Default Another Style of Stripe

I was on car sales having a look at fpv's (I like to see the 2nd hand prices) when I came across this one. I thought it was an intersting stripe combo on the GT. I know it's not to everyones liking, but I think it looks ok.

I'm not a fan of the rims. Would like to see how it would look with the 19" BA MK2 GTP rims

I agree, that's one awesome looking setup. Not a fan of the rims, though.

looks great- exactly what I had in mind for my GT when I (eventually) get it.....

Some of the mustangs in the US have the same stripes- looks bloody hot I reckon

Is it just me or is the FPV badge on the boot not on straight? Looks a little bit lower on the left side.

I like that stripe look, but minus the bulge decals and another set of rims.

Nope not my thing. Looks good from the back but pretty ordinary from the front IMO.

The "Boss" decal should be removed as it detracts from the stripe.

I've seen worse rims.

And yes, the FPV badge is crooked.

I agree the band aids on the bonnet plus the stripe on the bonnet is to much..

I like it, rims aswell. Not sure why everyone thinks they look crap, i think they look quite good, no overthetop bling, very simple and clean, but i suppose an e-mutant such as myself would have weird tastes :P

I agree.

Some rims look too shiny, almost like chromed plastic. Although the rims are different, they actually look metal, and once again, I've seen worse rims that others love.

I think the car looks nice. I'd take those rims over my stock VTII Acclaim hubcaps

I reckon the rims look great. It'd look smoother without the Boss decal and I think I'd black out the bumper bits that are silver.

The Cheapest I've seen is is $37,490, but I think the best one is one for $39,990 driveaway with 46,774 on the clock

Never know when theres a real bargin that's too hard to resist. Actually, I like to see just how much the FPV's are listed for at the dealers. One thing I've notcied is the F6 seems to hold it's value a little longer than the GT.

Nice ride, not too big on the rims or the stripe, much prefer the stripes on Bucky's & Jim's cars.
