  • Photoshopped racing stripes and side mirror leds

    So I was bored and started thinking about racing stripes. What do you think about this quick photoshop? It could be cool or come off as super gay. Not really sure haha. I'm tempted to try out some vinyl and see what happens. Either white or a light silver color would be best I think.

    I also shopped in some led turn signals into the side mirror. This is somthing I'm almost 100% gonna do. I have a few amber colored LED strips sitting at home right now that I ordered and I'm looking at them tonight to make sure its something I want before I start drilling holes in my car.

    Whatcha think?

    I personally think that the turn signals should be white. Looks good though.

        IMO, racing stripes are way too overdone. Seems like every pos type car has them, or at least around where I live. I've yet to see a race car that has racing stripes. Plus racing stripes also say to cops "hey give me a bunch of unwanted attention and harass me as much as you can, cause I like to drive fast."

        Why not do a stripe down the side of your car? do a variation of the starsky-n-hutch el-torino's stripe. That would look cool.

            I love the look. Been thinking about it myself, except yellow ones.

            Suggestions:

            1. Fire the installer He did a terrible job on your roof ones
            2. Maybe paint the mirrors to match the car?
            3. Eye lids. Hey its photoshop, we can all all we want for free
            4. Chrome (alteza) tails

            Nice job already tho.

              Ha, thanks light.

              1. My installer Juan was legally blind and drunk but needed the cash. Please leave him be.
              2. I'm back and forth on paint matching them. I like the look when people do it, but I like having the contrast there. We'll see about that one. Calipers are probably the first painting gettin done now that springs coming.
              3. I'm not too interested in eyelids. Just not really my thing. Although I have been looking at some DIY methods that I could work some angel eyes...
              4. I have the altezzas you have, this is just an old pic. I remember because you installed them the same weekend I did and posted like 3 hours before I could so I looked like the schlub with sloppy seconds

                Juan has Parkinsons' too it looks like...

                I really like the LED's in the mirror.

                I don't know if I care for the stripe, but it's not bad - it looks ok.....

                    well if your gonna do the stripes, don't run them down the front bumper. Just have them stop at the front of the hood. I think that would look okay.

                    I couldn't find a pic of your car, so I just used the one from above.
                    this is what I meant about the starsky and hutch type stripe.

                        I was thinking about doing pin stripes on my MPD hood. Still not sure though. If I did it would be the SAME style on the WS6 hood Tran's Am's....

                          I'm not digging the strips, but I have never been a strip person so that might just be me

                          I love the turn signals.

                              I actually like the look of the stripes.....minus the part on the front bumper(between upper and lower grills). Other then that, I think it looks great! And the led turn signals on the mirrors looks really good. I definitly like those.
