I think Joe has one of the coolest looking rigs on the site - I'm thinking about having that stripe made for mine but in red. My question is do y'all think it would look good or look like crap on my rig??? Maybe a color other than red?

Here is his:




Here is mine:

My favorite color combo is Black and Red. That would look good on your truck. Would you have the words on the stripe too?

i like the color of the 4 in FX4, just my 2 cents
 
#5 ·
That's a good thought too because I'm going to be doing the carbon dash overlay so it would match it pretty good.

I've been thinking about that - since I'll have them made I can make it say anything I want I guess. I really like the Ford symbol in the middle of it though.

im thinking same as wetco416 go with the silver on the 4 of FX4:thumb:

It reminds me of the Super Bee stripe! I ALWAYS LOVED them man!

I thought that Mopar was at it HEIGHT with the:
68-69 Charger, GTX, Road Runner, and Superbird!

I LOVE the 383, and I get WQQD for the 440's!

But the PSD BEATS them ALL!!!

I was at the local car show here in spring! (EVERY Saturday night Champions, and Spring Cypress) and I just got my SCT, so I decided to show off a little for the crowd! I let her eat a little rubber! OMG it is AWESOME!

Honestly the silver would look killer too. Don't see anything else red on the truck except for your shock boots. Silver would look good with your chrome rims and emblems.

I tried to PhotoChop it Josh but you can't get the same effect because you loose the gloss - I'm just not good enough with PhotoChop I guess. :)
Hey Bob I KNEW you'd be grinning from ear to ear after you got your SCT. :thumb:
So far it looks like everyone is leaning towards silver. I never even thought about it but y'all are right it would look pretty good.

My Dad always said that I had Gasoline in my blood, I guess he meant DIESEL!

So far it looks like everyone is leaning towards silver. I never even thought about it but y'all are right it would look pretty good.
White would be nice, and give is a simple look!
Gold would be nice, give it a BIG BALLA(I heard that word on TV) look!
Grey would be subdued, but cool!
Yellow would be an attention getter!
Red would be an attention getter as well (I read that Red vehicles get MORE tickets!)
Lime Green would be HOTT as well! (I wouldn't do that one but it would look HOTT)

Hmm that is all I could think of off the top of my head!

Hope that confuses ya!
:drive:

Bob!

Alan, my vote would be the silver/grey color like everyone else suggested, but with a matte finish. I think that would look pretty sweet against your shiny black rig. Oh, and is that a Bully Dog badge above your Power Stroke Turbo Diesel badge??? WUWT?
 
#17 ·
:lol: Yeah I used to run the TripleDog before I was shown the SCT light. :lol:
I thought the dogs on the side looked cool plus when a guy with Banks pulled along side of me, saw the BullyDog and thought he could take me he'd get the SCT SUPRISE! :lol:
That picture is actually old - I don't have the dog on the side anymore but I have a V-8 Powerstroke badge on the front like the gassers have and I've got 6.0 Turbo Diesel stickers on the fold in my hood. I'm actually getting a cowl hood like Stumps here pretty quick - Tony (gcop) has a great line on 'em and you can't beat the price. If I go with a grey stripe I'll change out my hood stickers for grey as well on the new hood.
Thanks everyone - y'all have me about ready to have a couple made right now in silver. I sure appreciate it because I never would have thought of it in that color.

I like the stripe idea, but asking me what color is asking the wrong person. I've almost gotta see it to know if I like it... guess my imagination isn't that good.
 
#15 ·
ABOBB:

I think guys like you and I are ALMOST out of luck, with a tutone truck. It will be harder to match and still look cool!
:D
 
#16 ·
I also really like the silver idea.
 
#18 ·
Alan heres my :twocents:, ive had ALOT of vinyl made for the chopper bizz thing, imo i wouldnt make it just the opposite as Joe's, they make an AWESOME metallic silver that would look just totally awesome (as a matter of a fact i still have some i could send you a peace to checkout). oooo and Joe i do like your "old school" lookin strips:thumb::thumb:
 
#20 ·
Shoot Cody if you've got a piece I could lay up against it that would be awesome buddy - thanks! Metallic silver sounds flat out AWESOME!!!!!
 
#21 ·
Cody brings up a good point - since it's looking like I'll probably get them what should it say or look like. If anything actually - maybe just a stripe? What do y'all think?
 
#26 ·
Ya know what Cody I think all y'all have sold me on the metallic silver and I can't see how it would look bad. I'm just going to call and have 'em made so I appreciate it but I'm just gonna go for it. Who does your vinyl work?
Rick's idea of the black FORD in the middle of it sounds cool but part of me is thinking less is more and may just have the stripe with the small side stripes like Joe has on his.
 
#27 ·
ok Alan, ill get ahold of my guy hes up here in Indiana, he can cut it and send it to ya, but im sure you can find someone close there,,, but come on Alan how abooot a little powerstroke , ford , something:D:D hhmmmm how about some flames :D:D:rolleyes::whistle::whistle: hey now ok WHOS voting NO strip?!?!?!!?!? j/k:rolleyes:
 
#29 ·
Well y'all tell me what should be on the stripe. :)

I've got a buddy who does my Powerstroke.org business cards I'll ask because he own a printing company so I'm sure he has vinyl contacts. If not I'll call Tints-n-More - they're members here and they do DJ's graphics on Mini Me.

WOW, i have not seen this thread yet, but it is a head sweller for sure!!!!!:woot

personally, my first choice, i would make the red stripe and put the Ford "FX4" sticker over it, but the silver does sound purdy cool, but with the theme in mind.
 
#30 ·
i like the stripe in silver idea.....I think it would look sweet.
 
#35 ·
you know...I ahve always liked that stripe on stroker~x's truck. In fact his is the only truck I have ever seen it on. Talk about limited edition. I like Roberts idea of the killer bee style with the old style oil cans. That would be cool.
 
#37 ·
now make one in black on a silver dually.:D I wait right here GI.
