Scotty Tav Member 65 Member For: 20y 4m 3d Posted 30/07/04 09:40 AM Share Posted 30/07/04 09:40 AM Hi guys, Iam just wondering who out there likes the stripes on the new GT? I thought they were a bit ordinary compared to the XY look (which I think they are meant to be inspired by) with the stripes on the side and the blacked out bonnet.I thought the sill stripes looked like a bit of an after thought but I must admit I saw the ad on the M4 (Sydney) for the new GT and the XY on the "mother of performance cars" and the BA Blue GT with the light blue stripes on the sills looks quite good. I would probably get them myself if they look as good on the car as they do in that picture. I also don't like that "Splice Pine/Lime" colour (only my opinion guys) BUT there is a Ute in Auto Alley at the Expensive Daewoo Dealer that is that colour and it has the black stripe kit and I hate to say it but it looks really good! I think it balances it out a bit and looks pretty tough which I like. When I buy my XR8 ute, I want Black (are they going to continue with black?) or Phantom but do you think stripes on those colours would look sh*t? Black ute with Silver strips and Phantom with Orange? Does anyone have either of these? I saw some "Cobras" at Brad Garlick Ford that look awesome with the XC over the roof stripes and the modded bonnet but they are a bit pricey I think. Phew! Only about 10 questions in that lot!

Make some custom stripes or get over the bonnet stripes instead of being a tryhard wannabe. Leave the GT stripes where they belong. Yes it is your car and you can do what you want but having a set of custom stripes made up to look different from the pack is way cooler than pretending to be something you are not.

I am not into stripes on XR's. If stripes were meant to be on XR's, God (FoMoCo) would have made them that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to do them, go a different design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
