Default Single center racing stripe. Need help

Well i have tossing around the idea of puting some sort of racing stripes on my car and i came across this car. Which i think looks really good. Anyone know where i can get one of these? or do you all not like how this looks? Any other ones that i should consider? Thanks guys

i think it looks ok, but would be better if it ended just before the grille more like this

Post #2 sums it up....

This is basically the same stripe some do on their sunoco hoods, except on a stock hood, and it it definitely doesn't look bad! Might as well stand out from the croud....I say go for it!

ya i have to agree with you guys it looks better when it ends right before the grill, and not at the end of the hood. And thanks for the photoshop 02gtp4now.

Soulpower did you get yours painted or was that a vinyl kit?

thats a pretty good look, i've been kicking that idea around for a while myself. Starting the stripe just before the grill does look a lot better

what instantly popped into my head was whatever model neon that came with one strip down the drivers side...... it looks fine and all, but not a camaro

why not go with a proven combo, 35th stripe, hockey stripes, dual racing stripe.

this is all my opinion of course. i kinda get the idea you are gonna catch more flak about this.

i had it painted. at that time i was thinking about going to a local store that specialize in vinyl stickers but i also wanted my spoiler to be wrapped around so i end up having it painted.
