Question Graphics/decal kits + rally stripes?

Hey all,

I was recently looking around at some trucks online and saw some rams with rally stripes and thought they looked awesome and it got me thinking about doing it to my truck. Only problem for me is I have 2 tone paint so the grey on the bottom would have to be painted white...

On thing I'm also concerned with is the chrome bumpers I have, would blue rally stripes looks stupid on a white truck with chrome bumpers? I think the stripes would good but the chrome is whats stopping me haha, and of course the grey that would be removed/painted over.

I found a kit on ebay for $30 of 30' of blue vinyl rally stripes and also a website that apparently I cant say on here lol, that has a ton of decal kits and I was just wonder what some opinions out there may be on these kinda things. I know people who can professionally put them on and it's something I'm really considering to do because to be honest, how many rams do you see with the stripes besides a few SS/T's and the occassional 2 stripes on just a hood and tailgate (do the whole body!)

I was even thinking of doing a Mopar bed stripe (where the rumble bee stripe is on..well, rumbel bees duh lol) but the grey will still conflict with it and of course I would only do either the rally stripes or the bed stripe, not both cuz it'd probably look weird. My friend found nasty rally decals for rams with srt-10 hoods but I have the rumble bee and was wondering how it would work out...

Like I said just wanted to hear some opinions on it and maybe even good places to get some. You can see my truck in my signature so you'll be able to get a better look of how it may be with stripes on it

thanks guy

Find you local sign shop, they'll have lots of colors and should be able to design anything you want. I don't think blue stripes would look bad but I'd be looking more toward a darker tone.

you could always go the black and white theme. nothing beats a classic. metallic stripes might look good also to compliment the chrome.

yea thats actually the website I was trying to post but it was as a different link so i couldnt...

As for the blue I would do like a dark blue, nothing too light but not so dark that it's almost black or anything, like the blue on the SS/T or the dark blue on mustangs and stuff like that
