88BlueTSiquest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 Okay, I see this Shelby Durango darn near every day. And it's really making me want to put racing stripes on the TSi, the Durango is that Blue color that looks close to the same as the Quest, and it has white racing stripes. I really love that look, and I've seen another Blue S/Q with white racing stripes(someone's sig picture or something), so I want to do this to. My question....... 6", 8" or 10" wide stripes?? 6" wide doesn't sound quite wide enough, but 10" almost sounds too wide, I don't know what size I want. Any ideas or suggestions? Oh yes, I'm talking true rallye style stripes, not the off to one side look of the imports. I want that Viper GTS styling ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsi26 Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 I have thought about the same thing. well, except my quest is red and I can't decide between white or black . Anyways, anyone I ask I always get a different answer. Some say do it while other say not. I been thinking the best thing to do is get someone with photoshop to put a couple of stripes on a starquest and hold a vote or something. That my 2 cents anyways.....

Mr._HP Posted July 5, 2002 Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 Here's some pictures of my car with the stripes. They wrap completely from one to the other and I think they look great!! For some reason I don't really like the look of a blue car being just plain blue... I love my other car being a solid color, but wouldn't change my mind on the stripes 8) One bad thing is that you REALLY stand out, and can be spotted from quite a distance. That leads to may speeding tickets as I've come to find out! http://www.tristarion.com/phpBB2/files/83_1025012952.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks alot Mr.HP, I've seen a picture of your car being used as Joel's avatar on Tristarion.com, I was going to try to get ahold of you to ask you about your's. That's the info I needed, and the look I like ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy_85stariones Posted July 7, 2002 Report Share Posted July 7, 2002 I've often wondered how our cars would look with late 60's stripes like... How about along the outside of the crease (of hood) like this late-model Camaro? http://www.stencilsandstripes.com/images/p11.jpg How about dual stripes inside of the crease like this '70 Chevelle? http://www.stencilsandstripes.com/images/p034.jpg How about dual stripes along the outside edges like this late 60's Nova? http://www.stencilsandstripes.com/images/p12.jpg http://www.stencilsandstripes.com/index.shtml http://www.stencilsandstripes.com/gallery.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtQuest Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 I just got my car back from the shop and i had it painted red with white racing stripes, the same as the blue one, 4" apart and 8" thick, and it looks sooooo sweet, i'll get pics up as soon as i can, very good looking, and very eye catching. -ColtQuest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESIrType? Posted August 22, 2002 Report Share Posted August 22, 2002 Do the strips in vinyl (spelling ????? man I'm a tard 2night) If you don't like the you can take them off without hurting the paint.......it also might be cheap the taking it to a paint shop.

quest88_TSI Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 ESIrType - How much did that cost you? I'm assuming painted stipes, right? Can you outline what was done to the quest as far as body work vs cost? Darin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzord30 Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 On the drag car (its White) I want to get some blue stripes like on the old Mustang GT350. Their like 2 4-6 in stripes with about 2-4 in the middle. I think it would look really nice on a White conquest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christobal65 Posted September 16, 2002 Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 I think that a rocker stripe like on the 68' GT500/GT350's would look really good on our cars. I can't see sinking lots of money into vinyl (i cant spell either) until I get my car repainted or at least a new clear coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
