Re: I\'ve been striped...whatcha think?

Hmmm, I would say that yellow is about the only color on a GTS that perhaps looks better w/o being stripped. What about yellow w/ silver stripes? I've never seen that before. That might look pretty good.

Your car looks fantastic btw. :usa:

Re: I\'ve been striped...whatcha think?

D.K. - thanks for the kind words. Got it lowered an inch and def makes the car look even more aggressive. Yeah, I was thinking may be pearl white or silver. Not a huge fan of the black stripes and def not red stripes (McD) LOL

Tony, I wouldn't worry about these other guys striping their cars as yours sets the standard. One of the nicest looking cars on this board. (Now that should at least get me a free "get out of jail card". :2tu:

Re: I\'ve been striped...whatcha think?

How about pics of the rear. BTW, how far down do your stripes go down in the back?

Hmmm, you like the rear? LOL!!! Sorry....had to do it. :)

I can't comment on *****'s or ViperJon's, but mine (in the back) go all the way down and under.....THROUGH the plate area like a 96'.

G-man...I'm not worried about all these guys! They ALL look awesome and thats all that matters! :) I think we'll form our own splinter-club!! LOL!

I liked stripes so much that I had them painted on and have never regretted it. Your car looks 100% better!

Looks awesome. I had mine done a couple of years ago in white pearl vinyl. Never regretted it. Gives the car a whole different look.

I think Red with black stipes looks meaner. Looks great on your car. :2tu:

Yellow with black stripes, I dunno, guess I am partial to it.

I considered having them go through the plate area, but in the end opted not to go that route.

Re: I\'ve been striped...whatcha think?

I didn't have them go through the plate area either, it's a very tough spot for vinyl to be molded in there. I'll post a pic up of mine later. I had them go over the rear bumper of course, but didn't do that little spot above the rear exhaust, didn't think it was needed there.

Waiting on your pic's Bat.

Interesting side note. My wife was totally against getting it striped, she liked the red, very "classy" as she said. When we went to pick the car up, it was in the shop under some really bright lights and looked incredible. She walked in, took one look and said "Oh my God, I was wrong, it's beautiful"
You married guys know how often we hear those words...NOT. :headbang:

Re: I\'ve been striped...whatcha think?

Amazing transformation... Do you think solid yellow could use stripes?

Pict

I tell you what, if you don't want to go the obvious black, I wonder how a dark navy or dark graphite grey would look. I think it should be dark, don't know about a light silver. When you see a bumblebee coming you can spot it a mile away, I'd go with a dark color. Red, NO way... :eek:

Re: I\'ve been striped...whatcha think?

I have to say that the stripes look much much MUCH better NOT going thru' the NACA duct. Since they frame the NACA duct, it seems to really highlight the hood. Great job.

I agree i like the way they went around it...i need to find someone to do mine.:2tu:

sorry about the old post but it was kicked started anyway.

Good thing they are vinyl. It will be easy to get rid of them. Possibly use them on a nipsan,kamaro or rustang. GTS Bruce
