Default Stripes yes or no

I'm thinking about getting Shelby esque striping done on my truck. If anything, I'm leaning towards the rocker stripes in white. I've also been thinking about going bold with the racing stripes. Something similar to this. I've also added a pic of my truck. If anyone is bored and wants to photoshop, I wouldn't complain!

IMO, it will only look justified if you've also done some manner of lift/level and larger tires, or, conversely, lowered it. Otherwise, stripes with stock tires and stance looks a bit ... "trying too hard". Additionally, I'd suggest removing the "4x4" sticker on the bed if you do stripes; it'll get too busy and cartoonish.

Love the color of your truck!

I don't like the stripes on the sides; the ones on the hood and tailgate would be fine. It's your truck so you should do what you decide makes you happy.

Point taken. I want it to be tasteful if at all possible without looking too busy. The 4x4 sticker will be going away either way at some point. I also was wondering if the white stripes would conflict with the chrome. If I ever get new wheels, I will be stayin with chrome. Good points, thank you!

The stripes on the Raptor look good because of the sporty nature of the truck and no chrome. I'm not too sure how well stripes would look on your truck with the chrome. You've got a nice looking truck

I like the side stripes. Would you have a word cut out of them? You could get something custom.

The stripes would have either f150 cut out or 5.0.

Thank you. That was my concern with the chrome.

You could borrow the stripes like those on the top of that building in the background! LOL
