Default Racing stripes???

I want rally stripes but, I don't know if it should be painted by a shop or should I just get a vinyl kit and will it look good on Black Sand Pearl?

Also, can someone post a pic or a photoshopped pic of a BSP tC with rally racing stripes like the one from the Ford GT?

Thanks!

I was just playing wit 'chu.

I think pin stripes would look better. I think big thick stripes on our tC might look out of place with the clean lines. Hard to tell without seeing pics. Hopefully someone will post pics. Lastly, stripes ain't that bad if done tastefully.

If you want it done right, then have them painted on with fresh clear over the whole car.

But IMO, unless it is a late 60s Camaro or GTO, then the stripes are just... well.... out of place :p

As mentioned above, don't really see a place for racing stripes on a tC. They are silly imo.

Oh Darn! I forgot my tC has a glass roof! (I only opened it when I bought the car 4 months ago...)

Can someone here please photoshop a tC with ford GT like racing stripes?

I want to put something on my tC because people think I'm driving a new Lexus IS Coupe... (the tC is not a Sr. car!!!)

Agreed.

Think "less is more," and try working with the lines already present on the body.
