Stripes?

tnav · 10-31-2013, 08:48 PM

yeah I actually traded my 1980 Firedbird for my current 2012 Z and added the eagle on the hood of the Z, common man!!!, why add stripes, leave the Z alone or get your Mustang back!!! HAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

stripes have been on Z's since the 70's. LOL!

I think stripes were created because everyone had the same car and they needed a way to stand out or be different than every other (insert common car name here).

If you own a Z, you stand out.
If you stripe it, you become just another (insert common car name here) owner.

Looks like the Z got a bloody nose, and then drove really fast.

On the lower side valance, if you had a custom stripe, that went from the front tire, to the rear tire, and flared out at the end, to follow the contour of the body, and in the flare have a Z, cut out, or added, to match the side emblem. This would tend to give some attention to the side of the Z. I have read post about stripes, not well received, except this one red Z, w/ a white stripe, that had something similiar. I have a 2010 PG, w/ 40th wheels. I was thinking a stripe, the color of the wheels. What do you think?

I think it's like most things, if it's done right, it can look right but it's so a personal preference.
I'm having mine done today, well sections wrapped as opposed to stripes but it's a very personal choice as to what looks good, in my humble opinion.

What's up with this mal? I'm kinda anxious to see the result cause I love to see the unique styles of our cars
