Good advice. I kind of like the idea of having a vintage style stripe that's off-centered that goes along the hood and trunk.

Get some vinyl wrap and try a few things...it's cheap and easy to install ;)

I like the offset stripe look.

I like the offset racing stripes! Those are cool!

Then finish it off with a racing size/style number. You can get it from any (magnetic) sign company for under $100, I'll bet. On yellow, I'd do black circle with white number.

Surely, there has to be some talented customizer out there who can paint your bumper slats black...

The person that originally did the work, is one of the most highly recognized and awarded custom painters in all of the Northeast. But, even he didn't feel that there's was a viable way to do it. I guess you would just have to see in order to understand the difficulty involved.

JD! Never thought I would hear you think about racing stripes, but lets get it on!

I prefer down the center and in the trunk, but the offset would look pretty cool also.

I did a hood only center stripe on my Z06 with black plastidip (didn't want to do vinyl because I can only cut straight 1/2" at a time : )

pm me your cell and i can send a text pic to you...pls don't ask me to post the pic as I don't have my phone in sync with any of my computers.

Take the picture you posted, and open it on your paint brush program. Draw one on it. You will change your mind- :cheers:

Good advice. Unfortunately, I don't have photoshop capabilities. Can anyone help ?

On kistudios.com, I like the hood stripe on the Ferrari F430 that goes down the sides of the hood badge rather than down the middle.

Danger, what kind of body kit is that on your car? And is the original color yellow or did you paint it?
