Default What color racing stripes?
I have the 02 WS6, right now it has vinyl stickers on it but there is no clear coat over then so it has dirt spots on them that wont come out so I am going to the body shop tomorrow and I am going to have some painted on and clear coat over. I have a white WS6 and I am thinkin about going with metallic orange. I have never seen a TA like that before and I think it would look sweet. Any ideas on what the coolest lookin orange would be? Is there a candy apple orange?

Can you clear coat over the vinyl stripes? I was thinking about having some strips painted on but I got 2 quotes today and they were both $1200-$1500 and that was with me taking off the stickers that are on it now adn taking off the spoiler.

I know the camaro has the hugger and thats why I want a different color orange. That tangerine candy looks sweet. I am thinkin about getting some vinyl ones made instead of getting them painted on. The cost just sounds so much better with doing the vinyls again. Here is my car now.

dude....if you have a white WS6, the only logical color for stripes is metallic blue...who wouldn't want a hint of 30th anniv. on their ride? Leave the white with orange stripes to the SS guys. Just my .02
