what I'm looking at
Option 1: Viper stripes to ground - body color grill - body color grill rim
Option 2: Viper stripes to ground - body color grill - black grill rim
Option 3: Viper stripes to grill - black grill and rim
Option 4. Option 1 + black scoop
Option 5: Option 2 + black scoop
Option 6: Option 3 + black scoop
Option 5: Option 4 + stripes alternate to red over black scoop
Option 6: Option 5 + stripes alternate to red over black scoop
Option 7: Option 6 + stripes alternate to red over black scoop
Option 8: OEM style plain black - body color grill and rim
Option 9: OEM style plain black - body color grill - black grill rim
Option 10: OEM style plain black - black grill and rim
Option 11: Option 8 + black scoop
Option 12: Option 9 + black scoop
Option 13: Option 10 + black scoop
I'm kinda leaning toward 13
I've included some rough cut and paste/color in jobs of some of the options. And thank you to whoever took the wonderful picture of the front of their mini before I butchered it.

The style of viper stripes I'm considering on a silver MCS

Some other things I've been tossing around
Think I'd see about blacking out the inside of the lights on this one as well, seems like I saw a thread about painting in there.

Some side stripes

Seriously though what exactly differentiates between the two? Do the thinner outer lines make it Shelby/cobra? I've seen some with these lines label vipers as well, so I'd love to actually know what the difference is.
Yes. The thin outer part of the stripe is what makes it Shelby. Both styles
have two stripes going through the center of the body. Viper stripes would be solid. In both cases the stripes can also stop and curve inward where they meet the top of the grill.
