This style never made production, they would look cool on a 'custom' AAR;

Maybe you could have some custom made?

I'm definitely going to need more info so I can at least get a visual before I can vote.  Do you have a pic of the stripes??

I like that car! Those wheels look good on it with that color.   :jumping:

I'm biased. But i don't think my car would look half as tough (imo it doesnt look too shabby) without that full black stripe. I vote for a full solid body stripe  :bigsmile: I plan on a black hood (super stock scoop), maybe fendertops and such (like AARs had) witha ducktail spoiler one day. just my .02. good lookin car  :droolingbounce:

I think it looked kickass before you started.

If your doing it the same color as before, just do the AAR hood blackout in either black or a slightly darker silver than the rest of the car.

Looking at the car, I would not install the AAR dovetail, or the front eyebrow spoilers (What John's calling "side splitters I think..." or the strobe unless the hood, fenders and doors receive the full blackout treatment. I'm still waiting to see what the black strobe looks like. The white and yellow look nasty (in a bad way)...lol. I think with the body color hood and fender tops, adding the dove tail, the eye brows, and the strobe would look strange. Grille, lower grille insert, and tailight panel are all done in semi gloss black. I'll make my choice when the stripe arrives.

I like the strobe stripe personally the blackout can go either way in my opinion, but if it was mine, I'd do the hood body color, and the strobe maybe a couple of shades darker painted on, that would be kinda cool, like a ghost strobe stripe
