Looking into getting some kind of stripe on my z4, need opinion!

paintdude258 · 05-28-2008, 09:12 PM

Ive been searching around for some cool stuff i could do to my z4 and had noticed a few cars that looked really good with racing stripes. but i have never really seen any z4's with stripes. so i wanted to see what peoples opinions would be on getting some kind of racing stripes, and what color and type of stripes yall think would look best!
Any opinions would GREATLY be appreciated.

unless your car is fast- i wouldnt do something like that

F87LUV · 05-28-2008, 09:31 PM

oh photoshop is your friend btw

wasupdu · 05-28-2008, 09:36 PM

there's a car on here (or maybe z4-forum.com) that has a racing stripe.

paintdude258 · 05-28-2008, 09:58 PM

Ya my cars def not that fast compared to some other bimmers, but if someone could find that picture of the z4 with the stripe, that would be great!

paintdude258 · 05-28-2008, 09:59 PM

And Im not so familiar with photoshop!

noo stripe...it look's good w/o it...

soeharyo · 05-29-2008, 01:28 AM

but still... it begs the question, why not?

rc'Z · 05-29-2008, 05:08 AM

It's your car, go ahead. Racing stripes have nothing to do with how fast your car is or ain't. If I were to put stripes on a BMW it would be the three color purple/blue/red M colors. Look at the pics at the some of the Bimmerfests to get an idea. Be unconventional, stand out from the crowd. Enjoy your ride!

Ummmmmmmmm...... let me know when dodge vipers get vinyl tops instead of their racing stripes and you can argue with me. My grille is temporary until I can make it totally black.

Obviously its his car & he can do what he wants but usually racing stripe= fast car.

I guess six cylinder Mustangs and non-S Mini Coopers don't know the law concerning racing stripes

F87LUV · 05-29-2008, 09:28 AM

Ok rephrase when i think of racing stripe i think fast car... dodge viper, ferrari 430, chevelle or any old muscle car.... damnnnnn homies, back up

rc'Z · 05-29-2008, 09:37 AM

It's an age thing, MG, Triumph, Austin Healy, SAAB, Sunbeam Tiger....

F87LUV · 05-29-2008, 09:41 AM

are you calling me old?

rc'Z · 05-29-2008, 09:44 AM

No, I am, that's why I remember the old sports cars and you don't.

nyczyang27 · 05-29-2008, 09:47 AM

I would agree with zgirl.. racing stripes makes me think very fast car. It wouldnt look too "right" on a non-M z4 imo.

F87LUV · 05-29-2008, 09:47 AM

I see.

Traxxer · 05-29-2008, 09:58 AM

I'd consider stripes more of a style thing, just like the aero kits and rear spoilers. Your car, your decision. The car on z4-forum.com belongs to zee42. Here's two of his pics.

155mph is not fast, 165 is fast; 0-60 in 5.1 is not fast, 0-60 in 4.7 is fast; good to learn this stuff.

Not really, none of the BMW street cars are fast, that is the 190+ mph club, Z-06, Porsche, for instance. But who is measuring?
