RogerS Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I was just courious at to just how many have selected to place fender stripes on their cars. I realize they are not for everyone but starting a new thread for just pictures of finished cars should be pretty interesting. So post up your best pictures of your stripes! Maybe a "fender stripe club" roll call. Did your earn your stripes today? Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyingbadgers2001 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Just curious and I don't mean to sound like a noob, but do the stripes represent anything? Does it have traditional/historical meaning. -FB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogerS Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Just curious and I don't mean to sound like a noob, but do the stripes represent anything? Does it have traditional/historical meaning. -FB In the early days of FIA and SCCA, team cars would be painted similar colors. The fender stripes were a means of identification when the cars would be zipping down the front straight at over 120 MPH. This was prior to 2-way radio communication and when the pit crew would stand at the front straight wall and hold up signs to notify drivers of their positon, lap times or to pit etc. I have recently found out when the quesion was asked to Carroll as to why the stripes were painted on the early Cobra's his reply was to know what car it was and who was driving. That's it. Everyone has there own theory, but as you can see it was just that simple. Just an early nostalgic touch brought back to the "new gen" Shelby's. Some like it some don't. You have to admit, they do make that front fender "jump out" at you. And set at that angle it gives the perception of speed. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07hoss Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I have been thinking about the side stripe but doing mine in a one inch size in the color of silver on a black SGT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 The silver looks good and keeps the color consistant but I think that once you see it on the car it will appear too small. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07hoss Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Just added my 1" stripes along with my SGT number on the front bumper. Just a tad bit subtle tell me what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
