Default New stripes

So I actually added these on a couple weeks ago, but I haven't had the chance to get her nice and cleaned up due to weather. But it is FINALLY beautiful out with no trace of snow anywhere! So I took a few pics. I know they aren't anyone's first color pick, but I think it makes her stand out as a 'one of a kind' car. I was going for the Corvette Grand Sport look, so they're only on the one side. What do you think?

I personally like a clean look free of decals, etc. My opinion is the car was beautiful to begin with so why change it.

I actually kind of like those. I was thinking about doing something like that with mine....except most likely not in pink. haha. Did you just paint those on yourself?

Like I was told about painting my old tractor on one of the tractor forums. "it's your tractor, paint it any way you like". Those stripes clearly set it apart from all the others.

Stripes aren't my thing personally (though pink would have been my first choice too haha), but it looks good and it's another unique touch that makes your car stand out.

They're vinyl decals, so I can take them off if I decide I don't like them anymore.

I wanted a subtle, but 'girly' touch to the outside. I still have one clean side, which is why I wanted to do the Grand Sport style fender stripes. It was a big toss up to do it or not, but it makes her stand out and draws a lot more attention. All the 'maros driven around here are boring, bone stock and driven by 50 year old men (no offense anyone), but they're nothing exciting to look at. I wanted to stand out just a little bit.
