Removed My Racing Stripes

green machine · July 16th, 2006, 10:17 PM

I just removed my racing stripes a couple of days ago becuase they had big brown spots all over them and were becoming very brittle although i washed my car like twice a week and the spots wouldnt go away. what can i do to prevent this in the future? Im not even sure if i want to put any back on or not...

If it was vinyl, they will decolor. Painted stripes are the only way to go for longevity

mdvaldosta · July 16th, 2006, 11:49 PM

Mine did that too, after just 8 months. I assume if I bought better vinyl they woulda lasted longer, but I went ahead and painted them.

green machine · July 17th, 2006, 10:42 AM

green machine · July 17th, 2006, 11:50 AM

well here they are:

Drgnracin72 · July 17th, 2006, 05:55 PM

i like it better, just need some different wheels and youll be set

AtlanticBlue99 · July 17th, 2006, 07:40 PM

different wheels, lose the wing, and get rid of that tail pipe

ChrisJ · July 17th, 2006, 07:58 PM

Nice looking car...Listen to AtlanticBlue99...

green machine · July 17th, 2006, 10:21 PM

if i did all of that it would pretty much be stock..... would it not..... why do none of you like the spoiler??? it is a Saleen spoiler for petes sake...

the fart can is only temporary as my old pipe was rusty but supposed to be stainless.....

Twist 2 Go · July 17th, 2006, 10:25 PM

imo, looks better w/o the stripes

green machine · July 17th, 2006, 10:28 PM

yeah i agree with the stripes not looking good but just wanted to know why everyone hates my spoiler so bad.

ChrisJ · July 17th, 2006, 10:31 PM

I hate those spoilers Saleen or not...Thats just me...Its huge...It does not go wth the body lines at all...I think they are way to big...I would not put one on my car...Go with the S281 Spoiler...The like little wing one that comes off the rear deck lid; now that one looks good...The double stack is just not my cup of tea...

green machine · July 17th, 2006, 10:38 PM

Yeah i agree it is a little tall, although this was not my first choice in a wing but it was given to me by my brother so i stuck it on there, i dont really make all that much money so i couldnt really afford to buy a 200+ spoiler

If you like it then that is all that matters...

green machine · July 17th, 2006, 11:04 PM

yeah i know but everyone i talk to is like "oh look at that riced out stang!" but yet the wing was made for mustangs.... I guess i just have to learn to ignore stuff like that. but thanks guys for all the comments about the stripes! Hopefully after college i can get a higher paying job to feed my mustang mods

AtlanticBlue99 · July 17th, 2006, 11:09 PM

Im not trying to burst your bubble with my comments, but the spoiler is that- for saleens or equally powerful mustangs. Im not a big fan of show before go, but whatever floats your boat- it's your car.

green machine · July 17th, 2006, 11:17 PM

well if i was trying to make my car look like a Saleen or Gt or something i wouldnt have single exhaust and i wouldnt have the V6 pony side emblems on it

I know it may sound like i had a hot temper but we are all freinds here and i shouldnt act like a child, cuase im not im in fact 18

so if i sounded a little like snappy or something you will have to excuse me

green machine · July 17th, 2006, 11:18 PM

But yeah the fart can is definatly not staying on, just need to find a really good exhaust tip....

Everyone does not know that...I mean to me the wing is ricey on anything...Including the S351...

Its the internet...no harsh feelings...
