Ralley stripes on 3rd Gen TL

I've been wanting to do this to my car for a while. If any of you have them can you post pics. I'd even be happy with photochop pics just to get an idea of what they would look like. I'm talking the style that a 1969 camaro had, but gloss not flat black. I appreciate any help.

Let me ask this question again. Does anybody have pictures. I do not want oppinions. I don't care what anybody thinks it will look like. My oppinion is the only one that matters. Somebody on here has to have photoshop. Can one of you throw a pic together.

I have a pretty open mind usually but this is not a good look for a TL. Classic muscle car...yes, TL...no.

Anyways if you do get it done, have it done in vinyl so you can easily remove them if you change your mind.

Thanks for being the only one here to post a decent reply. I think the others on here don't like the idea because its never been done. I personally have never seen a TL with those stripes. To the other members, take a look on google at a camaro with those stripes. It might look good if done from the hood to the trunk. No bumpers. Then istall the body kit. I want to get an idea, not an oppinion of what it will look like. Good suggestion on the vynal.

It looks good on a camaro because it is a camaro. A lot of people do stuff like that to their car because they want the best of both worlds. Personally, I think it is ricey, immature and overall a mistake to put RALLY STRIPES on a semi-luxo vehicle. But I digress ... if you like how the following pictures look, go for it.





maybe you can get some custom flames as well

Whats the difference nobody was being helpful anyway. One guy has the program needed and clearly said no he will not help so there is no sense to continue the discussion. I'll talk so friends of mine that do body work and see if they can come up with something. I'm done with this thread and will not reply to it anymore.
