Default New 2011 Racing stripes option!!

OK not really...... my current project car is my '83 280ZX which I am building a turbo motor, etc for this winter. I'll be painting the car but I wanted to smooth it out by getting rid of some of the badging, etc but at the same time I didn't want to go with a solid colour or a full on two tone so I decided to do something along the lines of some BRE racing stripes. The ZX is sitting outside and it's almost freezing outside so the 370Z in the heated garage was just too tempting a workspace to resist..... so before I get asked 1.8 billion times why it says Datsun on the side.... it's similar to the original BRE stripes and the Datsun in the middle is part of the stripe. I've gone with more angle (actually the angle of the window) a thick and thin stripe and the "Datsun" fits perfectly within the imaginary lines between the two different coloured stripes. The flash makes the "Datsun" pop but its actually very close to the colour of the car so it's fairly subtle. The door as you know is pretty curvy so the angle makes the stripes look out of whack but they are perfectly straight when you look at them straight on.

Sorry the pictures suck but it's dark and cold outside so I took what I could in the garage.
