Photoshop help needed!

I need some help with photoshop. I was wondering what an RX-8 would look like with Rally stripes. I really liked them on Silver Miatas and was just wondering. SOOOOO if anyone would like to throw out a pic or two (titanium with black would be preffered) it would be appreciated.

In other news, the shop called and my Volk wheels made it in from Japan, and will be coming to me in Germany ASAP! Pictures will be on the way soon!!

Are you talking about RACING STRIPES or RALLY DECALS?

I know some people do it with decals, but paint is better. Either way, the more I thoght about it, I don't think they would flow with the lines of the car very well, Especially with the rotary shape in the hood.

If I have time I will try to Photoshop one. We do have a yellow with black stripes at Mazda South so I will snap some digital photos of it today or tomorrow just for fun.

I agree Mike,

like I said before, the more I think about it, the more I don't think the stripes would go with the lines of the car.

From the back it looks not too bad IMO, I'm looking forward to seeing the front. Thanks for the post

I didn't see the yellow with black stripes today but they were replacing the oil pan on some of them so it may have been in service. I will check when I take back the RX-8 that I am driving today.
