I actually think the racing stripes are nice. Love the contrasting colour, you can't go wrong with blue and white. I would personally put an agressive lip and keep going down the lip with the racing stripes.

Word of advice, RACING STRIPES should only be used on American Muscle Cars Only!!!

Everything else there used on is just uncivilized!

Peace!

This type of attitude/ignorance is the reason why the rest of the world loath Americans.

Blue car/white racing strips were designated for American cars in races, thats why you see so many american cars with that color scheme. If you're gonna use it, at least know the history of it.

I kinda like it...but it would look alot better if it was fixed up more. But I'll tell you a sad story. I got stuck by a GSR on the freeway just now. I'm not sure what it had but it sounded pretty stock to me. I was trying to stay away from mods because I know how addicting it can be(I put down about 5 g's in my last car). But that made me sad, I'm buying the pop charger and test pipes next!

I dont like the way the stripes look on the Z, but I think everyone has different tastes, and I am glad of this I wouldn't want everyone on the street drivin my same car with my wheels, body kit, etc...

Also saying that only american cars should use them, is like saying that lambo doors only belong to lamborghinis, carbon fiber ony belongs to race cars, etc...

Who cares who had them first or who normaly has them, the point is if you like something and you want to do it to your car go ahead, is your car, is your money...
