Poll: Should I get a stripe and what color?
Some of you may remember my 94 SVX with Young Tom's 246 whp engine build and the Whiteline rear adjustable links along with many other goodies. I'm finally going to have a nice respray by Dave Heinricks. I'm keeping it emerald pearl but was thinking I should have a stripe or two. By the way, I'm changing to a '97 grille. Here are my options:
1. No stripe 2. Single central black stripe 3. Wide central black stripe with very narrow stripes each side. 4. Option 2 in yellow 5. Option 3 in yellow 6. Option 2 in gold 7. Option 3 in gold What do you think?

Re: Poll: Should I get a stripe and what color?
Could be interesting... Not generally a fan of graphics myself but in the spirit of Because Rececar I'd vote option 3 in gold.
What about an offset stripe?

Re: Poll: Should I get a stripe and what color?
Personally I think stripes are hideous but since you're asking you'll probably get them anyway, even tough survey says no

Re: Poll: Should I get a stripe and what color?
Back in the day, before the Young Tom engine transformation and before the paint job deteriorated so badly. Poll, wife and daughter all say no stripes.

Re: Poll: Should I get a stripe and what color?
Running really well. YT came back a month or so ago and adjusted the tuning. Had a lot of driveability issues. Now it is really good. The sound and feel of running up through the gears, full throittle, shifting at 6500 is so sweet. The solid top mounts can be pretty harsh on a poor road surface, but the handling, with the new front and rear control arms is very crisp.

Re: Poll: Should I get a stripe and what color?
Try it out in Plasti-dip. You can paint whatever you want, leave it for a while and peel it off when you get sick of it. Pretty cheap too at $6 a can....

Re: Poll: Should I get a stripe and what color?
Done graphics looong time ago. Now each time I look back I feel stupid (removed them of course).
  Stripes are generally good on a wide body/large rims car.. But I wouldnt consider them at all.

Re: Poll: Should I get a stripe and what color?
Take pics of the car, transfer to your computer. Put stripes on the car via Paint application in Windows. Evaluate. Decide. Works great for pasting photos of wheels to see what they look like on your vehicle. which I have been doing the the last week. Or I suppose, better, Photoshop.

I am currently working on a special project that involves it. I will definitely lower it though, probably by 2-3 inches.
