Stripes or no? Need opinions
#22
Got the new bumper test fitted after work today. Need to do the exhaust tips tomorrow, but pretty darn happy so far:
Not really related to the stripes discussion, but also pleased with how the lighting turned out. Saleen uses a kind of hacky setup with a regular bulb/holder from a Focus for the plate that isn't even weather tight (just a flat lens and metal clips to hold a bulb), then they try to make a sealed housing using aluminum tape behind the trim panel.
I ditched all that and bought a fully sealed LED license light unit (intended for a BMW if I recall) and slightly modded the trim panel to accept it.

Stripes look better on some cars than others. Stripes on a vette are ugly. My sig shows that I like the stripes on my street car (past and present), but the stripes for me, have to be factory .....nothing customized. Also stripe all the way to the ground. Don't leave the stripes hanging at the edge of the hood or trunk lid etc.
My mustang is not striped, but can still crush my Viper in the 1/4....lol
