How about for the new color, Sport Red. What color stripes would you guys suggest for it.

 

I personally love tastefully done stripes.... then again, I'd hate the attention!

IMO....stripes=cop magnet

 

I agree fully,thats why my stripes have to come off!

 

dude.... your stripes look great !!! why take them off, since they are already on?

 

Thanks. The scoop is real, positioned over the GMPP intake. The position of the scoop dictated the stripe - I wanted it to run just outside of the scoop (I didn't want the scoop straddling the stripe). Otherwise it would have been narrower. So it's somewhat a form/function issue. The guy that did it is truely an artist in vinyl (follow the links in my sig to see the work as it progressed).

I believe you said you have a red accent stripe in yours? It doesn't show in the pics - I'd love to see that up close.

 

I read your thread and the time effort is amazing.

i will have to get a closer pic of the stripes to see the read...might have to wait until i can clean because my car is white now :{

saltbalt ftw

 

How about SIDE STRIPES? Anybody have any that run along the sides at the bottom? I've never seen any pics of that.

 

do it, should look good!

 

i still want a photoshop of it to make up my mind.

 

i def like the black stripe on red. I was thinking about getting a red stripe on my black balt but know i might just paint the car red and get a black stripe lol

 

I didnt ask about side stripes. im talking about racing stripes

 

Just throwing my Pics up to see

Racing stripes will make your car your own not just a copy of someone elses go for it.

 

your car looks badass. i would do the racing stripes all the way down the front and rear bumper. red on silver looks kick ass!!!!

 

well a mustang and a cobalt are two TOTALLY different body styles. i think im just gonna get it done when i get some money. ill post pics when its done. thanks for everyones help.

 

I decided not to it's more of a ford thing to do that Like the mustangs and i felt it would cut my car in half and give me a balance i wasn't looking for. I wanted the stripes to feel like they have a beginning and end. Yes the color combo is very uniqe and most people go to a different color with a silver car . Deff happy how it turned out.

Good luck we'll look forward to see what you come up with Guy!!

 

did you actually think its a difference. you were asking about stripes. more specifically the color. i was trying to help and show you the colors. of coarse they are different cars.
and they aren't only for mustangs. they are called lemans stripes for a reason.
you've seen them on camaro, lemans, mustang, dodge trucks, and a variety of other vehicles. so its not a just a mustang thing.
this is the last time and try and give you guys a hand. If your going to be so picky when asking for help, go pay a business to photoshop your stripes on.

 

what do you guys think of a silver stripe down the side - starting about halfway up the wheelwell and all the down the side?

had a stripe on my old car it was a garnet red beretta z26- witha gold stripe looked pretty nice. i kinda wanna do somethin like that with this car but i dont kno how it would look

 

A few members have done this and it looks good,really accents the ridgeline that runs along the side of our cars

 

ide like to see a pic

 

Killian I don't like that idea.But I don't know exactly what it would look like though but it would be interesting to see someone photoshop it on your car to give us a better idea!


Here's a quickie i edited by taking my car and photoshoping the bottom peices on yours.

 

yeah im thinkin about going to a shop around here that does stripes like that- im kinda hoping they can photoshop it for me hopefully there high tech enough tho lol. that'd be pretty sweet to see some pics b4 actually doin the job.

 

I have pin stripes at the upper beltine - the key to these is great application. Mine are straight as an arrow and really look good because of it.

Stripes along the rocker panel will look a bit FORD, but I still like them. I don't think I've seen a Cobalt with them.

 

Wow Awesome Color Combo, Never thought of that!

Here is my bad boy so far!

 

I've been looking at stripes myself. How wide are the stripes you all have on your cars? Also has anyone ordered any vinyl from this site: http://www.edecals.com/index.html

 

Has anyone ever considered doing a stripe across the hood, like some older Camaros have? Not sure how to pull it off, but it'd be different.

Also, I really like that red on silver. Mine's silver - and was trying to think of a good color to go with it, was leaning towards black or blue.. but good job on the red, looks awesome.
