look what i did well i justgot the ones for a 4th gen just to test the water since im going to paint the car ill paint them one if i like them tell me what you all think
i dont know if i would go all the way back but i do think i would go a little thinner in the tail end of it. it is taking me a little to get used to but i think over all i think it looks pretty good thanks for the comments

yea thats what i was thinking to tapper it down to real thin at the back
I like the idea of Hockey Stripes, but not the way that curve doesn't match the angle of the nose. Just kinda makes it obvious it wasn't made for THAT car.
Do it with an angled front not the curve, or at least the stick going more forward not STRAIGHT down, and I think I'd like it better.
I agree with stephen, i like the look, and by what you said they served the purpose of seeing how they looked. If you match them to the flow of the front better and taper them back further i think they would look awesome. Those look good but us guys on TGO like to butcher cars and nitpick. There is a guy on here with a yellow Z with black hockey stripes, not sure whose car but his car looks damn good. i think his are painted on also.
on a side note, i love the color of your car, is that stock medium blue metallic or whatever its called?
I like the idea that a couple people had with running the stripe with the body line up to the front. That would match the "rake" of the third gen... Try that and post a pic

I like how they look, but only with the right colors, wheels, and stance. The only other car i've seen it from THIRD GEN 92. And I agree with the last couple posts. The stripe needs to go more with the shape of the frontend.

Yes, actually I was thinking of Sinister's also but when I went and searched for the black car I posted, it made me forget to mention Sinister's also. Someone did in a previous post anyway.

yes i think you right about the whole color and rims as well i.when i paint them on i will angle the front more like i said for a trial of 70 bucks was way better then a few hundred thats guy. what do you think of my combo does it go with it
btw i think when i paint the hood this weekend that would help too
Pretty clear view of it at 0:39......If the headlight buckets weren't black & the stripe continued all the way across, that would look good, IMO. But the way it starts at the buckets, goes up, back, down, then back again....
Sorry, but half the cars in that video look tacky. Like the 4th gen with the white back window, stripes on the window & the Bowtie on it..... uke:
Here is a horrible attempt at moving the stipe forward and having it angle more to the lines of the car. Probably could have done a better job, or even angle it even better than that but I don't have the time. Also, at the bottom by the chin...just have it regular size instead of start off so thick. Also, don't worry about the door and part of the fender...that you already know what it's going to look like. Didn't feel like trying to fix it.
hey i do like that photoshop im painting my hood this weekend i think that would help out alot too i think i would ancle the front more instead and in the middle between the side marker and the front of the clip but thanksguys and the yellow one with the front and across i think thats too much but hey what makes you happy. i wanted something different just cause everyone has strips down the middle dont get me wrong i love them but hey just tring to stand out with all these other perfect and beautiful TGs out there. thanks you guys for your comments good or bad thats why i love this board so much you guys tell the truth
oh yea his are painted on arent they. thats what i want is to paint his i think his stripes are perfect i may change it a little different than his so i dont steal them from him
well thank you it took me about an hour and i have never messed with vinyl before.
see LVCFD on your car, take it your on the fire dept there??
im a local fire fighter to
anyway
just seeing that Yenko makes me wonder if anyone has ever done a yenko 3rd gen, thats always a cool looking stripe package

if that was a finalized design i believe it would look great.
Here is one that was done that I saw at a show earlier this year.
I don't like how that looks. I think it would have looked better if the stripes were black.
Did you take a picture of that silver car with blue wheels?

If you can, post up the other 3rdgens you've spotted at your shows in one of your cars and babes threads. I'd like to see that bird and how they pulled off those blue wheels(I don't see how from the pic).
i do agree it looks naked thats what i told the wife i just painted it last week so i need to buff it out and then ill start looking for something on the hood just dont know what yet but if you guys have any ideas that would be great
Man I knew I has seen this car before....I took pics of your car here in Vegas. I am here TDY and saw it on base parked last week. I tried to find out whom owned it but no one knew. I like the stripes looks good. Wish I wasn't leavint tomarrow to head back to Ga.
