Lose the stripes?
Monday, April 20, 2009 3:34 PM
I've really been contemplating lately on ditching the stripes on my car.. What do you guys think? They have really grown on me over the years, and really make the car stand out. I think it would really make the car look a lot cleaner without them though.

In doing this..I would probably paint the wheels black also and go for a red/black/carbon fiber theme..

I really don't like that lip paint at all, it just ruins the cleanliness. And, as much as I normally dislike stripes, I like them on your car, especially since they're rare among j's. I understand you got to mix it up every now and then, but I say keep it as is!

I say leave the stripes but get them extended to the ends of the bumpers. Also leave the wheels the way they are!

I think the silver stripes on red is hot looking.

The lip paint makes it look like a monte carlo wanna be IMO

lol such mixed votes..that's how it is in my head..I'm in a personal battle..lolol..

Mark- Sorry got rid of my LS wheels for these.

02 redbadged - That had crossed my mind a while back..but without doing c/f vinyl(tacky) not sure how i'd pull that one off..

One idea I did have was two-toning it..spray the hood, trunk, and roof black, leaving the stripes on as a mask then pulling them off, to reveal the red stripes.
