Racing stripes
 

Has anyone tried having stripes on their 8? I'm considering trying red stripes on a black 8. Something sort of like this Black mustang. What are your thoughts on it?

mod edit. Don't post stuff like this on the boards. Come on!

do it.... and die. :tank:

oh, wow...it seems i'm the only one who actually thinks it'll look cool...

Here's a link to some pics with stripes. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...racing+stripes
I think I did that right lol....^

Anyway, there was this guy who had a winning blue with white stripes; it looked pretty good. Although, I couldn't find the thread.

lol everyone hates racing stripes that much huh. I've always liked the racing stripes on the lotus elises and exiges. I understand that those are lotuses and we're talking about an rx8, but I dont get why it would look so bad on the 8. But i guess everyone has their own opinion on it lol.

if i were to do it, i'd opt for a single stripe down the center, or something, more european than american, since the twin stripe thingy belongs on vipers n mustangs

Some people fill in the triangle in the hood, over the roof and down the back. I don't care for it though. Maybe get someone who is good at photoshop to play around with options.

I HIGHLY recommend getting/borrowing an Xbox 360 and a copy of Forza 2. In that game you can custom paint anything you want on a Mazdaspeed RX-8 and look at it from any angle. Way easier to get right at any angle than Photoshop, and you can try a million combinations of stripes if you like.

100% correct

His link to the photoalbum of it is dead though :'(

Just showing stripes aren't necessarily stupid...

Wow that looks really nice on that white 8. Do you know if its painted or if its a vinyl? Anyone wanna do a photoshop of it in black with red stripes? lol

so my friend tried to photoshop the pics above and this is how it turned out:

lol i guess he kinda accidently made it matte black but u get the picture.

souljamcdiddy i'm with alz0rz, pls remove those image.. too much to post it here :spank:

now that i see the blue stripes on the white car, it actually looks pretty sick. I thought it'd look dumb as hell but now that I see it, I like it. No reason for those nasty pictures either. :puke:

satin black looks badass

thanx man i started to hate posting on my own thread cause of those pics! haha

IMO ...racing stripes and japanese sport cars don't go well together. I'd leave RS for american muscle cars. :)

i mean i am not a fan of racing stripes but it mite look good. tell us when you get it done ,good luck

Was looking around ebay and saw this

Link to auction for more pics.

racing stripes are for American muscle IMO

So I was driving home on my way from work this afternoon in the Pensacola, Florida area... and I saw a VR 8 with white racing stripes about 10 inches wide with a 2-3 inch space up the center...


It was the most god awful hideous thing I have ever seen. I wanted to gouge my eyes out.
