Photos of Kappas with racing stripes
« on: December 01, 2010, 03:42:09 AM »
Hey all.
i thought I'd start a thread where people can post pics of their Kappas with racing stripes.
so if you have racing stripes (factory or aftermarket, painted or vinyl) on your kappa, pls post your pics.

i like the racing stripes, but i m not sure whether it looks good on a black GT like mine. for me, the only option would be the matte black.

don t forget:

They are stripes, no strips  :poke: Yes, they are matte black and ordered to a local vinyl shop to be custom cut, any vinyl shop can do that for you. I can't disclose the price because is discounted because my car club promoted that shop to the biggest romanian auto show. The prices around here are 50-70$ per kit.

But I have a spare kit  :devil:

Kelu: Nice stripe's the matte really brings out the paint. Don't know if this counts, but here are my side stripes. The hood and trunk I guess don't count.

I was one of the early stripers and caught some flak for it, but my car wouldn't look right to me now without them.







this last one is after I added my lower side stripes.

These aren't exactly racing stripes but the effect is about the same. I can't imagine the Ghost without her stripes, even if they aren't true racers.

Thanks...Reed and I went to this area of Long Island with all factories and warehouses...really cool backgrounds for photos.  Plus, we have the opposite cars...his is ruby red with black stripes and mine is black with dark red stripes...his is a Redline and mine is a GXP.  We thought it would be a cool idea to take some pics side by side.
