Waxed my car! oh and ...pinstripes

[JamesE30]

So, I had some automotive striping tape left over from class, and decided to try lay down some nice consistant stripes on the car.
Undecided on keeping them, but I love the colours and the 80's ..ness of them.

I'd thought about changing slightly, ie: stopping them just short of the front grills, or turning them up the front fender and into the hood shutline (aka motorsport stripes).
I'm 99% on removing the stripes on the grills.











Fark photobucket really killed the quality resizing these ones!

Money! Definitely don't like them on the grilles, tho.

[Ray Smoodiver]

Looks grouse!

Get rid of the the ones on the grille though.

[JamesE30]

Took the grill stripes off just now, I like it better already! Cheers guys

Lovin it. But you gotta do something about that pea shooter exhaust!! Its not doing your mtech valance any justice!

Alpina color pattern stripes :p

I would like them better with sides only, no trunk stripe.

Cheers guys

It's a dual exhaust (hard to see in the pics), but I agree with you it doesn't do the valence any justice, I'll likely weld some polished/chromed tips on in the future.

Is it just me or do those pinstripes make the car look so much more boxy than it already is? Mostly the rear stripe.

I was gonna say leave the grilles, I thought the whole thing looked good... Was there any questions about wax, or just about the stripes?

No lol, wax is definitely FTMFW. I was unsure about the stripes. But I think I'll leave them for a few days, them maybe just remove the trunk stripe for another few days and see how i like that. Thanks for the feedback though!

I like this. Full Alpina scheme?

[87e30]

I don't like it. Also agree on how boxy it makes the rear end look.

You have a freaking clean and sweet car though!

[Bishop]

I love it all, I want to see pics sans grill stripe though... The rear is awesome I think. Really subtle

I agree with this. I was debating on doing those stripe colors a while back, making me want to do them again.
