BA Stripe Kit

[Smoke Pursuit]

Hey guys!

Just wondering what the cost is for the BA stripes on the Mark II GT/GTP range? I think they would make a nice addition to my modded XR6.

Thanks,

Shockwave XR6 NA

Don't do it mate, you've set yourself up for one hell of a ribbing.

Well i seen a few pics of Ratts car and have fallen in love with the stripes..

[RSgerry]

this arguement popped up a while ago. a lot of people didnt like the stripes on the XR range, but my local dealer puts them on just about all of the XRs and i really like them. i am undecided about the stripes on the side of the bulge, but thsat wont affect you anyway. IMO, if you like the stripes, go right ahead.

aight, ive heard about this "discussion" before, alot of people think that GT/GT-P stripes should only belong on a GT/GT-P hence tahts why theyre called GT stripes and not XR stripes.

Now i have to admit that when put on an XR8 it gets a bit confusing to me as to whether im looking at a XR or a GT/GT-P as im driving past, and i know alot of people put them on to make people think they own a GT/GT-P. Its not only them that do it, alot of people try to make their cars something theyre not.

IMHO i think that if the owner is happy with it then it shouldnt really matter what other people think, cause you obviously didnt buy the car because you want your friends and other people to like you now did you? so why modify your car to other peoples liking???

got a gut feeling????? then follow it i say

BTW that bonnet bulge sticker looks pretty sweet :P

What colour is the car?
i like some of the colour combo's but some not so much.

[klawsterfobik]

I think the stripes look good. Maybe consider a different version, with two thinner stripes either side of the "fat" ones, just so it doesnt look like you'r trying to knock off the GT''s. You'll probably find that you like the ones that you created more! and then it will be really individual car.

As for cost, i have no idea. Check out some vinyl sticker places, give them the dimensions and they should be able to provide you with a rough price. Id think ~$200. Theres a fair bit of material involved.

[champsky]

yeah 200 should be a decent amount for both sides, provided the stripes arent too fat lol

[Duffman]

You can get them fairly cheap. I got a set for $30 but never put them on my car. They appeared really good quality and the guy was originally selling them for $220 but eh he didnt manage that price on ebay. I haven't seen him list them again.

The colour of the car is Shockwave. Colour of the stripes would be the factory silver colour.

[TIKFD6]

Hahahah sorry mate, i didnt even realise your colour was in your nic.
:(
They would look good in my opinion.

[tickford2001]

shockwave and silver look good together

but im not totally convinced on stripes on the XRs, they dont look quite right, think its got something to do with the body kit styling

I'll agree with that statement to.

[TIKFD6]

Personal opinion on ones car.
Im not a huge fan of grey belts on ea/d's but they are there.
:P

[tickford2001]

thats it...all about personal taste, and if you like something and want to do it to your car then do it! who gives a stuffola what anyone else thinks - its your car, if you like it DO IT!

[TIKFD6]

I admire someone who is prepared to go it alone and do mods that people say will looks crap.
As most of the time those same people come around and say it looks great.

Its got me Stuffed.

[AUsome]

Yeh mate, if you think they'd look good, go for it! I mean look at all the AU's with the T3 kits and all the executives with clubby kits etc. Wouldn't that be doing the same thing? I sa a phantom purple AU2 XR with GT stipes onit too NYE.

[Feathers]

It's got to look better than the EL I saw in Burwood with the stripes.

[paul7v7]

nah don't do it...please don't do it..

[Dez]

if ya not puttin GT badges, or GT in the stripes, go for it. personally i think they suit the GT's kit a lot more, but thats just me. they dont look bad on the other models, and i've seen quite a few of them around here. black stripes on a blueprint XR6. black on an SR, and it would look mean if he color coded his side moulding....it looks like a 3rd stripe, but totally out of place.

[Vile Merchant]

Those 'iron-on' stripes are in poor taste no matter what the car. GT included! They remind me of a guy in primary school whos mum sewed adidas stripes to his jeans! :P

[TIKFD6]

There is a Ghey Organza AU getting around here with Black stripes.
:(

hehe very true. I say what ever makes the owner happy is what they should do. Seek advice if required but don't let others make the decision.

[Falcon Coupe]

Im all for GT stripes on a GT only, any XR / Xt with GT stripes is a TRYHARD in my opinion.

[Smoke Pursuit]

So Ratt what was the cost involved??
