Just had my 1991 RS painted in the UK. This is the raw product, (not assembled yet, and crappy wheels).
I think this is awesome-but I suppose I would since I designed it!!

Go on let me have it!
Andy.

Wow! Gorgeous paint...I've always loved the black w/red stripes combo - I've considered that myself. Great work!

Sorry but i do not think that cars with the stripes going all the way down the front and rear look very good at all.
if they started in between the headligths and ended on the rear decklid just above the taillights then they look good.
Just my opinion.

i think it looks good but to me i think the body looks a little wavy. it might just be the glare of the gloss with the background

I would just do away with the RS grill, doesn't look all that good......

What about some Z28 blisters?

What's new with the air bag installation?

What? The license plate?

I don't like them either, but they're a necessary evil.

Yes, the liscence plate..and no, they arent really necessary. It's a law here in new york to have your front plate..well..i dont like it so it aint on there..simple really. Had it off since i bought the car 3 years ago, only got stopped twice..and the cop was just havin a bad day and wanted to be a *****..no big deal regardless..no points, and a small fine..big deal..just my opinion though. As long as i own and drive my car, there will be no front plate

I see your point, KCobain147, but I'm one of those "by-the book" people. I try to follow every law even when I'm a little put out by them.

Yes, I have a very guilty conscience.

he's in the UK guys - like some US states = mandatory front plates... a bit ugly, but avoiding the hassle would be worth it. (I can say that cause Michigan doesn't require front plates )

Thanks for all the responses guys. All appreciated. Interesting how opinion varies over the stripes!

That front plate is needed unfortunately. I would rather avoid a fine. So that is stopping on.

Underbody neons next. Now, what colour?......!

Andy.
