Those stripes haven't gotten any more appealing from the SEMA show.

My favorite kind of racing stripes that I wish they offered:

Mine too, but I think they're going to make us buy the next ACR to get it. Probably a smart move on their part!

I've been awfully tempted to put a driver's stripe on my black TA but it really is an ACR thing, and I thought the orange might not be what I would like. My preferred red on black wouldn't work with the orange accents, so I might have to buy an ACR to get it right...damn :)

The best combo I've seen so far hands down, IMHO.

Terrible. A lot of Jeep guys have been doing this to the 12+ SRTs. Looks awful

I have a black TA2.0 inbound, thinking about doing that single driver stripe in orange. I think it would bad-ass! Would be quite costly to do properly though, $3K+? Could cheap out and do Vinyl like the Vette comes with probably for $200 lol.

Was the painter's wife pregnant and go into labor mid-stripe?

If they were going for the unfinished/incomplete look, they nailed it.

Yep. Looks good on a Viper. Anything else is just poser crap. Even though SRT put one on the Jeep that Sabine drove around the ring, it still looks wrong on anything other then a Viper.

My LE is my first car ever with stripes (NEVER been a stripe guy) absolutely LOVE my LE. Those on the 15 GT are probably the worst stripes I have ever seen, and the reason I was never a "stripe" guy. I was telling my brother inlaw this morning that the stripes on my LE scream you want to race :drive:

Totally agree - this combination is so sick I might think twice about getting Slate / Silver stripes in a 1 of 1 if they make this White/Black/Red

I think that would look cool if you could get it done right. You could probably try vinyl first to see if you like the look and then have it painted. I have had those same thoughts, but have 2 concerns, getting it done correctly and wondering if it will diminish the value of a numbered TA. Decisions decisions...

I don't think good, professionally done vinyl is "cheaping out." I think it will look great and isn't much thicker than paint. A good shop can bury the painted stripe for you and make it totally level but that is along the lines of 12 grand (Eeek!) I wouldn't consider it removable though. As a test to see if you want it painted, sure it is. But if you leave it on there for years and think it can just be removed and taken back to stock you could be in for a shock. Even if you don't have a ton of miles on it, you will probably notice some UV fade and other slight wear that shows perfectly where the stripe was but as a negative.

Obviously this is way more of an issue out here in Arizona in terms of UV. But I don't think of vinyl stripe as totally removable with no trace of its existence.

Too bad they could not afford to stripe the entire car.

I think you are dead on right about it being an ACR thing. It always sort of pisses me off when I see that stripe on the Chargers.
