Good question, I wondered the same thing. I've seen some look great and some that just shoulnt have done it. A lot depends on the hood, color and style of the car.

In my opinion Only!!! I Do like the stripes on the maroon GP. Normally, I don't like racing stripes on a GP.
I dont like maroon or racing stripes on a GP, but there is something about that one I really like!! It's one of my favorite GP's on here.

Ive seen it in person and it is a sharp looking car. Thats the only car I've seen done like that. The stripes in the scoops really sets it off. Good example of what I mean. certain cars certain colors look incredible.

Wish I had some better pictures of my old GTP before I sold it but here is one of my stripes.

All nice looking cars! Normally not a big one for most racing stripes (I love hash marks though). White one is done very clean. Redfire GP is beautiful and I love the paint scheme. Red one reminds me of Trans Am stripes (anniversary ones maybe?)

(benzilla19) How much did those strips cost?

Good thread,
I was just wondering about adding
stripes to my ride also and was play around
in photo shop to see what i want to do..

I did the stripes myself, I have a family friend that owns a business and they have a vinyl cutting machine, I just bought metallic silver material and cut them, probably cost me around 40 bucks but it was a few years ago. I will say they were a pain to put on as I was anal to be sure they were as straight as I could make them, the worst part of the car was the back.. ended up just doing sections as I could not get the stripes to go over the spoiler or mold to the back of the trunk. here is a picture of the back.
