Default Need some advice.

What does everyone think of the "hash marks" over the front fenders? I saw it on a few cars like mine and looked good but not sure if its something I should do. Also what color should I do the rear berger Satin or flat? The color is a dark green if you can't tell in the pic.

you should always do what YOU like. being that you thought they looked good on similar cars, i say go for it.

satin black. flat=dry



I've seen several cars i felt looked pretty good with the fender stripes, as well as cars that didn't look so good with them. it really depends on the overall look of the car.

Some cars look good with them some don't do what you think looks good like crimson said. That being said I was going to put them on my car but after seeing a civic, mustang and neon with them all in the same week I decided not to.

The stripes can look good if done tastefully and by that I mean they flow well with the car. I can say that if you threw white ones on there ... it would definately not be in my preference of look. Just something that will match the color scheme but do what you like. What color were you looking at gettting? Im stuck in the middle on the beger color ... I like both colors but the flat might make it look a little dull. Satin is always a win.

i had em on mine and got tired of em after a month BUT thats me you may like em you may not. the best thing to do is get vinyl and put that on there that way it would be easier to take off if there not you but thats my two cents though lol

the hash marks would be black and ya I figured I'd prob get them like that to take off like you said if i dont like them. And I'm liking the satin myself too.
