I like the black stripes on white cars . I think it would suit your car . Go for it . Mick

[hally]

Not a big fan of stipes on cars when they're not a factory option, but each to there own, choose what you like mate!:)

[GODSMACK]

Agree with HOTSV8, stripes suit your car...

[xploit]

If it were my car..

Id lose the Spoiler, Bonnet Protector and Mudflaps. (But i live in Melbourne, Alice springs you probably need them :lol:)

Then get a VZ GTO bonnet with the flutes and have the stripes coming down to the flutes..

Kind of like the vz gto LE which had this from factory.

Then you would have one hell of a winner IMHO

Dave :)

[apt ssv]

Not a big fan of the stripes even on the VE 's

the car no longer has the bonnet protector, thats an old pic, and im not keen on taking the spoiler off, and my car never goes off the bituman so i dont need them :P :)

[Gee]

I think they wold look better if they were more squared off, or at least didn't angle in quite as much or early as the chop (I'm thinking better to be more HQ GTS style)

[ti0350]

I recon it looks good although i may not be the right person to comment as I want to do the same to my VY..

[jdonly1@wideban]

Looks good

[TUFGN3]

i have a metallic charcoal set off the VESS sitting at work from a car we were meant to be putting them on but they never came in, i contemplated putting them on my silver VYSS as i thought the contrast would have looked sweet, couple of the mates talked me out of it, i reckon you should go for it, if you dont like them they can always be removed

Im with that 100%
Would suit it very nicely :)
Would add to the look your looking for. :)

[Big_Valven]

Very nice look, I think the ends of them on the bonnet should match the shape of the corners of the bonnet.

[wikky]

Personally I don't think it suits the car but if you like it that's all that matters.

[darb]

I think stripes are a little tacky & try hard (but not as bad as ... stupidly large spoilers , rear wings attached to utes , or performance stickers on standard cars, neons , giant holden stickers on windscreens (wow mate thanks i didnt know it was a holden!!) , sideways caps on homeboy boy racers with all 4 windows down, when its 4degrees and no passngers, and adult men with pants hanging around the bottom of their ass cheeks ... you know, anything that screams "look at me im desperate for approval & need to belong".

But then thats ONLY my opinion, and is no more or less valid than someone elses, im probly just boring & over-opinionated :) !!

[GMMAD]

I think they look good on the bonnet but wouldnt do the roof and boot

[chook]

noooooooooooooo

[DR-vyss-108]

yeah, i have changed my mind against it, way over the top (literally) now i think about it

[Y55-7UT]

i think the ones gmmad have look awsome, but i would personally run them over the roof and maybe boot with a tad of spoiler, where did you get them from gm, i wouldnt mind running some over my ute and some slightly longer ones for the hardcover to stop at about 3/4

[warrick]

yep go with the stripes.just dont do the roof.like the old HQ'S would be fine i think.the roof is overkill.
cheers
warrick

[JJAX]

I like it...maybe not the roof tho? How much does this cost to do?

Can I ask what size rims you have & how low did you go with suspension? Any issues with mud guards scraping??

[MANHYPERSS]

I dont think they look too bad, not my thing tho.

Only thing i dont like or think would make em look better, in my opinion, the front of the strips should be the same as the front of the bonnet, ie rounded same angle ect

[GMMAD]

I made a template and got a local sign writer to make them
cost me $50

[Nidz]

If you want a VE with racing stripes go buy one, You own a VY.. Keep it that way..

[OzJavelin]

I like the idea of track stripes on non-VE's but the devil is in the details. Just gotta get the stripes looking right .. and the problem seems to be at the leading edge of the bonnet; doesn't match the VY shape?

I want a set of orange stripes on my silver VY! :)

[MANHYPERSS]

Orange stripes on silver? i have seen that, i have, where? mmm, Oh Oh Fraud GTP's :-(

[Shan84]

I like it! Been considering this for a while on my car (also white SS)

[weekendwarrior]

i say go for it. Will get your car alot more attention. take that plasitic bonnent cover thing off as well

is this question for me?? if so, 18" and the mudflaps do scrap on certain things, they are getting removed soon though,

the front is different now, no plastic

NOTE: bad photographer :P

[JJAX]

Yeah was for you, thanks! 18's they look bigger!
When are you getting the stripes done? Is that a vinyl sticker or spray painted on?

[smokey777]

those mudflaps wouldve been gone the second i got it home :)

[vxSSilver]

how'd you do your grill ??? i like it

[OzJavelin]

XW GTs and HQ GTS ...

[DR-vyss-108]

those mudflaps wouldve been gone the second i got it home :)
lol yes the mudflaps are going sooooooon

[MAPHSV]

I dont think it suits, but it is your car. I think white cars dont work with strips, that may be the problem.

[KeenGolfer]

The ones on GMMAD's car look good. I really like the black stripes on a red car - been wondering what that would like like on the wagon.
