  • Racing Stripe! My favorite mod yet!

    I've always wanted to do stripes on a white Festiva... I didn't want to paint and make it look cheap, so I bought a 24' vinyl kit. I had never done one before, but I can't quit grinning with how it looks! What do you guys think?

                      Yes. Add another on the drivers side, equal distance from center.

                        I like the single stripe. I see lots of cars with stripes that just don't quite pull it off, I think your car looks great!

                          It's not a Camaro... No two striping it for me. And I read up, there is no basis for drivers side vs. passenger. I like it. Glad you guys do as well! The top where it's the biggest was a little tough to keep straight, and without bubbles. I might redo the top tomorrow. The key is, keeping it REALLY wet. There is a Youtube video of how to do it.

                              It's not just a stripe. It's a "gravity waveguide". Greg is right, it adds power.
