Re: VR6 Cabrio? --> Stripping

["Adam Lindsay" <adam@mindex.com>]

Hey does anyone have 30k I could borrow? =}

Stupid question but I have seen all types of stripping on cars but lately I
have seen one in particular. 2 stripes angled...going from the wheel to the
under the hood. Usually one is wide and one narrow. Anything to this or is
just because it looks cool...I have painted all my badges yellow on my black
GLX and was thinking that 2 yellow strips like this could look cool....might
get extra 5 hp out of it.

But in all honesty if I is like some symbol for a car club out there or
something, I will not do it.
