Black SC with a Vertex Widebody, and twin somewhat see through silverish stripes down the center might look pretty nice. If someone is able to photoshop that.

to each his own, it really depends on how ricey it looks...for example,
on a civic it would look dumb as hell,
on a viper it looks bad ***.
if your goin for the lux look dont do it but if i personally think it would look good as long as its not yellow or orange and depending on the color of your car...
thanks for the speakers btw

I think the size of the hood & body lines would fight w/ stripes.
I've often played w/ a suttle 2 tone. Like 2 shades darker/ lighter,
but again the body lines make it tuff to make it look right.

Ghost stripes in the clear would be the only way to pull it off, if
you could lay them out. You would also need a angry body kit like
a target or similar.

I'd say the only stripe that looks good is the signal auto stripes. But then some would say it's ricey.

They only belong on certain cars and imports aren't in that group. Only old school muscle cars and newer domestic cars can pull it off.

If you are going to go all out and turn it into a racing car with all the fixings (ie. not to be driven on public streets)....ok

But, if the car is going to be viewed by the public, please don't destroy the car's inherent class.

If you are looking to take the luxury and refinement out of the Lexus style and make it look like an American muscle car. (arrogant cats that drive mustangs / vettes / vipers / cameros and think they can beat anything on the road just because they have a GT) But personnaly I would not suggest doing it.

as if it being a race car would matter?
it would still look bad lol


keep it on the stangs / vettes / vipers
it looks good there, dont mess with a good thing and put em on the imports
