i think it would look better if you got it extended onto the nosecone(around the front badge where the raised section still is) and it might look different.

I agree aza, it looks kinda dead with it just stopping at the bonnet.

You know what... I quite like it, 'tis pretty tasteful ...
& not to mention a good way to add 10BHP

hehe, nah jk

I like it better only reaching to the end of the bonnet.

Do you now how much it is going to cost you to get done?

Shaun (mrx) from SA has a similar stripe on his car, although Dark grey on a Silver FTO is not quite so bold as Blue on White... But still looks very good.

MRX's looks good. For the big step of Blue on white I prefer what one of the other Sydney members did with two seperate stripes ala like on the new Feitsa XR4's. I think it was Robert?

Amacha, any colour really, play around with a photo of your car and see what you like. FOr me darker grey and or silvers look really good on cars like that or maybe even just black. Any local sticker place would be able to make a vinyl sticker up like this or if you can find someone that does airbrushing they could pint it for you but it would be much more expensive. If you look in the phone book you would be suprised at the amount of places that do vinyl stickers for commercial and race car applications.

I asked a auto graphics store for a few stripes on my car on the sides, and he quoted me $400. So obviously i told him to u know what. Coz u can buy them and install them urself if you have the time and patience!

Don't know if he is still arround, but didn't a guy called Rob have this done on a white FTO ... I think he had the Viper style stripes ...

It looked hot as ... IMO

manofwood · Post by **manofwood** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 9:46 pm

what if you made the stripe stop at the badge, rather than going all the way down, and round the edges off to look a bit more streamline

Post by **aza013** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 10:16 pm

mmmmm

that may work and still have the badge showing as well

maybe

sorry but you asked for feedback - i think it looks horrendous......

not really into stripes, but if your going to do them, at least go for 2 parallel lines down one side of car and not in bright blue...

Post by **aza013** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 10:38 pm

sorry its been a long day lol I took another look at it and just had to do it
