Opinions please.
 
So... I started thinking... How would flat black racing stripes look on Mr. Burns? What are you thoughts? Please share your opinions, and if some one could, please do a photoshop. Thanks!

Dunno, not a real big fan of flat paint on a shiney car. How about ghosting them in, make them a dark graphite instead... always been into the ghost flames and such. I think ghost rally stripes would be pretty cool but that's just one mans opinion. Keep us informed!

IDK...

I think at times it would look pretty sharp, but it could also at times look like a poor paint job. What about those reflective black stripes? Though it's vinyl, it will really pop at night.

Don't want it reflective...

Just to give ideas.

That 2nd to last picture, the rustang before the camaro, isn't that a reflective striping?

I agree though that it does look good... It would definitely be unique for the Monte and that Mr. Burns would be an AWESOME contender for it.

Now you really have me thinking... and I do think it would look pretty good. Because it would be so subtle, yet so nice when you realize it.

EXACTLY!!! I love that. I love noticing things that don't really get noticed or take a while for people to see and when they do, they say, "nice touch" or "wow!"

That's why I have the black SS overlays, the third brake light decal, and the SS headrests. They're small, but they add up. And that's why I want the black bow tie emblems, bow tie valve stems caps, GM pedals, and bow tie door sills, because that's different and it's subtle so it isn't noticed right away, but when it is it pulls everything together.

Thanks for the opinions.

Agree, rally stripes are too big to be reflective, ...but the thin line like those people are doing on the 2000-2005 "Earnhardt/Intimidator/and clones" to seperate the ground effects... That might be sharp. Realize that's not what your asking about, just sayin'.

The pics you put up Rick do look nice. And I'm sure Mr. Burns will be stylin' whatever you do decide on. Its not exactly what I'd do but, I'm cheap and pretty unadventurious anyhow.:p

i would do it, i think it looks hot bro...

if my car was black, you better believe it would do it!

RickAKATed10 09-08-2009 04:34 PM

Thanks for the additional opinions guys. Always appreciated and welcomed. Keep 'em coming, and I'm still waiting on the photoshop! lol
