Stripes
 

A few days ago I saw a white Saleen ('05 or '06) with two fat black stripes running over hood, roof, trunk, etc. like the old mustangs used to have and it looked really good.

Okay, I don't have the $$ right now, but am wondering about putting silver stripes on my car. Would love to get the feedback of the Saleen-loyal (I'm thinking Saleenanistas? Saleenazzi?). Is striping a Saleen sacrilege? Tacky? A fabulous idea? You wouldn't do it, but there's nothing wrong with it? Hurt resale? Just in case I win the lottery and have a bunch of extra cash laying around...

Thanks in advance!

If you like the looks do it. It is your car.

Here's a pic of a similar car (just disregard all that extreme and 640 crap plastered all over it...)

Way to Shelby-like. I can't remember any Saleens with stripes on the top and I dont think they should if you keep it "Saleen"

I've always liked the Shelby-looking wide strpes; although, I think I'll keep my Saleen stock.

I really like the stripes, it adds that race ready look to any car, and its not specific to any car. I think the official name of dual wide stripes is LEMANS style, but correct me if I am wrong. As far as doing it to your car, being a SALEEN, I would make sure you get them painted on, the money is well worth it. Vinyl stripes used on cars today have a life of about 5 to 7 years before they begin to chip and come up. But it's just my 2 cents

Cheers!

should have filled in the white SALEEN with blue to make it readable, with the opposite contrast

RE: Stripes
 

or to keep the stripe more "saleen looking" make the blue stripe on that white car a single wide stripe (space between the 2 stripes are distracting) and on the hood the saleen logo (like the one on the steering wheel) oriented sideways to make it the center stripe on the hood

hhhmmm??? I think I'll try and photoshop this and see how it looks

Arent they the S.C.S.A. (Saleen Club South America) Nicaragua chapter?

RE: Stripes
 

Yes and I believe the Saleenazzi are the Italian contingent....

Those pix are so helpful, dotbomb. Thanks for sharing! I like the stripes.
