lol.. that looks aite. i think it's too high profile. try for something a bit more subtle. like dark gray stripes on black or something

I don't think subtly is available with the OP.

Personally, I prefer subtle, let the car speak for itself, but when you go racing stripes, I don't think subtle applies.

haha you're probably right.. but this is what i meant by low profile:


don't hate, i think the graphics on the side are so tastefully done.. dark gray/flat black graphics on a black car

I dont think that would work with Red kersh,, with a nuetral tone, but with any bright or saturated color it would just look like somethings wrong with your paint,,,

Not diggin' the stripes anymore due to the resemblance to the Mustang. But I will look into incorporating the black side stripes along with the black rims and the front mask.

racing stripes don't really belong on 8s...

I still say that the pic khronus79 put up (white stripes on black) is proof that the 8 can look pretty friggen sexy with stripes. I think it all really depends on what colors your going to match and the body kit you put on it. It just doesnt make sense to me to say that rx8's arent ment to have stripes, but they could have all these other decals? I personally think that if it can have other "bumper to bumper decals then it could also have double racing stripes, Its just whatever you like.
