Default some new decals on the V

some might like it, others wont im sure. either way i respect the opinions.

here she is, the front banner says "Currency Syndicate Records" my independent record label, and i added GS racing stripes. i did them by hand.

i am also strongly thinking a cowl hood, corvette rear wing, wider flairs and some beefier meats out back.

anyways:

and for those who say i dont need a wing, well i hit .93+ g's on the meter on my daily drive to work. a great cloverleaf that they just added. how nice! the construction guys all know about the time i run through, so they line up on the wall to watch me pass all the cars on the outside. i love this car! (almost as much as my 03 cobra)

more pics to come when i wash her.

You still don't need a wing. These cars are capable of much much higher than that without any mods.

higher then .93? damn.

on a side note i also installed a new amp/sub over the last week. I will get specs/pics up later.

i am also going to do the whole "murdered out" look and paint the inside of the rims a matching red to match as well as the brake calipers. i am also going get the amber off the turn lights, as well as a few other exterior mods.

as for the motor, she is getting a cam and accompanying mods. gotta love tax time! it already has a muffler delete, through 4" tips. i might start mocking up a turbo system, now that i have my own garage i can take my time and build most of it myself. i really want my V to be faster then my 03 cobra. well see how that runs out.

would have gone with another color stripe but as long as you like it. plus youll find that making the V faster then an 03 cobra will be much harder and more expensive then you think.

my cobra is pullied/tuned and alot of other crap, and i had quite a race with a gxp, im thinking small turbo with H/C/I some meth and a few other little things and i will accomplish my goal. hopefully i make some money through some albums i am producing so i have that on the table. if i do i do, if i dont i dont. just a bench mark.

Aren't those stripes just supposed to be on a single side?

I think they are, but to me it looks lop sided...plus you can share the love on both sides now.

To be honest to the OP, i had thought of red CS stripes before, but now i think they may be too bright for my tastes. Glad you stepped up and tried it.
I too have a black V and may try some flat black CS stripes.

I put 1.0X on the meter taking a right hand turn off the interstate...no wing and no suspension mods


I do like the stripes. I wonder what regular racing stripes would look like.

Someone's done it. Let me see if I can find a pic. It was a black V or fake V (can't remember which) with silver stripes. YUCK!

Cool pix. I like it when guys show us what they have done cosmetically to their cars and are willing to try something new. It's not bad at all.
