Parent's Car

Mom and dad bought their 2010 after me....and they had to get the same color as my wife and mine 09. So I convinced them they needed stripes. What do you all think? The strips are vinyl.

It looks nice. I like the color combo and the wheels are great. I would have gone to the front edge of the hood with the stripes though.

IMO, stripes not wide enough, and gap a bit to wide.
When I had my stripes done on my '05, I think it was two 10" stripes with 1" (or 1.5") gap.

Exactly what I was going to say. Also, as was mentioned already, the hood edge looks like poop lol. And the fitment around the rear medallion.


That being said. I love the color combo, similar to the GT500 KR. I would tell your parents to have the stripes painted on the same color, but make the stripes wider, yet closer together. Get that done, dual exhaust conversion and the car will look great!

I really like the color scheme but agree with them being wider. With those colors and wheels it reminds me of a KR "mini me".

Eeehhh.... I don't really care for it. Don't really like the color scheme either. I think it would look better if they were white or matte black. But to each their own...

Looks fine the way it is. Much better than silver with out a stripe. It would look better if they were wider and a bit longer. They should of wrapped over the edge... but I'm partial to blue stripes...
