Stripes?
 
Hey guys, hear me out... I traded a 06Mustang GT, for a 2010 370Z. On the Mustang, I had Mustang Gt custom stripes put on the side, (not like the V6). It looked great. 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? :stirthepot:

Difficult for me to visualize. Maybe one of the Photoshop gurus can mock something up.

Perhaps you want something like this? 370z Gt Edition :) https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...-Hhh4fBu-bewkT

Maybe you should have saved your $$ and put Nismo stickers on your Mustang!

Its a Z, not a mustang. No stripes.

I don't think a tasteful line like the GT shown is all that bad. I would puke all over a big center stripe though.

Well.. you asked.. and no opinion is invalid, but stripes on a Z just doesn't do it for me. Too cheesey, fake, rice'ish looking for me.

Ewww stripes......

All I am gonna say.

I like it, too. :tiphat: It doesn't detract from the lines of the car.

I don't think the bumper-to-bumper, across the top "old style" racing stripes looks that good on the 370, even if it looked great on the 2xxZ's.

I'd say go for it. And PLEASE look into using plasti-dip in case it looks like *** then you can simply remove it.

I like the nismo stripes tbh. I saw a white z in person and it looked great

Maybe consider that?
