rayner22- I just had a signwriting shop make mine up and that's all you need to do- just find one that is enthusiastic about doing it......

they'd work out as much as the FPV option on the GT's for cost, take about a day to do and done right, would look great.

What are you putting them on mate?

(flattered everyone likes them, thanks!)

LOL my car looks exactly like your's except mines in monsoon blue (SR with TE50 kit), I've wanted to do either stripes or airbrushing for ages but had to talk the missus into it :
After I got the kit done i just wanted something more and well, new rims just didnt stop the craving lol
There is a TL50 lookalike around here locally thats got a chrome spider all the way up its side but thats a lil bit too rice for my liking!!
And airbrushing for what I wanted was gonna cost nearly 2 grand DOH!!

I used to be one of the loud and proud advocates of striping only for the factory specs cars, but things change! If I get my way I should soon have my car looking like this (photoshopped only at the moment):



Gotta make it go faster don’t I !! :

OMG ! - I'm gonna puke ..lol , But some will love them and some will hate them ( i think i could handle blue cobra stripes over the body of a white AU maybe, but that pic of those fluro'ish orange stripes on the sides over the blue makes me feel sick..makes the car look cheap...but thats just me )...I'de rather save my $$ and put it into performance mods or a set of nice wheels at first anyway.. But again thats just my 2 cents worth , everyone to their own ;) ..
As far as obtaining some ( bonnet/roof/boot or side stripes ), if you gonna go cheap and make it look like that anyway then you might as well go and get a roll or 2 of colored contact (like used to cover school books !) and cut it to size and stick it on ..lmao ... joking ! ..seriouslly -> alot of places that sell normal pinstriping have varieties of real wide pin striping in various colours , could easily obyain the width and colour , would just need to trim the lenghts . Most performance warehouses sell stuff like this .

Hehe no problems matey, like I said – I used to be totally anti-stripes, but it’s grown on me after seeing them on another AU. So I’m not even original to boot.

FYI I’m done with modding the engine, I got a 1.5k stereo going in shortly, so it’s all exterior mods now…and stripes are definitely down the cheap end of that. I do want a TS50 wing but that won’t be until later cause of the bucks $$

After that I’m going to stop with the mods and just enjoy the car………are mod-bug immunisations available?? :
