Side Racing stripes?
Anyone got any pics or know anything for side racing/decal stripes? Those sharpe edges on the tsx are begging to be highlighted with some black on a white TSX.

Something like this?

Ah, the Honda FC Sport...you used a horrible example. LOL.

I wouldn't do it, personally.

Racing stripes on a non-race ready car seems a bit too "rice" for me. Especially since the TSX has classy lines, almost none are for "aerodynamic" attributes.

If you do the racing stripes make sure you add the "a-pillar" decals AND green underglow neon.

Like...forever ago, when the first Fast & Furious movie came out, I was thinking of doing a mural down the side of my Q45 of me with a Marlboro in one hand and a Fosters oil can in the other, pointing in the distance, like the car in F&F.

I remember "falling in love" with the Eagle design and overall Mitsubishi Eclipse in the first F&F movie. So much that I found a company who sold it and was determined to get it.

The '09 leases are up so those are going for cheap

Upside is more people, more aftermarket support!

Like these below? There was one guy who had them on here a while back. Much like this thread everyone including myself made fun of him. The TSX isn't an American muscle car...
