Oh...my...gawd... That was friggin bad. Tom, do you just look for stuff like that or what?

Anyway, I'd say go with a traditional RS striping, which I'm pretty sure is just the hood, correct me if I'm wrong. Stripes have always been a way to tell the brand from a distance, so I'd say stick to the original the way GM does it.

Tom..... whew.... I don't even know where to start on that one... (or even whether I should)... It did make my day though. I was having a bad day at work, but after seeing that, I can realize that I actually put my hard earned cash into something worthwhile, and not a Honda....

Anyway, back to the topic, I'd go with the stripes over the top... I think you should make it into a fake 25th anniv. car. You know, white everything, then the two Hugger Orange stripes (I love that color... especially on white)... Well, maybe not... but the orange stripes should be considered....

Heh; a guy at work passed it to me... what a dream ride! What I find funny is how nobody bid on it- but he has over 120,000 "views" of the page! Apparently everyone's checking it out.

As for that Camaro, hell yeah. For the Honda, just lemme go laugh for about an hour. For an answer to the original ? I'd go for either Hugger Orange strips on the hood or a dark blue.

How about one stripe offset to the drivers side length of the whole car.

Something tells me he figured out what to do with the stripes in the 17 years since this thread was last commented in. Bit late to the party bud!
