That is exactly what I was thinking!

Don't do it on a Z. Don't mess up a perfectly beautiful vehicle. Racing stripes will just look tacky and it'll give it that ricer look. If you want to do it might as well two tone the car in green and purple and put 24's on it... JK, but yea don't do it. For the love of the Z community don't do it. It'll be equivalent to this status YouTube - 350z riced out... Not quite, but yea you get the picture. We have many who disagree the racing stripes and some who are for it. We should have a poll!!!

EDIT: Go for that Hella Flush look or go for that Time Attack look. Say NO to the fast and furious look!!!

Based on the pictures posted, I disagree with you completely.

SophiaZ · 04-26-2010, 05:30 PM

I experimented again later that week...that didn't work out either haha. After this one I called the decals quits.... just got a new wing and carbon hood and it looked much cleaner and satisfying

I don't care for the wheels, but variety is the spice of life.

The post I quoted quoted another post, & together, they made me laugh.
