Question Should I DE - stripe my car?

I have been thinking about this for awhile now. i was wanting to know what everyone else thought about it. i got racing stripes all the way back on my car now. I was thinking of taking them off and adding some blackbird stripes to tone the white down a bit on my car. so what does everyone think?



i am going to loose the windshield banner too when its get out of the shop.

personally I've never cared for solid colored ram air stripes on t/a's

so i'd prefer the blackbirds over the current set

Agreed! Loose the windsheild banner and the decals on the sail panel and it will clean up the car!

Wheels are fine. Do the blackbird stripes. I think that would look a lot smoother. Take off the decal and it'll really clean up the car a Lot.

Purchased my stripes from them and know quite a few others personally that used there vinals as well. They have great stuff and usually te cheapest price. Shipping is quick as well. Or atleast with me they were. Those stripes your ordering should take no time. Get a squirt bottle and put about a teaspoon or so of soap in the bottle and fill it up with water and squirt down the area on the hood. It shouldn't take much bc the vinal is so small. Hope everything works out well man. Can't wait to see the results.
