Nice Stripes!!

I saw this one on epay, Looks like a pretty decent car except the a/c is hacked up but they got a little carried away with those stripes!

They are called racing stripes so I guess the owner of this car wanted it to go really, really fast!😀

I see the normal stripes down the sides and the "added" black across the back. Is that what you're talking about? I think it looks good like that.
BTW, "racing stripes" are the ones typically found on the hood and trunk which sometimes are also on the roof and sometimes not.

I think he should have run the rear stripe high enough to encompass the 442 emblem completely. I like it though.

it kinda evokes a 68 H\O flavor w the silver and black...i dont mind the back stripe but but i do favor the more traditional side stripes. still it looks good

I guess although tasteful, this is one of those time where personalization only comes into play when its time to sell.
