heres one pic with out stripes, and heres one pic with the stripes. Before you guys rip me apart the stripes are just printer paper taped on to my truck to see how it the stripes would look. Eventually when i get enough money i will have them painted on but for now they will just be vinyl.

I like it with the stripes. I saw one in Tampa and it was a real head turner.

I like my trucks plain, this way it's not so easily identifiable by da poo-liice.

 

What he said. "Head turners" also turn cop heads.

Red is plenty loud as it is.

 

I like stripes on L's, I would go for it, but I would space them a little farther apart tho.

i just finished taking off vinyl stripes off my truck....I guess I was giving them a "trial run" before paint. .... youeither love em or you hate them

most of my friends along with my parents hated it, but alot of random people seemed to love it. Upon taking them off I heard songs of both joy and praise...

It wasn't that difficult to take them off...but it was pretty time consuming to put them on! I say, "hey if ya got the time, go for it... you can always take them off if you don't like them..."

just don't let too much time pass before taking them off, as the paint under the stripes will fade less quickly then the other areas, causing a "shadow"

dont stripes make u faster though? :-p yeh i think they look better without stripes... attract less attention from police and so forth.. also vinyl dont add HP

 

They need to be a little wider. Here is a pic of mine. They are painted on.

 

Yep, I know all about that one - red, lowered, tint and with the Bassani exhaust, they already keep an eye on me and when I left my FFW numbers and stickers on, they were blatantly following me around. I do not need anything more to attract attention.

CSHEETS , how wide are your stripes , and what is your spacing ? thanks to every one for there input. i will be going with the stripes and if i dont like them i can always take them off. tomorrow i will be droping my truck off at PSP to have a complete built long block put in and other goodies so my truck will go as fast as it looks!!

 

Stay far away from the stripes.....


so mine will remain unique mine are painted

 

They are 4inches apart and 15inches wide.

 

I'm okay with the stripes, and I'm very conservative on "blingy" things. If I had your truck I would put a factory (new?) grill on and ditch that honeycomb look. Just my opinion though....

 

Thinking of doing the 15 inches wide 4 inches apart white on red.
I'm tryin to also figure out the side stripes perhaps two going from the fender
on the same level as below the first crease in the door back to where the bed starts.

I've seen vinyl look very nice and I've seen paint be a bit sloppy ..paint smears etc. In a perfect worl a $5,000 flame paint job would be nice too :^).

I like the stripes.
