Scotty Tav Member 65 Member For: 20y 4m 3d Posted 31/07/04 11:40 AM Author Share Posted 31/07/04 11:40 AM Blown BA, I like your posts on here mate. You seem to to be like me and are more interested in the cars than the BS. Keep it up I don't want to buy the "real thing" because I am going to buy a ute. I only really meant what do you all think of stripes in general. I just said GT stripes so you know what I was talking about. I prefer the ones on the Red car too. Nice one.What do you think of the Cobra stipes done by Brad Garlidk Ford? Does anyone have one of their beasts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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 Thanks guys. The stripes were about $450 fitted by a local signwriter and the design virtually identical to the Shelby GT500 mustang however it's stripes are only along the body between the wheels. Hoot: By copying the GT I was refering to the folks who think they are BA GT stripes.Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo Ken,the little brothers with lightning strike cop the same cr@p!Colour just like stripes is about personal taste-respect the other guy/girls choice.Plenty of GT,s out there without stripes too,if you can choose not to have stripes, whats wrong with choosing to have them?
