what you guys think to this (yes i know its not all the way down, and yes also i know its wonky i did it in photoshop as a test)

Fundamental problem here - graphics are not tasteful!

There's only two road going Supra's that have ever carried this off and they are far from standard... Not that I would call either of them tasteful - they were both promo cars.

thats a no then lol

thats a no then lol

Well only IMO, but thats worth squat

VIL put exactly the same colour and width stripes on his silver supra (he posted pics on the forum somewhere). I've seen it up close and really don't think it works at all.

If you're going to do it, do it proper

oooh them are much too dark, i was only considering very slight difference almost opaque style.

There is more Supras with stripes. One is red with white stripes, but i forgot guys name and second is Ariana's one. Beauty is eye of beholder, so "no tastefull" is Homers personal opinion I've seen it in flesh and can say I like it

I think you mean Dibbleyuk's car.

In some ways I'd agree with you, but there is such a thing as having taste, thats quite different to the styling preference of the moment. Most of the Savo massive think their Veilside-esque bodykits look good, that doesn't make them tasteful

im in 2 minds anyway and if i did do it they would be only a shade darker than the silver paint anyway

Some more striped pics if thats your thing.. Simonb's car with a tasteful shopping list

I don't know what it is, but if they're on any car other than an AC Cobra, GT40 or Viper they just look wrong IMO.

You do that to my car and i wont sell it to you:haha:

This what a car should look like with stripes:thumbs:

Don't do it!!!

H.

Please don't hurt your car!

No No No....

It will knock 2k off your car straight away. It looks good as it is.

it's you're car mate, if you like it then do it, you can always take them back off:)

you dont need stripes to make your car look better it looks stunning as is leave striping to the

Buy one of these instead

I once had the same urge to adorn my car with sticky back plastic but my friends together with the helpful folks at mkivsupra.net showed me the light and persuaded me to step away from the vinyl cutter.

Don't do it.

Although I do like Simons car and Muffermans too.

Ah, the good old stripe fest of Le Mans 2005/6... It was a right PITA in 2006 as we put them on on the hottest day of the year and they stretched. Getting them off was a nightmare that year too so we decided we couldn't be arsed this year and went for flames instead. We did think about union jack flames but it was going to be too expensive.

If you want stripes get one of these:

I'm not a fan of car graphics but I have added a very subtle one to the front

do it .... do it ..... do it ......

Well thats my opinion, but then again I have done it.....

Actually I did it just to see what it would look like and to be honest the pictures dont do it justice as it looks better in the flesh.

However, I did only do it as an excersise and they may be coming back off shortly.....problem is it will then look like the many thousands of other silver supras on the road again and I wont get spotted as much!

If you are going to have a go then I have 3 tips:

1. get wider stripes than mine at least 8-9" wide

2. put them closer together eg about a 2-3" gap

3. set asside most of your day as getting it on the car straight, cut to size etc is a long job.

Your car is nice the way it is. Please don't put stripes on it.
