    What do you guys think of them on a GP GTP? I was thinkin about getting some in the spring possibly and I want to know what people think about them. I would probably get some like these, just 2 black stripes down the center. grand prix se 1998 with kobat body kit - allardville, New Brunswick Kinda makes it look like a viper from the front when you first look at it.

    Custom designed for the car. 100.00 + S/H. It depends on the material used however.

    Right back at ya. I'm usually not partial to white but yours is one of the nicest I've seen. Great work.

    Good question, I wondered the same thing. I've seen some look great and some that just shoulnt have done it. A lot depends on the hood, color and style of the car.

    In my opinion Only!!! I Do like the stripes on the maroon GP. Normally, I don't like racing stripes on a GP.
    I dont like maroon or racing stripes on a GP, but there is something about that one I really like!! It's one of my favorite GP's on here.

    Ive seen it in person and it is a sharp looking car. Thats the only car I've seen done like that. The stripes in the scoops really sets it off. Good example of what I mean. certain cars certain colors look incredible.

    All nice looking cars! Normally not a big one for most racing stripes (I love hash marks though). White one is done very clean. Redfire GP is beautiful and I love the paint scheme. Red one reminds me of Trans Am stripes (anniversary ones maybe?)

    I did the stripes myself, I have a family friend that owns a business and they have a vinyl cutting machine, I just bought metallic silver material and cut them, probably cost me around 40 bucks but it was a few years ago. I will say they were a pain to put on as I was anal to be sure they were as straight as I could make them, the worst part of the car was the back.. ended up just doing sections as I could not get the stripes to go over the spoiler or mold to the back of the trunk. here is a picture of the back.
