Dear god no!!!!!!!!!! Those look TERRIBLE

Racing stripes always look bad IMO but yours aren't even on right. They are way too far apart.

The stripes need to be close to each other like these. These are sexy.

Before I got my cobalt I didnt like racing stripes, now I do, assuming they are done right. I do believe that yours are too far apart. Either side of the bowties would be cool. Also i think that you shouldnt go the whole way down the back unless you do the same up front. Personally I like the front where you terminate at the hood, the back should terminate at the trunk. Or go the whole way down on both side like the other guy that posted earlier. Here is how mine terminate at the trunk and hood

Racing stripes done correctly are HOTT IMO! Yours NEED to be closer, and maybe outlined in pin stripe like the old Chevelles stripes used to be.

Just make em closer like the ones in the pics and they'll be awesome!

Good luck!

yeah they are sweet, but because their black, i would get the whites. the idea behind the one strip is that everybody is doing the 2 strips. just dont see the 1 strips anymore. i want to say theres a cobalt in the grand am racing that has the 1 strip-white cobalt with 1 blue strip. i ll have to see if i have a picture!

In my opinion there are only two cars in this world worthy of racing stripes. A Dodge Viper and a Shelby Cobra.
