NeoFuture Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Im considering some tastefull body graphics for when i get me car (oct 5th) what you guys think to this (yes i know its not all the way down, and yes also i know its wonky i did it in photoshop as a test) http://www.neofuture.co.uk/stripes.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Fundamental problem here - graphics are not tasteful! There's only two road going Supra's that have ever carried this off and they are far from standard... Not that I would call either of them tasteful - they were both promo cars.

Homer Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 thats a no then lol Well only IMO, but thats worth squat VIL put exactly the same colour and width stripes on his silver supra (he posted pics on the forum somewhere). I've seen it up close and really don't think it works at all. Edit: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=108718 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 If you're going to do it, do it proper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFuture Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 oooh them are much too dark, i was only considering very slight difference almost opaque style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 There is more Supras with stripes. One is red with white stripes, but i forgot guys name and second is Ariana's one. Beauty is eye of beholder, so "no tastefull" is Homers personal opinion I've seen it in flesh and can say I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some ways I'd agree with you, but there is such a thing as having taste, thats quite different to the styling preference of the moment. Most of the Savo massive think their Veilside-esque bodykits look good, that doesn't make them tasteful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFuture Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 im in 2 minds anyway and if i did do it they would be only a shade darker than the silver paint anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I don't know what it is, but if they're on any car other than an AC Cobra, GT40 or Viper they just look wrong IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I once had the same urge to adorn my car with sticky back plastic but my friends together with the helpful folks at mkivsupra.net showed me the light and persuaded me to step away from the vinyl cutter. Don't do it. Although I do like Simons car and Muffermans too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Ah, the good old stripe fest of Le Mans 2005/6... It was a right PITA in 2006 as we put them on on the hottest day of the year and they stretched. Getting them off was a nightmare that year too so we decided we couldn't be arsed this year and went for flames instead. We did think about union jack flames but it was going to be too expensive.

bromy Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I'm not a fan of car graphics but I have added a very subtle one to the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIL Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 do it .... do it ..... do it ...... Well thats my opinion, but then again I have done it..... Actually I did it just to see what it would look like and to be honest the pictures dont do it justice as it looks better in the flesh. However, I did only do it as an excersise and they may be coming back off shortly.....problem is it will then look like the many thousands of other silver supras on the road again and I wont get spotted as much! If you are going to have a go then I have 3 tips: 1. get wider stripes than mine at least 8-9" wide 2. put them closer together eg about a 2-3" gap 3. set asside most of your day as getting it on the car straight, cut to size etc is a long job.
