Default **PICS** grand sport stripes

ive always liked the look of the grand sport stripes on the f-body's. but never had the ***** to sport them until i had a little power under the hood. so i work for a graphics company and decided to make myself a set. only on the drivers side of course. in black reflective. haven't seen them at night from a distance yet but they should light up like a light bulb when headlights hit them. at first when i put them on, i was like ehhh, looks like vinyl on the fender, lol. but the first time when i came out from getting my hair cut yesterday i saw it from a distance and was like damn, iight. then i washed it and saw it from a distance again and i love them now. i think it really set off the look im going for.

I dont see a drop in your sig..have you thought about bringing the body down a lil to close the gap in the wheel well..I know with the 18's and wide tires you probably wont have room to..but just an idea, however it does not look bad at all....and the stripes look great

yes they are Ruff's. not sure the model number.

i always wanted to lower the car, i could have really used it when i had 19"s. but now i messed around and got some horsepower and 3" true duals under there and its probably not the best idea to lower it right now. my next project will be getting my suspension ready to pop wheelies once i get a little juice on her. and some slicks of course.

i was contempating going with silver on the stripes but i just wanted them to be more low key. and i couldn't get ahold of any actual dimensions so i just kinda looked at the c4 gs and eyeballed them in the computer. i think they came out alright.

thanks everyone for all the compliments and comments.
