    Default Track stripes

    After seeing another perfectly good VE SS ruined on the forum, who thinks track stripes should be a prohibited item?

    Perhaps an infringement could be issued by the police for such crimes against nice cars.

    I might get some t-shirts made up.

    Do you agree? Vote in the poll.

    Ever noticed that all the VE's with the stripes are always the least modded Same as fords with the GT stripes, always seems to be a stock N/A XR6.

    I enjoy the FPV stripes along the sides. They look like they were meant to be there

    personally i can't see anything wrong with someone wanting to improve the look of their car whether i agree or not. I laugh at ricers as well but i don't have a problem with it (dons flame suit)

    Thats the problem, it doesnt improve the look of their car.

    On certain cars the stripes look good. On the VE SS's they look ugly and out of place and definatly should be outlawed.

    On most cars, no thanks, look ****in shocking.

    Every once and a while, they'r executed perfectly. This is the car he's talking about, and its totally unjustified saying its ruined. It looks nuts (especially how they extend over the lip)

    Oh rly. The stickers are all gone btw.
    I'd take this over any car with chev badges, 350 plates, or clear tail lights!

    Probably doesn't do the car much justice on that shot. He has black 20s aswell, which add to it (personally i hate black wheels that have a chrome lip, but he pulled the look off well)

    Ive noticed most people with track strips(no idea what makes them "track" stripes) all look like stereotypical homosexuals.


    Stealthy, that car looks even worse than a stock SS, i did not think it was possible to make a VE uglier...you have proven with that pic it is possible.

    this would probably be a first minux but i agree with you

    those stripes look bad at the best of times but the way it extends down past the lip just looks like total shit

    track strips say to me "more money than brains or taste"

    unless its a factory option for that car, don't bother.

    is that one of your election policies Malcolm?

    Its all a matter of personal preference...

    We all like different things, think different things look good/bad etc etc....


    Personally, I think SOME of them look alright, if the right colour combo, I like the way those ones go over the lip, but not a fan of the colour choice.. imo..
