LOL, any stripes as long as they dont take attention away from the car itself, only add to it!

wish mine would come up better in photos, but the gold pearl just doesn't for some reason!

black does look superb...when it's clean. Trouble is, keeping it clean - I was constantly washing and waxing my black R33

Sorry, a bit off the topic, what is the type/name of the front bar on the 33 GTSt (silver with the grey stripes) RRAGE posted? Damn that front bar is sexy!

i wouldn't mind knowing what those skirts are either...

true that! spent heaps of time on mine when it was black.. but it would only stay clean for about an hour

i love the limited edition midnight purple II on R34 GTR's. Its sorta chameleon gold to dark purple... looks nuts.

Also like subtle shade differences in decals eg If I had a silver car I'd choose a decal that was 20% darker than that. with black cars the reverse applies, 20% lighter.

I hate stripes on cars that aren't meant to have stripes, ie most jap cars. Stripes are a heritage thing, moderna's have stripes, mustangs have stripes, they're meant to be earnt by heritage and class. Smack a stripe on a honda and it looks out of place.

Subtlety is the best design feature ever. I also go ga-ga for deep black paintjobs that are uber shiney n glossy that it looks like glass.

this has a bit of heritage IMHO

I've been thinking of doing something similar with R34 - long nismo style stripe down the side of the car, perhaps in silver, about 5cm wide...like the group A car above, only without the Nissan text...

I'll pay that... the mines stripe or the nismo stripe (or even the winfield stripe) is heritage... but they're stripes down the top of the side panels, or drift stripes as they are known now (since most major tuners in japan have their stipe colour schemes) from mines to jun to signal...

I am not a fan of stripes, but i am diggin the look of Melv's car.

Black skylines are the best. There's one at my work! It is so hot...worst colour on a skyline is blue. BTW hey how are u all?

I'm fine urself?

[funkymonkey]

lol i have a black un, and i've lost keeping it clean battle, so now i make my decals out of dirt

[Autech]

I'd have to say I love purple...it's filth.

[Kor'axis]

purple's not a nice colour unless it's really deep and supported by some "black" neons!
