What are your thoughts guys? I was thinking of adding some vinyl for track days or the next Texas Mile. Love to hear from you.

i vote for the matte silver/gray. =)

i think stripes are one of those things that people either love or hate. it really changes the look of the car. you'll never get everyone to say they really love it. it's going to be a mixed bag of opinions. but if YOU like it, then go for it! i've thought long and hard about doing the same to my car just to make it unique.

best wishes!

Would look ok on the track, but OTT on the street.
If you want to see ugly, you need to see my car right now, front license plate on. Waiting to get the ticket taken care of. Not sure how long I can wait... Working over the road from a courthouse sure has its downsides. Guess it was just a matter of time for some cop to ticket me..

Not black for sure! A thinner one tilted to the driver side may look okay.

Great pic. That's what I was thinking. Maybe just for track use. For fun..

That's the advantage of vinyl. Comes right off as easy as it goes on.

Is that strip combo the same as the ones you see on those boxter/caymans, black cars with matt black stripes?

Not really a fan of the stripes...although something off center and a more interesting pattern like the member who had tire marks on his green GT3RS, might look good.

I like the gray one Todd but I also was going to suggest Erics idea ..... Ghost Stripes ...... subtle yet still has the desired effect. Think of the decals on HPD cars right now the ones that are used to be sneaky.
