Are those PINK? The driver side one looks to be bigger is it supposed to be that way? I dont think that pink is the best choice for stripes on a red car, but if you like it that is all that matters

Probably just a thin coat of white still showing some red through...

I think it looks decent. Better than they do on most cars. I would stick with wide lines though. Thin ones look crappy IMO.

I agree, and sorry I thought that you actually painted your car with pink stripes. I think it will look good.

I agree, but I think those are just a little bit too thick and a bit too close together. maybe make the center red 'stripe' a bit wider. at least I think so.

Im not a fan of racing stripes period, wide or narrow...just tacky in my opinion...just like the lights on the DSM in the back ground.

Why would you put nice looking wheels on a car?

I say it all has to do with taste. If you like it, go for it.

Its funny how we say that, but when people get really crazy with the wings and the 20" chrome wheels and the paint with 5 colors we yell at them and say they should be hit.

Where did we all go so wrong?

What rxhevin posted looks good in that case. But not on an NA and probably not on a real car. I had two thin offcenter stripes on mine and I really didn't like it much. Needless to say, they got taken off. Lucky for me they were just stickers.
