well this idea got shot down. is it the stripes you dont like or them not being on the GT they were designed for.

If you like the stripe go for it I reckon. Looks good on the AU. I was thinking of doing the full cobra in red on my white XR.

I thought it looked good on the au as well. I was more curious to know if the stripes would have been purchased from a ford dealer more than anything, and if they would sell them to owners of vehicles other that the current GT. I don’t think I will be putting them on my car anytime soon I can’t think of a stripe that would compliment Barossa red.

Damn straight..

Funny you should say that, I saw Tickford wings on the back of a BA Fairmont yesterday.. WHY?

But I guess it all comes down to personal preference in the end. and really if you like it who cares. Personally I don't like it..

Like putting BA XR6 or 8 badges on the AU or earlier models - This is my dislike. But my favourite form of "Badge Displacement" has to be a pic I saw ages ago of a stock Honda Civic under the bonnet, chromies/bodykit/aluminum spoiler... This is no dramas for me but the closer was the Skyline GT-R badges stuck over it.. In the same places they would be on the R34...

Im trying to hunt down the pic for all you guys to laugh at with me,,

i don't know where you are mate- but I am in Perth and saw a silver au with the series 1 BA GT stripes and thought it looked shocking.....

having said that I'm all for stripes on AU's- just over the top and not on the sides.....
