Default Blackbird Stripe Mod

with much thought, i decided to take off my blackbird stripes, . i want a dark sinister look and the silver metallic stripes stuck out like a sore thumb, and sometimes it looked white . . . i will go with a dark charcoal stripe and this is what i plan on doin, . . while i removed the vinyl i realized it looked better (to me) with one single pinstripe, . . take a look for yourselves . . i think when i get the charcoal stripes in i will to the single pinstripe on the top, . . anyways here is what they would look like:















yea, i know the pics sux, i only had a camera phone with me at the time

One pinstripe on top looks pretty good, unique too. I love my stripes The charcoal metallic is awesome. I had a silver Ram Air sticker put on there and it looks great.

only problem I have with putting a HP rating is what happens when your car makes more then 345? Are you going to buy another stripe set? Or are you going to get the car to like 400hp, then everyone else will think you only have 345, thats when you destroy them...

no, i ordered the blackbird stripes with no cut outs, no ram air cut out or the 345 hp rating cut out, . . i asked for a separate set of 345 HP decals in black and placed them on top of the stripes, . . if i ever move up, (soon) jus take em off and buy a new set, . . . nobody else has an opinion on the single pinstripe mod??

It's yours that counts Looks great and its different. When you have done an appearance mod that looks great but is also different, you know you have done a very good job.
