I'm getting my rx7 painted the same color dark blue as now, but I can get 2 silver racing stripes down the middle if I want. I think they would look pretty cool, but im not sure if I should get them. What do you guys think?

 

absolutly NO! Racing stripes make ur car look sorta domestic. Like mustangs and vipers. I don't look them wut so ever but it's only my opinion.

 

No.
Just as bad as those HUGE *** aluminum wings.

 

The only car i've seen stripes work well on is a viper, and since your car isn't a viper, I suggest you dont make it look ugly.

 

Hey,

Well its upto if you like go get it. But in my opinion id have to agree yeah they look ****. Only car they can be good is a viper.

Cheers
Chris

 

N O !

umm ive seen ALOT of Neons and mustangs with stripes..i dont get it..
its just so that you stare in your rear view mirror and go "Oh hey its a Vip--nevermind" and then you smoke their ***
dont forget that the new Mini has it too haha but i dont liek them either...no one reallly goes all out on stickers anymore unless its a showcar ...or riced out..

 

The vote speaks for itself.

 

back in the day, dodge made race stripes popular on there muscle cars. Thats why you see a lot of stipes on dodges. If you not driving a dodge, its not cool. if you are driving a dodge, thats not cool either

 

racing stripes, give me a break... lol its all personal preference though.

 

DON'T PAINT THEM ON!!!!!!!!! I do all the stripes, graphics, lettering, ect on my car in vinyl. The best thing about vinyl is that it lasts 5-7 years, or a day if you don't like it, and it doesn't cost you an expensive paint job to remove them if it doesn't work out. If you need the hook-up on vinyl, shoot me back an email @ oblivionembraced@aol.com I would need the size, color and width between stripes, but it would cost you 75-100 bucks for the stripes, I'll send you the squegee, application fluid, detailed instructions, and a roll of masking tape with it to get the job done right.

My friend just spent 2500 bucks on a paint job with racing stripes, and decided they made his MAXIMA look gay (LOL) as if they didn't anyways, but now he is looking at an estimate of nearly 800 bucks to fill in the stripes.

 

Stripes only look good on an old 70's muscle car (Chevelle, Roadrunner, Charger, GTO, etc)

 

 

might i suggest you get them in pink or light purple?

 

I guess I am ricer

 

wait a minute yall have never seen my car with stripes I think it looks good I'll post some pics, its beeing redone right now but this is when the front was a little messed up.

 

by the why knonfs nice stripes!

 

Don't know what you guys are talking about....

Stripes, if done right, emphasis on "done right", look awesome. In that nostalgic sports car racing kind of way.

When do you ever see a sports car racing around Laguna Seca without some kind of stripe or custom paint.

Men, not kids, men, have been painting race strips on thier sports cars for decades because it's sporting.

1 vote for stripes.

 

Im going to have to agree with the first wave of posters and go with no on the stripes
Rx7s are soo ******* beautiful without them, never seen one that I really liked with the stripes
could be that they exist and Iv never seen them (sorry knonfs but that picture is kind of hard to go by) but I wouldnt chance it...

 

here[IMG]e:\rx7\rightfront[/IMG] very dirty pic because it is getting worked on but look at this machine

 

get ghost stripes!

 

damn can't post the pics anyone know how to do it the right way without it saying its too big? Thanks

 

I think it's a generational thing. Older (40+) guys like them because the sports cars of their youth had them. Younger guys see them as ugly (as this poll shows.) Both viewpoints are valid. Just do what you like!

 

I guess I see it both as american muscle car worship, and another form of rice... neither of which I'm a big fan of

 

I'm only 24 I don't think I'm that old just like the racing stripes as long as they match the rims. silver stripes, silver wheels etc...

 

oh yeah and I'm not an american muscle car worshiper at all wouldn't buy an american car if I had to, love the rotary to much!!!
