Default Stripes on a 3.7?

Just curious how the general public thought about stripes on a 3.7. Will it be bashed as a poser of the gt500? Have you ever seen stripes on a 3.7?

That's not posing at all. Posing would be putting a Cobra emblem on your car. Stripes can be on any car with any trim level. It's just an accessory. What color stripes are you thinking?

I am all for doing whatever you like, it's your car and screw what anyone else says

I knew someone who took their v6 Camaro and made it look exactly like an SS, they even went to the extent of putting a custom plate.. "NOTNSS" People gave him a good amount of crap, but it was what he liked and at the end of the day, it was respected

V6 and SS Camaros can look exactly alike from the factory in most cases anyway. Those RS package cars look identical to SS except for the badges.

Speaking of that, you can get stripes on V6 Camaros and Challengers from the factory. Not poserish at all.

Ya its just stripes. I would definitely say you would be trying to be a poser if you got some Shelby lettering or put a cobra badge on the car.

I have a white 3.7. I was going to put stripes on it myself but I chickened out and ended up just putting hash marks on the hood.

It'd look okay Nate, depending on what color you plan on doing. Anything in mind?

Stripes are good, and it's only posing if you put badges on it.

I was thinking like dark gray stripes would look good with my black exterior - and nothing to fancy.

Ghost stripes are always cool.

Here's my old '05, with matte black Shelby stripes on it. Everyone seemed to dig the stealth factor.
