Racing stripes?

Won't work with the hood lines at all, IMHO.

I didn't see a picture in your album with the stripes. Can you upload one for us to see? or Just P.M me because I would like to see it.

Only picture I have currently (they've been on for about three weeks)-- I was planning to do a photoshoot with a friend for her photography class, but the weather is awful.



I'd been considering doing GS stripes & figured I could show I'm a Saints fan without having to put a bumper sticker.

Yah i agree, i dont think i would like the fat stripe down the middle but maybe an unconventional set would look nice.

I like the type Cow has. Its different, but not over the top.

On a side note, Cow, how have I never seen your Z around? I'm pretty sure you're the only Z in town with stripes like that.

Not sure. I'm definitely the only one. I live in those new apartments off Clyde Fant. Do say hi if you see me.

Grand Sport stripes were used on older race cars for teams who had multiple cars in the same race. Since their paint jobs were the same, the stripes differentiated which car was being driven by whom. I put them on my car as sort of an homage to the Brock Racing Enterprises Z & as a way to rep my team.

I agree that the lines
in the hood would hinder
the look. I like to have a
wide stripe. I think thin
stripes don't look as good.

Here is something quick
in Photoshop.

That's very cool. +1 rep to you, sir!

Reminds me of a Viper with the blue and white. Not a bad thing...but this is a Z! Do thin lines matching the shape of the hood and roof....but not white

I think if you didn't do the FAT Center strip then you would avoid being the muscle car-ish type. Maybe 2 thin strips that curve with the hood and roof contours?

Maybe someone could get a good pic of a Black or Blue Z from the front or back, then photoshop the thin strips on there? Worth seening anyway before we dog it.
Yeah Please post pics when your done
