Racing stripes on a Taco?

I've been looking for something new to do with the exterior cosmetics on my 08 EC Taco. I was looking into getting socked and getting the retro stripes and that made me wonder if some racing type stripes would look good on a Tacoma. Opinions? or even better pics?

 

no

 

Do it then show pics pleaseeee!

 

Plus I heard they increase horsepower so do it!

 

I've seen it, yellow on sport blue. Made me puke in my mouth.

don't do it.

 

Don't do it or everyone on here will make fun of you.

 

Hey, it's YOUR truck.
If you like it, do it!
Nobody on here is paying the notes for you.
Personally, I think the retro stripes are better looking, but that just my opinion. ​

 

I say do it.

 

Race stripes= GAY


I will have to if you get racing stripes.

 

If you do end up doing it, make sure you drop a 1.8 liter V-TEC in it first..

 

I have seen one in person, it was blue with grey stripes. It looked stupid. Don't do it... but if you do... post pics.

 

On an xrunner, maybe. But since you're a prerunner, I say no.

 

I'm so glad there were pics... Thank you. Made me see the error of my ways. If we could all forget about this, that would be great.

 

If I was worried about HP I would put blue ground markers on. +5HP a marker. Duh.

 

ya, then put a wing on it and a rumble bee sticker lol jk
I found a pick of and x runner



In my opinion, if your not a street rod dont do it, but if you do, do complementing colors like that one above minimal contrast looks good imo

 

Yeah I think the only way I would ever do it (although I never will) would be to do a matte black on gloss black. Racing stripes on anything but a high end sports car, or a race car just kind of screams cheese. But everyone has their own tastes.

 

Sorry, I like it. Especially now that I'm bumping this truck up to 400+hp and breaking into the 13's at the qtr mile. Black stripes on my inferno orange...gonna hafta see it on the computer first though.

 

Don’t waste your money, spend it elsewhere on the truck.
