Post racing stripes, pic inside.....

I am still working out a budget for spring 2001 and I was wondering what you guys/gals think about stripes on a fox body.

Here is the ONLY pic that I have:


If you have any pics, or have stripes on your car let me know. I will have them professionally painted on. What type of paint?

Since my car is black, I will be using a dark gray for the color. The stripes will be the same thickness as the ones in the picture above.

One question, I was wondering if I should go over the wing and not under, or under the wing and not over, or both over and under???? Opinions here would be appreciated!

Ian

Hey,
I have an 89gt that is a light grey with blue racing stripes. It definitely draws looks and the grey color never gets dirty. My stripes are slightly thinner than the ones u have pictured and go on top and bottom of the wing and down the hatchback. I have a pic that i can email to you.

Hmm... the only color of racing stripes i've ever seen on a black car was red and I didn't really like it too much... I would go over the wing and not under
