A few days ago I saw a white Saleen ('05 or '06) with two fat black stripes running over hood, roof, trunk, etc. like the old mustangs used to have and it looked really good.

Okay, I don't have the $$ right now, but am wondering about putting silver stripes on my car. Would love to get the feedback of the Saleen-loyal (I'm thinking Saleenanistas? Saleenazzi?). Is striping a Saleen sacrilege? Tacky? A fabulous idea? You wouldn't do it, but there's nothing wrong with it? Hurt resale? Just in case I win the lottery and have a bunch of extra cash laying around...

Thanks in advance!

If you like the looks do it. It is your car.

Here's a pic of a similar car (just disregard all that extreme and 640 crap plastered all over it...)

Way to Shelby-like. I can't remember any Saleens with stripes on the top and I dont think they should if you keep it "Saleen"

I've always liked the Shelby-looking wide strpes; although, I think I'll keep my Saleen stock.

I really like the stripes, it adds that race ready look to any car, and its not specific to any car. I think the official name of dual wide stripes is LEMANS style, but correct me if I am wrong. As far as doing it to your car, being a SALEEN, I would make sure you get them painted on, the money is well worth it. Vinyl stripes used on cars today have a life of about 5 to 7 years before they begin to chip and come up. But it's just my 2 cents

Cheers!

should have filled in the white SALEEN with blue to make it readable, with the opposite contrast

or to keep the stripe more "saleen looking" make the blue stripe on that white car a single wide stripe (space between the 2 stripes are distracting) and on the hood the saleen logo (like the one on the steering wheel) oriented sideways to make it the center stripe on the hood

hhhmmm??? I think I'll try and photoshop this and see how it looks

Yes and I believe the Saleenazzi are the Italian contingent....
