I liked the looks of my matchbox toy so much I had to try the stripes out on my rig. My paint is dark blue metallic.
Now do I put numbers on the door..... hummmm maybe a white circle with numbers.... maybe.

The pic is a bit low res and off color because I used my cell phone at night.
What do you guys think?

Stripes look good. I might have done a silver. No numbers is my vote.

I guess the numbers would make me a huge poser.

I do need my big 35" tires, wheels and bumpers. Just waiting for my tax refund/bonus around March. At least that is what the wife said.

Going with 17" Allied beadlock Monster RT wheels with MTZ 35's. Plate bumpers with a front stinger added. Oh I can't wait.

Like the stripe. But if you just have to have the # I think I would have to get magnet # and that away you can remove them

I took a couple pictures outside with a better camera. My Irish Wolf Hound is a 165 pound camera hog.

Even better! Bold call putting those stripes on already such a nice Bronco. I like it. Nice job. Override the wife and get bigger meats soon! Marriages come and go, but nice EBs are for life. Keep them happy.

Thanks guys for the complements! A few other colors may have also worked like red, yellow, or silver but I like the white for now. I even thought about neon yellow or blaze orange. Maybe after a few beers I will try it. ;D

I have a friend that does car wraps and we are going to try putting a large white piece on just the raised part of the hood and run it to the back edge of the hood/windshield. We were thinking about printing a bucking bronco on it in black but I don’t want it to look cheesy.

I figured if I don’t like it or get board of it I can just peal them off.

The stripes are 6" wide with a 1" space between them. I spent $10 and have bunch left over.

It makes it allot easier if you spray allot of water with a bit of dish soap on the truck and the stripe first then squeegee them down.

I think it looks awesome! I was wanting to add those stripes to my blue 74 also once I saw that particular matchbox.

The stripes look awesome! But I agree with the others that said they would skip the numbers.
