Racing Stripes

What color racing stripes on a white car, if any? I was thinking Candy Apple Red, what do you think?

Oops, I posted under my dad's user name.. oh well

Yeah, a nice deep candy red would look pretty smooth/
Racy and stylish.

Of course, when I build my A-Sedan, it's going to be white with Day-Glo orange stripes. Wheeeee!

From looking at your pic, I'd say black would look the best. It would really match everything else. The only red thing on your car is your taillights. I think you should get black stripes and tail light black outs. Glossy black would look great with your bright white paint. Just my opinion though. I just hate it when people add things to their cars simply for reason of looking different. If it's defferent, it better look good.

I have to agree with the idea of the black stripes. I have black on my blue Z28 and I think they would look great on white.

I vote for either black or hugger orange. But don't go with full-body stripes, those look really bad 98% of the time.

Car: too many ...
well what color is your interior? I would think you would pick something to compliment you interior. For example, my camaro is maroon red with the black/grey interior. Since I only like 2 colors at a time I had two choices ... either leave the interior and repaint the car black with grey racing stripes (or vice versa) or just put black racing stripes on the maroon paint and change my interior to all black. Right now I'm favoring the later for my car. If you had an all black interior, then really any color racing stripes will match, just go with your favorite color.

Hay I've got the same car, right done the the white painted wheels. Here is what i did, Red stripes with black outline on top, and iroc stripes on bottom. If you look at the spolier the end of the stripes are rounded unlike stright down like stock. All stripping work is done with viny and cost about $500. It cost more because they accually had to make 2 sets of stripes, one in black and one in red. Then use the main part of the red, and outline from the black. It does make a big differance though. lI also added a z28 grill with lights, tail light covers, red and black plate frames, a solor wing, painted red brakes, and tinted windows. I'm going to paint the inverted front head lights black and putting in clear front signial covers this summer.

Actually, I second Mac's idea. I think a very dark purple would be a decent color for a set of stripes.

Hey, it's different... I like purple if it's done right.

Sorry i dont have any pictures of the interior, but the Ps2 is located in the little hatch area in the back, i built a custom enclosure for it to slide in and out of so i could take it inside to protect it from the elements, and i wired the controllers up through the center of the car and drilled holes in the console and they sit in there, so you just open up the console and pop em out and start playin.
