Corvette Grand Sport Style Fender Stripe - who's done it?
I've saw a few Subaru's with this done in the PRON video (the part with the EVO vs. STI commercial). I personally sort of like the look. I suppose it's a pretty popular thing these days... I was thinking of doing it to my black wagon (red stripes) as it will be ~$10 in materials and is an easy way to give the car a different look. Thoughts? Ideas? In case you are wondering what I'm talking about, see this: (i'm talking about the red fender stripe, nothing else).
The PRON commercial is here - there are at least 2 subies in it with the stripes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4QJKB36EfM |

Yea, I think red would look cool. Give it a try. Maybe try it with red electrical tape before actually painting it just to see if you like it.

I'm going to do it with red vinyl. Should be pretty cheap (~$10-15 from a local shop). I did a photoshop but my computer closed it without saving it... it looked OK, but not sure if I liked it. (I'm also not very good at photoshop). I probably will do it with vinyl and I can always pull it off if I don't like the way it looks.

Since it's a domestic, you can't call it ricey if you copy it. Guess its corny? It's a vette thing, and it should be left that way. Do you see vette drivers with roof vents and driver/codriver stickers? Please. No. Don't. Ouch.

If vette owners can do this, then 2 stripes on your car will look great. Its your car. Go for it. I had it on mine.

Rubbish,
And BTW I did not realise that a popular thing from 10 years ago is the thing to do these days. |

^^ You are right. Looks a lot better with the thinner stripes.

gaugeof12, thanks for the photoshop! I need to learn how to photoshop like that, I can never get mine to look realistic. What tools in photoshop did you use to keep the glare of the light on the modified part?
I definitely like the second one better. wrx nig, looks really good - what is the width of each stripe? |

I like the 2 color thing. The black/red stripes look pretty cool.
