    Those look GOOD to me.
    I want to see a Comet or a Mav with them installed.

    Now...I approve of the front stripe. However. The rear/rocker stripe shouln't stop at the beltline. It should continue up and across the rear deck and meet the other side.

    Sweet.
    I'm going to Photoshop one.

    i doubt its a ford kit

    probably just a vintage aftermarket kit.

    theres probably a civic owner right now buying a stripe kit for his ricer that will never make it on his car and 30 years from now we'll see it on ebay.

    I like the front C stripe idea.

    You just can't go wrong with flames or an American flag theme though.
    Red and white stripes with plenty of stars! Ooooh! An big ol metal flake paint like a Disco ball!

    I'm with Seth ... that rocker stripe chops the car up too much. Make the midband stripe follow the crease in the body line all the way back and this kit would look OK. It would follow what is already there instead of fighting it. It would also mesh with the stripe running between the taillights.

    While I was at it I chopped off that barb in the hood stripe. Now the whole thing looks like '68 Torino GT stripes. I think I would like these better being white stripes on a darker or bright colored car, rather than dark stripes on a light car.
