I am looking at adding racing stripes to my Impulse Blue GTO. Just curious on everyone's opinion of adding them or not (any negative consequences)? and what color (black or white)? Thanks.

I have white racing stripes (with "GTO" cut out of part of it on the hood) on my red GTO. They were already on the car when I saw it on the lot (dealer installed). I probably wouldn't have bought the car if it didn't have them, it really turned the GTO from a "Grand Am clone" into somthing really special. That's my opinion anyway.

I say go for it! Pin stripes on the other hand...Well, to each his own there, I guess.

If anybody has a picture of an Impulse Blue with racing stripes, can you please post it for me to see? I really want racing stripes but ONLY if it looks good. I would hate to not like it after doing it. Thanks.

Could you post a picture of your stripes? I'd really like to see what you mean when you say that "GTO" is cut out of the stipes. I can sort of picture it in my head but a pic would be great!

I have black "SS" style stripes on my Yellow Jacket Goat. I like it.

racing stripes

Regarding the question of white or black stripes on an impulse blue GTO, I would offer my opinion that white would look better. As far as racing stripes making the GTO not look like a "Grand Am clone," I bought my silver GTO in an attempt to be stealthy.

I have a layer of Zaino drying right now, I'll take a picture of the stripes when I take the polish off in a little while.

kevracer, I think the car looks fantastic even without the stripes. I probably would have bought it either way, but the stripes just sealed the deal for me.

Ok, here are some pics I took of the stripes. Sorry the pictures are awful, but it was kind of dark outside and my camera is really old.

Nice pictures

Nice pictures Rollins! That is a good looking GTO!

Your car looks SWEET. Thanks for the pics.

I think the stripes look real good too!

 

[RyGarg]

Yes very beautiful Rollins. Thanks for the pics. Almost gives the car a whole new look.

Rollins,
While personally not a big fan of red cars in general...
your GTO is sweet and enough to change my mind !!!!!

Wow, thanks for all the positive feedback, I'm glad so many of you like it! Do the stripes count as a "mod" or are mods only performance-related modifications?

Groucho, I like the way your stripes go to the end of the hood! How do you think they would look if they just went a little farther down and terminated with the grill ? I think it would great and be real "clean"
