Re: Pic's of my car

I know why they look so skinny... the gap is much larger than on the SS... Don't know why since you said you measured and everything, but it's obvious from looking at the pics that they are further apart.

Even had my friend measure them. So its just a optical illusion, I looked at other pics of andy's car and they looked fairly the same.

Car does look nice, I'd like to see some F1 style stripes and maybe some nice rims on the car.

I just don't like the GS stripes because ___________. (sentence not finished by PSJ because it would just pick a fight with folks and he will leave them be even though they are wrong <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ).

Re: Pic's of my car

Like I said PSJ, I like all opinions (good or bad, but prefer good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ).

I'll be sure to post pix of my car when its clean, and after I get my clear corners in (should be here in a few days). As for rims, I want them sooo bad, but have to wait till I have enough funds <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> .

And to fill in the blank for you "I don't have them on my car, yet." Maybe you could get purple ones!

Re: Pic's of my car

Did you measure perpendicular to the stripes, or the gap at the base? This could be why they look
a little off. 5/8 on the diagonal at the base will put them closer together.

Car looks nice, no matter what. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

-brian<hr /></blockquote>hmmm, didn't think of it that way.... I measured them perpendicular, wonder how xsta measured?

But they look much better in person then they do in the pictures (they look more like the ones in xsta's pic).
