Thoughts on this.
I was messing around with some painters tape when I was dipping my emblems, and since I REALLY wanted a Challenger and had seen some with the fender stripes, I decided to lay some tape down. What do you guys think of this but in red? Good, bad, tacky???

cool butt it needs more of an angle. and I would do something like put a frs on one of the stripes so its not so challanger-ish.

not feeling it but don't be afraid to try stuff, see what looks good to you. maybe try the other way, like // instead of \\ ? Also how about something more subdued, like stripes just on the fender garnish piece (in front of where the 86 is)

My thought is you should get that dust off the car.

I don't see dust, I see the metallic fleck in the paint shinning.

I want to do some in red just so there was something subtle on the outside that lent itself to all the red on the inside. No reason not to try it they are vinyl so if they don't look good just get rid of them. No one on the forum is driving your car but you.
Also post pictures. |
