Noooooooooo. Not on this car.

What, you don't think it'll look cool when the deployable rear spoiler goes up? :lol

I haven't been as excited about the reintroduction of a car since this.

Stripes are gonna be a real pain with the complicated shape in the back.

View attachment 37091

They almost look too wide for the proportions of the car. Ford did one year of the GT500 with really skinny stripes that were too narrow.

The shape of the back will also make it difficult to place the roundel/number.

I'm not above juvenile racing stripes (I have 4 striped cars), but they are just wrong on this car. Reminds me of this:

Hey, Cueball, what do you have against mustaches? (For the rest of you, you have to see us both)

I think a single stripe would be better. Thanks DBK

In my opinion this car does not need stripes... the lines and shapes are more than enough to look at... Stripes on this car are a mistake. The Phoenix looks best in a solid color.

Ditto on the solid colors! Just seems right for this car. Too much going on to add stripes.

Definitely thinking Stripes aren't gonna be the thing on this car.

I think it looks pretty good but it retro-izes a very non-retro car. Need to see some high tech looks.
