Bye Bye Stripes!

[GhostDakota]

So, last Friday, I gave in to my thoughts since Day 1 when I purchased the car (May of last year). I removed the hood stripes on Friday, the spoiler upper stripes on Saturday. I need to remove the spoiler lower stripes, and hatch stripes when I have some free time.

[WildBillyT]

Your car looks great.

The Dodge Dakota with Grand Sport stripes should burn.

[MyFirstZ]

looks perfect.

[maroman88]

looks good either way

[GhostDakota]

Thank ya fella's! The Dakota is an R/T, 5.9L 360 motor. It's not too shabby for a pickup.

Your car looks great.

I kinda liked the stripes.

JW :D

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Both look good, but I agree with JW. It set the car apart.

i would have kept just the front ones.. they would look good no??

[NjbadSS]

Looks much better and cleaner without them

[shadowfire]

with the way it looks now if you had ghost purple flames it would look sick

[MyFirstZ]

Only stripes I would do would be flat black

[baddest434]

no offense i liked the stripes better. it now looks like the 9 billion other black tran ams out there.

[GhostDakota]

Stripes WILL be back, just not white. I'm going for either darker blue, darker red, or matte black. I'm thinking matte black at the moment would look best. I have the other TA to get up and running now first..

Can't wait to see some real photography!

Matte Black on Black always looks sick

Here are my two purdy cars side by side (dirty though) - cell phone shots:

I took a few shots with my D2x and 70-300 VR just a few seconds ago, but both cars are dirty so I make no promises on how nice it looks :P

Personally, I'm glad those stripes are gone, the stripes on the spoiler and hatch did not match the hood design. Looks much cleaner now IMO. Good job!

[MyFirstZ]

I'll be doing a matte black manta on my car soon. The guy who did my clear bra is doing it.

So I'm biased to matte black stripes

ant, i think i may have the flat black manta stripe from when i had my black car. never got around to putting the hood on bc the accident, if i still have it ill bring it to mikes for ya

[MyFirstZ]

That would be sick.

[sweetbmxrider]

[greenformula92]

matte black on black stripes always look good.

I always loved the TTII's on TA's.

[RiggsLW81]

i liked the white stripes on the ram air hood, perfectly accentuates it.. i woulda kept them but taken off the stripes off the rear portion of the car.

i would go darker blue as the new stripe color..from the current color palate ur debating on.
