Guest Elvis Brown Guests Posted 31/07/04 07:24 AM Share Posted 31/07/04 07:24 AM (edited) Personally I say it’s your car, and if making a cosmetic change like adding stripes enhances your enjoyment, go for it……if a few people get their noses out of joint, just shoot them that classic line from the castle…..”suffer in yer jocks” Edited 31/07/04 07:25 AM by Elvis Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about getting peoples opinions..and that is mine. I like the stripes where they were created. Yours is you like them on XR's. agree to disagree. about their prized possesion? some people dont like the stripes on other cars as they spend money on the real thing to look good. If everyone got stripes then it detracts from the unique design and seemless beauty of a GT.bbongs daughterJust a thought........... GT stripes don't come without the Falcon. I guess they all started from something of the samething.. mmm something to ponder. I think the only thing that can ruin GT's is FPV. Unless they stop the crap, no one will buy one.Oh and what is really crap is the F6 typhoon is way faster than the GT and GT-P so that's the way it should be released not tamed down to be slower because of MARKETING. People will still buy V8's coz they love em, either way they would still be buying an FPV (Future Problem Vehicle), nah only kidding I love GTs, but they should let the F6 be faster if it can be..Hey and at the end of the day they are all still FALCONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 1m 3d Posted 31/07/04 08:17 AM Share Posted 31/07/04 08:17 AM I couldn't really give two :pooh:s about what anyone else thought, but I think my car lowered (an essential ingredient) with my rims and some flared black stripes over the bonnet & roof of the car could look great. Hard to explain, but would need to get wider as they went over the car.Moot point really as I don't have the money for either!Anyhoo, here is a Venom Turbo with the traditional thin-wide-thin stripes of the GTs on the side. Only a minor difference, but looks great I think. Found this picture nearly 18 months ago, can't remember where, but if the owner is a member here, great car!Hey what the? That's my car! Thanks for the compliment BA Turbs. I wasn't a huge fan of the GT stipes, therefore I went for this design. Additionally, I didn't want to look like I was copying a GT however people still say to me, "hey, nice GT stripes"...Adding the stripes seems to make the car look lower. If it was lowered it would probably look horn but I can't be bothered scraping the hell out of my front spoiler every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA_Turbs Member 836 Member For: 21y 2m 25d Gender: Male Posted 31/07/04 08:26 AM Share Posted 31/07/04 08:26 AM cdm,It looks terrific mate, like I said, can't remember which forum I got the photo from, but it was a while ago. I figured someone here would know, or perhaps even be, the owner.How much did it cost to get them done? Sorry if that is a rude question, but it looks better than the two normal stripes by a mile.BA_Turbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbong Member 71 Member For: 20y 9m 20d Location: Townsville Qld Posted 31/07/04 08:51 AM Share Posted 31/07/04 08:51 AM I don't understand why some people bag everyone elses opinions on what they do and what they like to do to their cars. l mean who said that stripes don't go on a T is there a law or something, and why god forbid is it a try hard........really some of you act like little kids sometimes. l thought this forum is to get ideas and help people with their prized possession .....not bag them on what they do. Really you should think before you type that Anyway Scotty Tav and the nut house.not bagging you at all...just saying that the XR's dont come with stripes for a reason. The GT does.

Well I guess one can dream. im young and naive...what can I say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are GT stripes ,from the 70s.Much better looking than on the BAs IMO.If I do my bomb it will be like yours.The other pic of your car on a front lawn was our wall paper for months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
