    Okay, here's my dilemma...
    I want to stripe my car, but since the '04+ hasn't been done...
    It's hard to wrap my head around a size of stripes and spacing.
    Also, how far down the back do I go?
    Blackwood (GPONA.Com) has very generously PS'd the strips on the car for a front view.





    Here's the pictures I was looking to get views of the stripes,
    Check out the rear so you can give an informed opinion.
    Thanks:

    I think silver or white would work, thick stripes in red would be alot'a red...
    After I figure this out, I have to see if I can get it done in Vinyl or if I'm going to have them painted on...

    I'm looking for constructive posts, but flaming would be fine as well...
    If you like it, Like it but think there's a better way, or Hate it... Speak your mind!

    Thanks!

    I think I'm liking it, but I'd really like to see how they'd look if they start at the very front edge of the hood and are as wide as the upper part of the grills.
    This one has a V8.
    Why not just make a V6 faster?

    I think the stripes in the first pic look awsome. As far as where to stop on the rear, I would say right above the reverse lights. You'd be able to have them around the wing also.

    I would say stripe but I think they would look good if they are like the 2nd picture but a little wider. The ones in the first picture looks like they are unfinished when they just stop at the edge of the hood.

    DO IT DO IT DO IT However choose a good company. I ordered a set for my GP back in November from AutoGraFics Decals and they sent me the wrong color 2 times and I'm still trying to get in touch with them. They have awesome wide rally stripes up to 13.5" wide. I have them both on my 99 TransAm and 81 GMC. The owner Chuck does not reaply to emails and has no contact number. I just want to make sure you dont use this company its been a complete PITA.

    I couldn't have said it better myself.

    Edit: Actually you should paint the front Air Dam the same color as the strips, maybe even the grills to make it match more. It's up to you in the end tho.
