Stripes or Hockey Sticks

Well, My car as of now looks sexy I know. But imo its a little to much silver. I know most say get a new hood or spoiler....thats just to expensive for me apperance wise. So im lookin to add some black to the car as a last apperance mod so then I can get down to power business.


So either..
Black Stripes down the center like so


Or Hockey Sticks.



Pics of my car are here.

I don't like the hockey stripes on a 4th gen, leave them for the 1st gens and do real stripes (and if you do a decal I will put type r stickers on your car)

Why does it really matter? Im willing to bet you wouldnt be able to tell if they were decals or painted from a picture unless he told you. Decals are good incase it looks bad you could remove it, and paint is for permanance.

decals can't be removed, hold moisture, and typically look like hammered dog **** in person (they are for the rich kids who want everything done for them ) paint if done right won't be above the rest of the cars paint, can be adjusted for differences in teh car (every car is different) and can be done different than the same ones everyone and their brother has

What are you talking about? Im pretty sure decals CAN be removed, Ive done it.

I really woundt consider myself rich either... Id think it would be the other way around, paint is for rich kids, decals are for poor people like me.

I just found this picture of Rob's old car, you need stripes like this. They looks 500000000000 times better.

the best ones look like stickers. Painting them on is not that much (especially if you do it yourself a blind monkey can paint stripes on it's easier than anyone thinks)
