I say no stripes on the white truck. Less is more in it's case.

Although I usually don't like stripes toprat's truck looks awesome with the flat black stripes.

I think the stripes in the 1st pic would look great - match tme up to some nice black wheels and you will have a sweet lookin truck!

Thanks for all the opinions guys! I'm SO torn. I really like both sets of stripes. One thing I need to consider is if I just do simple stripes, I can just do them in Vinyl. But if I do the Foose style, I'm going to paint them flat black. That is a HUGE step! So it's probably going to be the regular stripes in about 12"-14" width, with a 1/4" pinline around them. How wide are yours SMOK][N ? That is the width I have in mind, but with a pinline. Unless I can find a VERY reasonable painter. As far as matching the wheels with the black stripes, I'm doing a chrome lip with white centers to match the truck. I think with the 24's it will really set off the truck.

Of course after all of this is done... I want to drop it, BUT again I have to really think it out... I carry a lot of stuff in the bed of my truck 2500 pounds at times. So that seriously puts a damper on that I think????

Don't think you'll go wrong either way. They both look good.

Personally I like the truck all white, it just looks so clean. But the stripes don't look bad either. Tough call.

Foose, Little different, looks pretty cool, and I'd say stick with black, or metalic Gray. Dont go Blue/Red, Kinda be a little Honda Civ-icky!

Just my .02cents!

Love those fx2's!
