rtbiscuit Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 ok i might get flamed for this but i'm thinking of getting some racing stripes for my car once the Nismo bodykit is on. partly because i like them and partly as i need to hide some paint damage that i can't be arsed to fix. i was hoping for some ideas on what would suit a blade silver car. the only one i've found is this one i wouldn't have just the stripes but also vinyl up with some other stuff to try and balance it out. i love the look of track prepped cars and would probably do the sun strips, definatly front, not sure on the rear. and would possibly follow the same design as above but maybe use nismo instead of nissan. just looking for some ideas really, anyone seen any really smart wrapped 350z's i know Ekona is pretty decaled up and will possibly post up a pic from his lemans week. and i know someone else on the suffolk run had talked about it, but i need some ideas. i always remember the peugeot rally cars etc. but i want a nissan specific design.

rtbiscuit Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 found Ekonas work, but these colours won't suit the blade silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Why not go for the nismo black and red streaks instead if you really want vinyls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Why not go for the nismo black and red streaks instead if you really want vinyls? it doesn't cover the paint damage i want to hide plus i'm not a fan of them. i know if your going to vinyl a car its got to be an all or nothing attempt, you either make it look like a track sponsored car or don't bother at all. doing it half arsed just looks chavvy.

Below is a pic of the Xanavi 350Z GT Racer You'll deffo need to modify alot of bodypanels for it to look right. Just plastering stickers all over it will make it look cheap and desperate tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
