are raceing stripes too ricey???
 
so at the begining i wanted to make my car match my red interior, i was thinking racing stripes but thought too ricey right.... so i have wanted to do the lower sides of the car with a red stripe with the rx8 logo... kind of inspired by the special edition porsches with the logo on the sides... if anybody knows wut im talking about.. well today i put the red stripes, the logo is yet to come... now was thinking about also one nice wide stripe down the center of the car and two thiner ones on the side of that ... anywayz see what i have so far.. comments should i do the middle stripe or not?? thanx

If YOU like how it looks, do it. It's your car and it should be 'perfect' to you. The only way "new" things become common is when someone says f-it and does what they want to do... everyone else be damned.

i like that stripe on the bottom. not sure about the one on the center of the car. but like the above poster said, its your car. Try photoshopping the extra stripes you want on there before you do it. That way you know for sure if you like them or not.

I think it looks good how it is. not sure about the middle stripe But i agree do what YOU want not what other ppl want

No on the hood stripe. Not crazy about the side ones either (look uneven also) but since u already have them i think you need a thin black stripe outline to go around the inner border along with the RX-8 logo. The solid red just looks a bit out of place to me. Just an opinion dont get offended.

I'd have went for a titanium silver or dark silver on the aero kit pieces and left that stripe out.

To answer the topic, IMO on an RX8, yes.

do what you want. if you use vinyl, you can always take it off if you dont like it.

go for it.

looks pretty cool, kinda reminds me of the old-school batmobile :) just need the rocket booster! j/k seriously though it's all about each of us showing our own personality with our cars, so go for it!

rafaga 06-30-2008 11:38 PM

I say it would look cool. Go for it if you think so too.

Looks differant.

I know what you are talking about.
I personally like the old GT3 RS 2.7 better, the white and red.
I would do it exactly like the GT3 RS, except with RX-8 on it. :)

i think the difference is that is a 125,000 car and it goes fast enough that you could put anything on it and nobody would say shit. like those orange rims. go ahead and put bright ass orange rims on your 8. itll look like ass most likely

It all depends. I like the white and blue one but some of them just looks out of place...

dothackRAVE 07-01-2008 12:26 AM

I hate those. But thats just me. It makes the Rx-8 like a "R"ustang wanna be.

CyberPitz 07-01-2008 02:43 PM

I, personally, don't think racing stripes looks good on ANY car. Then again, my opinion. Do what you want.
