personally i wouldnt, i think the gold stripes would be to much, ghosting them on is another idea, but most likly by you having them ghosted on its not going to look like its gold

Ummmmm....I am going to have to go with "or what"
U got pics of the soon to be doomed car? 92_maro's right, if you ghost on gold, is prolly not gonna look that gold. Talk to a body shop first to see if they can make it happen tho....

i never was a fan of having stripes on a car that's already two tone, whether theyre ghosted or not, but that's just IMHO

Check with a local vinyl shop........Aggggggh, I said the "V" word...
See if they can hook you up with some vinyl stripes in yer fav color..... GOLD!!
It would be cheaper than painting them on and if you get flamed every day for the rest of your life for them, then you can easily peel them off
