Title: Ralley stripes Post by: 2ML67 on June 16, 2005, 03:22:04 pm Considering two stripes over the top of my car starting at the front with the Sunbird turbo hood vents and continuing that width over the top and down the back. They would be in silver matching the hood vents. Opinions please. Dan

I'd do 1 wide one from the crest to midway down the rear fascia. Pshop in the works for the visually impaired.

The Ford GT40 comes to mind. http://www.me.mtu.edu/~prater/carpics/fords/GT40/gt40_4.jpg

To date the only stripe jobs I've seen (and liked), are on 70s & older muscle cars, where I find that a well placed stripe or two fits the character of the car nicely. OTOH the big wide stripes that I see on every fifth or so current sport-compact are just plain goofy to my eyes.

Title: Re: Ralley stripes Post by: 2ML67 on June 19, 2005, 08:32:01 pm Ended up deciding on some graphics down side of car instead. Put them down the side above center molding may not be for some but I like it. Now considering having some thing made up for door below molding. I was looking at the Indy with its decal and was thinking of some thing similar like "3800 SUPER CHARGED" or something like that, what do you think. Maybe we could come up with some thing like "OTTAWA FIERO CLUB" or some thing for the doors for our cars.
Need another project too much time to think can be dangerous. Dan |
