My Stripey, Mazdaspeed 8

Howdy y'all.

I've finally got some pictures of my '8 with it's MS kit and stripes. I know most people hate them, but I don't! The car looked wrong to me when it was stripeless.

... and before someone says it, I'm fully aware I'm not driving a Mustang.

I really like the stripe on the front. But i think the rear looks strange with it.

If you're into stripes, you should try a better colour to match the car. Somthing closer to the Tit. grey. Black or Dark grey maybe???

It takes guts to go against popular opinion.......and you did just that, and spent money to boot. I personally like it. I dont think I'll do that mod myself.....but its refreshing to see someone do something a little different other then the safe mods like "clear corners" or "painted calipers". You took a gamble, and win or lose, you get my praise.........

I like that he took the gamble and actually spent some time thinking about it. Most would have just gone with a single stripe, or a single color. The outline looks nice, and it's interesting how it wraps all the way 'round the wing.

Whoever installed it did a nice job. I can see that job being a lot worse if the person intalling it didn't have a steady hand.

I think it doesn't look bad at all... although I agree... black would have been better. Nice job on doing something different.

nice! I think it would have looked better with two seperate racing strips. That's how i have mine built (exactly like yours, but with 2 strips) in need for speed most wanted.

It makes my eyes draw to the stripes and not the car itself. I like to see the car when I look at it............Kinda distracting to me.

They did a good job though.

Looks good man. Like the spoiler too. Don't let anybody with a bad attitude tell you differently. It takes ***** to post pictures and leave them subject to others opinion. And insulting someone with some lame post is easy and cowardly. Hey Mugato why don't you have any pictures posted in your garage or anywhere else. You afraid of others opions? How ironic. Nice pictures my striped amigo.
