New Racing Stripes (and then lost a race!)

I just had these black carbon fiber and fiery orange rallys installed. After picking the car up I was feeling pretty stout when I noticed a new 911 Carrera S next to me at a light. I figured I’d just stay next to him and only punch it if he did, which after a brisk roll through the intersection, he did exactly that. Fast forward a few seconds and let’s just say my feeling stout came to a quick halt after failing to reel him back in and even lose some ground....didn’t realize those things are that quick! Oh well, for around twice the price of the SS, I don’t feel too ashamed...lol. Anyway, I’m sure the stripe combination won’t be for everyone, but I wanted a bit of color to “break up the nightfall”, so to speak and am very pleased with the pattern and color combination. Hope you all enjoy the pics...

I kind of like the stripes. I almost bought a Porsche 911 Carrera S before my Camaro. I will own a 911 eventually, but my Camaro and Corvette make me pretty happy. They don't break my wallet either.

Thanks.... and yes, I enjoyed my C6 coupe for 5 years and sold it 6 months ago. It is nice having back seats again though even if they are child sized

I agree that NGM paint looks good with some color added

The NGM looks amazing with the orange. I may be a bit biased, though.

Lol....Yeah, I saw the 50th car’s orange style cues when researching ideas, and although I don’t recall seeing the color combo in person, I like the combo even better “live”.

3200lb twin turbo 420hp 0-60 in 3.1 sec.

Wrong car to play with

But I bet it was fun.

Really like the orange. Good job.

I'm usually the "less is more" type, but man, that looks REALLY good! Very tastefully done. That might be one of the most original "looks" I have seen as far as stripes are concerned, and you pulled it off extremely well. Color choices are perfect.

Wow....thanks so much! My goal was to make it look like a life sized Hot Wheels car with a somewhat conservative twist.

Thanks - and yes it was fun, despite the outcome!
