No need for photoshop.

I got bored on the weekend so I spray painted some gold ones on my silver.
While I was at it I sprayed the mirrors gold too.

Ill post pics soon.

I don't think the shape of the s2000 is good for stripes. It's too angular. just leave the factory paint alone and let it shine. Well, maybe one off center stripe but no viper stripes.

After watching the OSU-Michigan game, I noticed how the "gray" on the Bucks' helmets looked an awful lot like Silverstone Metallic. So, I want this color scheme:

But I'd want it removable (ie. magnetic) but since our hood isn't, y'all need not worry!

Regardless I am going to go for it, I ran some pictures through photoshop, looked at several colors, will most likly do a red on white color scheme. Personally I think that strips would have look good on our cars. I did decide on a style I will run two wide main stripe on center about 8 inches in the middle about 1 foot wide with decreacing width to 9 inches in the front and a solid 12 in the back and am going to outlne them with small 1/8 inch pinstriping like my friends old 69 ss camero will post pictures when I get it done. I am not going to use paint or sticker but most likly static cling with very light adhesive as most statics are good to 150 mph.

Roadsters and stripes have a long history of coexistence. Your idea sounds interesting.

Doesn't make the car any faster ... And not necessary, I wouldn't do it.

StormBringer; I too have had the same thoughts and would like to see how it turns out. Go for it! Do you have a hardtop?
