Bill --

You gave me a good idea! How 'bout doing the stripe in either a darker, or lighter (half tone?), of the body paint color... rather than this contrasting color.

I agree with you - remove the SS trim and just use the stripe as the definition of the body lines.

Also -- I think maybe try the hash marks closer and smaller at the nose - and have them be far fewer as you get to the rear... which is the REVERSE of the AAR Cuda stripe... AND OR -- fading away or getting darker.

Next thing you know -- I'll be an "inferior desecrator" (Interior designer)!!

haha Greg you're a card. Sorry I haven't responded, I was visiting a friend this week, and had crappy internet...

I would love to try this thing several ways, using a darker shade of the orange would look killer, to enhance the "Fade" look of the stripe, it could litterally fade into the original color. That's a great idea actually. Like I said before, theres many many ways of adjusting the stripage, but something to take into consideration...You want the concept of going fast, therefore I don't think reversing the stripe would do it any justice, you want the stripe to get "Smaller" as it follows the car back.

Bill, I totally think a 3rd color would be fun to do, but I just don't know. Lighter I think, would enhance the road work cone philosophy, becuase road work cones are literally, silver and orange lol

I personally think it's fine haha, I mean really, I could see it on the autocross, carving those corners, missing those "Road Work Cones" by a faction of an inch. It's almost like the car is telling you to beware, I'm dangerous. haha
