I've seen a few pics of 4th gens with the hockey stripe. It looks killer. I'm currently getting a graphics guy to quote me a price on a set for thirdgens, but in CF vinyl print.

I think it needs to be more square of a curve in the front. the really round curve doesn't match the lines on the nose of the car.

heres what i did in like 30 seconds. it might not look bad but it might not look right if you do it to your car. I mean it would deffy be cool for you to do it because it would be original.

If you chose to put one on. These guys can make it for you. My friend got one for his 97 Z and it came out awesome.

that place does have some cool grafics. I just thought of something though, woulnd't the stripes make it really hard to wax the car? or can you just go over them.

i think you should get the stripes, it would make your car sand out more . I think it would look great . As for waxing im pretty sure you can wax over them you just gotta watch out for the residue on the edges of the decals . And i guess you stuck with those rims instead of putting the roh rims on this maro ?

Yeah I think you guys are right about making it more angled or something. I will have to see a few more before I decide. And about the rims, actualy I did sell them and the Rohs are on there now but I don't have the car registered yet and I haven't taken any pic of it with the new rims. I will probably get some pics in the spring and hopefully get the windows tinted by then too. So I am still driving the RS for now.

A Mopar 'Hockey Stick' stripe would look pretty sexy on a 3rdgen too, especially if its one with a Z28 hi-rise spoiler. This stripe might not work well with the 3-peice though.

Check it out!
