This forum, from what I've seen, seems to dislike the idea of racing stripes on a RX-8, the few pictures I have seen of them do indeed look like poo because they were done half ***.

My friend Adam does vinyl for a living and he helped me with my stripes today. You will see Adam inthe pictures applying the stripes.

I will get daytime pics tomorrow and post them. So far, I LOVE them. They are 8in wide and spaced 2in apart. In my opinion, if you are doing stripes on a 8, that is the size and spacing to do them.







That little lip part of the trunk was a BITCH for him. It looks like it would be easy but the multiple angles make applying stripes in that area a huge headache.

 

came out pretty good. good job.

 

Nice job. Personally I would have gone thinner and white. Post up some day shot.

 

Looks surprisingly good. +1 on the white though.

 

Thanks! I was thinking white, but I had these laying around my apartment so.... :D

Plus I enjoy the silver. The daytime pics I take tomorrow will give a better idea of how they look.

 

came out pretty well. One thing I'm unsure of is the hood... I'm thinking it might have looked better if it stopped at the curve maybe for a better flow. But cant say for sure without seeing both ways lol. And as others said, white might have looked better, but silver is more unique I think.

 

looks better than i thought it would. ive seen the one stripe down others cars which i didnt like. but the dual stripes came out great.

 

now you need some wheels and a nice drop to go with the racy stripes. it looks like a clean install, guy seemed to know what he was doing, which is good. nothing worse than a bad install.

 

I agree on the drop. Should be coming soon.

As far as wheels, I'm thinking I should stay with a silver wheel now and to be honest I like the stock wheels so they may just stay. I'd like to see how a dark rim with a polished lip would look with them though. Perhaps a dark bronze.

 

i like it....its different....but i would do a bit more agressive of a stance now......and wheels to finish the look

 

looks nice in silver or maybe white too......I have a sunlight silver, would like to do it like that ( w/ or without my C.F. hood)but not sure of what color. where do you get that stuff?

 

Ordered off some vendor on ebay. It's made by 3m, so it's good stuff.

 

The pic of your buddy holding the scalpel right above the hood made me nervous. Don't scratch the PAAAAIINT!!!

Looks like it came out pretty nice though, get some better pics in the daylight for us.

 

I like the silver stripes. More refined than white would be. nice job!!

 

stripes always remind me of mustangs, your friend did a good job though


nice license plate

 

Nice work. Take some pics in the sunlight. Would love to see it.

 

yikes! stripes!

 

It looks alright, but I just don't see the RX8 as a striped kind of car. Maybe some day shots it'll look different.

 

nice stripes.

supergoat's "Join Date: Dec 2001" wow!

 

I think it came out pretty good...i got a little worried at the work in progress pics, but the final ones look good

 

yes, those turned out great!!! good job.


didnt even know the site was around back then.

 

can't wait to see some day-time pics

 

Looks good, and Im feeling the silver over the white anyways

 

Looks awesome.... +1

 

I also agree that they look really good.

More needs to be done to the car though......
