Thinking strongly about doing gray fender stripes like how sleepyalero did (http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad58/natesalero/2f8c4eac.jpg). I'll get a good picture and photoshop it, but from my preliminary 'shops it looks pretty damn good IMO. I'll put pictures in this post tonight.

OLD PIC, QUICK PHOTOSHOP

i like the look of them if they aren't a drastic color difference, like neon green on a red car subtle would be cool

glad you like it Ion, i got it from the grand ams :) i need my car though so i can see them with the 18s on... mmmm

one day when i have the car repainted, ill have em painted on, instead of decal.

i always thought about it on the alero after seeing ga's with it, after i put it on, i knew it wasnt coming off lol cause i like it alot, just to bad i wont be the only alero with em anymore :( but it happens lol!

Ive seen a 70's bmw with fender stripes stock so I doubt its a vette thing

same with mustangs

it's an old race car identification thing, cars would have different color stripes so pit crews could ID what car is which more quickly on their way in to the pit

But is it functional?

jk no I think it looks ok but I would rather see it without the body kit

Edited. Post I was replying to is too ambiguous to assume intent.
