I would do this myself, but the angles will be way off lol.
I may pull the stripes off the sides soon since they are peeling at the back edges and I've always wanted the two stripes down the length of the car, despite how much some of you hate those things.
I just want to see how it would look though.
edit: Two black stripes*

Please have the stripes extending all the way down the grill like this -> http://wallpapers.free-review.net/wallpapers/17/Dodge_Viper_GTS.jpg
Please and Thanks!

If I did black stripes on your car, I would remove the visteon scoop

Ya, I think the stripes would go over top of it and look... akward.
Whoever makes the pic, can you do one with the scoop there, and if possible, try and remove the scoop for another version of the picture.
Thanks.

I actually thought about stripes on my ZN but with my automotive a.d.d., never got myself to do it. Couldn't decide on full, wide, off center, flat black, gloss black, white. Maybe these will give you some ideas...

Wow thanks a lot man, Great job!
(How did you do it? And how did you remove the side vinyl?)
I see in the first image, with the pictures, the last one, you changed the read bumper grill to black (i was trying to do that, came out horrible lol, how did you do it?), any way you can do it for the front bumper grill too (I tried that too, came out just completely black and couldn't tell there was anything there)? I think if they were black, it would look better (Like his, http://www.newcougar.org/forums/videos-pictures/127556-unveiling-56k-go-play-traffic.html ).
Which do you think looks best? I like them all lol, I like the black stripes more though, just because of the black accents on the car. Those white stripes look great still.

I like the white stripes and the stripes on the right side.

out of those, I kinda like the off center stripe, but I don't think you should do stripes at all. The car just doesn't need them. :)

Have you considered something across the side? Like between the two body lines that extend the whole way across the car. I was thinking of doing something with that, but never really toyed around with it too much.

What I have now is somewhat like that...

But on the left side, its kind of peeling (been on there since previous owner). We might get them taken off and get the person to duplicate the shape of the decal and get the same kind put back on because I think it flows really well.
Teebs, dont you have flames going across your car?

I think on your car, black along the side inbetween those two lines with a cougar head cutout towards the rear.

I would leave it, the car looks great :)
I never understood this desire to plaster the cougar head logo everywhere on the car, inside and out.

I wasn't going to make the comparison, but... yeah, sort of. :tongue: But at least people aren't putting the MERCURY logo all over the place. :rofl:

Theres a differeance between plastering it on you rear windsheild, front windshield, sides, etc... And tastefully placing one here or there. A small logo inside a stripe across the side of the car is hardly "ricey".
