Default Purple stripes on a silver Z????

Ok, I was thinking of purple stripes on my 2002 Sebring Silver Z, what do you think? If you have ever seen Nick Scavos S/S '69 Camaro with this combo, you would know how awesome of a combo that this is....let me have your honest opinions, please....thanks, Shawn

Let me know if you had something else in mind Shawn.

BTW, Drew let me know if you don't want me to use your car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I was thinking more of the wide rally sport stripes that start on the hood, like the ones RK Sport sells although not sure how the car will look with them, maybe the purple thing isnt such a good idea, aybe black or none would be better.....I just have a thing for Nick Scavos '69, and since mine can't be as fast......

I really don't think it would look bad at all. Just keep it dark! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

If you've going to to the stripes, I think black would look the best IMO.

I don't think the stripes look too bad at all on the car, it's just they don't go to well with a stock hood

in all honesty, purple is a color that should stay off of camaros and bounce on to the civics. american cars are made to have a nice stealthy look to it... not a loud color fest on them.

Ive seen this same color combo on a viper. It looked amazing. On a computer it doesnt sound or look like it would look very good. It does though, I can't remember the color purple he used, it was a translucent color. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I've seen Nick Scavo's car a number of times it does look good.

I think it can work.

I think if done right that the stripes will look wicked. Nicks car is extreamly nice looking imo.

might be even better looking if you used a ss hood and had the stripes done like a ss. I personally think that would be tops. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
