VE Track Stripes on VY Ute

[Tre-Cool]

A couple of weeks ago i purchased the VE Sedan track sticker package $300 (or whatever it's called) for my VY Ute.

So tonight i decided to see what it would look like before actually going ahead with it. As i havent washed the car for about 3 months (and the gearbox is out for braided line mod), I wont be taken the protective covers for the stickers off until i get the car detailed.

My first thoughts are... I like it. :) Still keeps the vy pointy nose and isn't too obtrusive like a Monaro bonnet would be.

I haven't decided whether or not to do the roof, but I'm leaning towards doing it as well. Your thoughts?

[Kris78]

ahh not a fan!
sorry!

[zeeute]

I like that alot mate! very nice... did you have to cut the sticker to the right size or does it all fit on?

[dadem0n]

Do it... seen a few dealers doing it to spice up used cars and it doesn't look too bad at all. Like you said, better than a bloody monaro bonnet :nyuk:

Hard to say on the Hothouse.

i havent cut the stickers at all yet.

So it's how it came. Will need to do some cleaning up of the edges once i do put it on though and the stickers as a few are not cut straight.

Have a hothouse SS ute too and have thought about the monaro bonnet but couldn't bring myself to do it. Like the idea of what you're doing and would be keen to see some after photos, what's with the spare bonnet?

it's my old bonnet and guards, picked up 2nd hand ones that were in better condition then mine.

[smokiebbear]

Not too sure about them. Maybe take some pics outside in the light from further away to see what it would look like.

there was a hothouse vy ss ute in Mackay that had it done, it looked pretty good to me

sorry :spew: black wud prob look better on the green.

[BLQWN]

Nah, I don't like the fact that they seem to start nowhere, at least with the nostril bonnet they come from somewhere, seems every man and his dog has stripes now.
If you do it, I think white's the best colour - good luck.

[Lofty]

Are you doing the hard cover aswel?

[SICK SS]

lov ya hoist dave

[milkojnr]

sorry :spew: black wud prob look better on the green.

I agree I would go for the black not white.

As mentioned below are you doing the tray cover as well?

[Cruzadr]

I was wondering whether anyone was going to do this. Wouldn't mind getting some Matte Black ones for my white VX (with dark monaro lights, shadow chrome factory rims). I actually think they look better than on the VE. Just need someone with more balls, and money, than me to do it so I can see what its like. Post some pics up when its all shiny and new.

[Firebug]

Another vote for the black stripes on the green... :)

[VYR8HSV]

just ordered the ve kit from Amcap in welshpool

I am going to put matt black ones on me VX SS ,only the bonnet though
I will get them custom made so I dont have to buy the whole kit

[Tre-Cool]

Guys, the stickers are Black, they just have the white sticker covers on.

Don't have a hard cover mate.

I paid $302 all up, u can get them in either silver or black.

[OUTAtheBloo]

Sometimes i think less is more on a car.

But im all for trying something different.

I too have been pondering a silver set on my Black VYII SS. Maybe some of the photoshop gurus could bang some up ?!? :bow:

[marls]

Looks awesome dude.

Good job.

[KeenGolfer]

I'm not sure if black stripes would look good on green. On white or red they look fantastic IMO. Now you got me thinking what they would look like on my wagon.

[2 modit]

i think they look great imo

[vh-holden]

To me, it looks like the stickers are fighting with the lines of the bonnet. Maybe angle them a little so they run with the two ridges in the bonnet?
