i am thinking about putting white racing stripes on my car (6 or 8 inch) and found this site that has auctions on e-bay (colebrothers.com) and jsut wanted some opinions on the quality of these stripes and if anyone has any other suggestions... thanks

 

DOnt go vinyl!!! ALways paint them on looks better and then they sit flush with the color.... 8 inch stripes.... any skinnier and the car will look sickly lol

 

yea, def paint them on or have someone else do it. It will look a lot better then those vinyl ones.

 

I was thinkin about gettin stripes on my car too...just wondering how much more it will cost to paint them, than to get decals.

 

I would lean towards getting a detail shop to paint the stripes on. Does anyone have a link to good pictures and descriptions of the racing stripes on classic Mustangs?

 

For vinyl strips check out www.graphic-express.com, although I think a great deal of patience and skill is required to get the full length stripes on straight and without bubbles. I have seen a few cars with this product and they looked pretty good. But as everyone says, paint is better.

 

i love racing stripes. i gained 12hp with my 8in. LOLOLOL

 

i got stripes on mine. if i knew how to put this picture i would show you. it will atract ALOT of attention

 

I had this old POS like 8 years ago... put some black stripes on it (vinyl)... one day (sunny day) got some dust on them and my buddy thought it would be funny to draw some dicks on them with his finger.. you would think, no harm just dust.. well those marks dont come off... so i wouldnt suggest vinyl. I think what the other said about painting them on is the best way. But also dont forget , it aint gonna be cheap, and once they are on.. they are on... I dunno... i would just save the money and put it under the hood.. IMHO...

good luck

 

OH YEAH... didnt want to drive away with dicks on my car... so those babies had to come of... man... bye bye paint! good times
