Ok...since they are putting a new bonnet on Bubb's, I thought it would be a prime time to think about putting on some custom stripes instead of the dealer's version.....

Still a little confused which way to go...looked at a bunch of the stripes threads and still confused....I kind of favor a couple approaches, but really like the wide, Cobra style stripe down the middle with 2 smaller stripes on each side.....I'm taking votes here...here's your chance to have a say in what Bubbles will look like!

Cobra stripes will definitely add 10 hp! But that will also decrease your mileage. Aesthetically I think that's a great choice!

I agree. Go with the cobra. Then continue down the boot. Bubbles will be smokin' hot!

Looking at the pics, for me, I think the width of the wide stripe makes a big difference...the wider the better!

Aren't I on the right tangent here, CJ?

ALL: What Say You to this?

I had a brain wave last night (give me a break, it's been a few years!). Instead of bonnet stripes....take black vinyl, starting at the grill...black "flames" that come out of the grill, over the bonnet and front fender, down the side to about mid-door.........

Do you think this would be hideous? My kindergarten drawings suggest that it's an interesting concept.....WHAT SAY YOU?

I thought CJ was standing on top of the car, a little inebriated...hence her green flesh tone and the toga!!!

Um, I think you will have to scan and post your concept dennis, so we can make a fair assessment (and mock your drawing abilities )

NFR and MOTD

Hey There,

Its been a while but I thought I would pop in and see if any other NFRs are going to MOTD?

I decided to take advantage of my temporary east coast location and go check it out.

And Cin will finally have her personalized plates next week. It only took six months and a special trip back to LA to get them. But it will be great to have them for MOTD.

I want to go but by the time I heard about it, there was no more room at the Inn. So I'm planning on a trip out there next year. Most of the people from my club that are attending are flying out and bumming rides. I want to drive out and make it a real vacation next year! So report back and represent the NFRs well! I was the only NFR at AMVIV! We are just soooo special!
