Should I get ralley stripes! Need a quick answer!
Hey I was wondering if you would think a 94 black on black rx7 r2 would look with 2 dark silver racing stripes down the center from front to back? The stripes would be about 6" wide for each stripe with an inch and a half seprating the 2 stripes. Would stripe accents, you know the really thin stripes that go on the outside of the main stripe, look good or should I go with just a plain 2 large stripes. I think they look really good.
Any opinions are welcome! If possible can you send me a link to were I can view a vehicle like this? I gotta decide tonight before it goes into the shop for a whole new paint job. As is I am going with the stripes with no accents. |
hell no.. i hate racing striped.. no offense just not my cup of tea... keep it clean looking.. i have seen a couple Fd's with stripes... just nasty
go to www.autotrader.com and put in zip code 91333 and look for a Red FD with stripes... looks terrible hope this helps |
i say no, and so will the majority of the people on this forum.
but it is your car and you can do whatever you want to it. |
I guess............I couldnt find that car in the auto trader so if you can give me a direct link to it that would be great.

I think they look good if they're done well and have the right color combination. There's a three rotor car, I think it's Petitt's, isn't it? that has the color stripes you're considering (black with silver stripes). I think the car was recently in one of the magazines. Someone should have a picture of it.

Cam's car is blueish/purple color.

sometimes i like them sometimes i dont...personally being a big fan of old school muscle cars i DO NOT like them on imports
i mean its fugly seeing every car on the road with strypes..personally i say stay from anythign thats gonna make anyone throw a eyebrow to my car |
What difference does it really make if we like it? It's your car. Are you not going to date a girl you like if you're friends don't find her attractive?

i agree with bacon. stripes down the middle is definitely a domestic thing.

No stripes on a fairly round car. A square peg is not meant for a round hole. Your parents should have taught you that long ago. The reason that old muscle had them was to accent the body lines. I am a huge advicate for the cease and desist of racing stripes on FD's. Come on kids, support the cause. Send your charitable donations to me and I will purchase the 20b that I have been looking at lately.

When I first read your question, I was going to post that I don't like racing stripes at all on FDs. Then I saw the_glass_man and Mr. Stock's cars ... and realized they can look damn nice. :cool:
But seriously, do what you want. It's your car. Our opinions are completely and totally irrelevant. |
Yeah, I think it has to be done right, otherwise....
I like Mr. stock's car. |

It's a lot easier to find someone going around the track when you can identify them! :D |
I just wanted opinions I never said I was going to follow them. I think I'am gonna hold off on the stripes and buy a fuel mod instead. Thanx
