Im just wondering if any of you guys put on somes stripes yet? If so pics would be great. And how did you like the finished product. Im thinking white, satin silver or the darker silver like the stock 5 spoke bullit wheels would be sweet, but i am undecided. thanks for your input.

I've debated the same thing........I haven't committed yet, but was sold on white. That is, until I saw some other cars that had white. They look great, but I want something more uncommon. Silver is a great option, but I'm leaning more towards black. My opinion is that black will give it that mean look, and not stand out quite so much as the white or even silver.

Again, that's just my opinion. Silver, white, or black will all look good, it just comes down to your own personal preference.

Good luck,

I was going to go with white stripes b/c imo they look amazing on our sonic or vista blue cars. I don't think I am going to do stripes anymore though since I plan on getting a supercharger this summer sometime so I have to save up the money . Also, if you can afford it go with painted stripes. They are worth every cent extra that they cost over the vinyl stripes imo.

there are so many colors. I even contemplated gold on mine. I also like the super wide california style painted on with the Windveil blue metallic clearcoat.

Black is an interesting color Tom I thought about it but wasn't sure. Your right about making look mean. I would like to see every color in person first, it would make the decision alot easier. I think in the end any color combo is going to look awesome because our cars are made for stripes. compared to the 04's. thanks again guys.

That's what I said way back when I was still waiting for delivery. Hunted this car's owner down, found out the color, price and shop. I think it came out pretty sharp for vinyl. I'll eventually get them painted on after new hood/bumpers.

Car looks great, however my other arguement for paint instead of vinyl is that I want wider stripes; like 12" or 13" wide like the 3d Carbon car. I just prefer the wider stripes, my opinion. I haven't seen a vinyl kit that wide.

The shop I went to had the ability to fab it's own custom vinyl sheets. They do trailers/motor homes/cop cars/ect. I saw numerous vinyl sections that were 3-4ft wide. Heck they had one of those Scion XB's 100% wrapped in custom vinyl.

I'd base the choice on looks, cost, future parts purchases.
