I had some spare vinyls left over from when I did the racing stripes on the Miata so I decided to do my own slasher stripes. All I did was cut out the stripes to 1 3/4" and added the pinstripes to the outside and middle to set it off. What do you guys think?

 

Nice job.

 

thanks! i know it's not perfect but each piece is done by hand. took me about 2 hours to do it. including figuring out a good size to make the stripes and several mock up pieces. hardest part was getting a good angel for the stripes on both sides of the car. i ordered the limited decals off the cicci website and plan to add that with the stripes when they arrive.

 

That is the way I did mine with the separation between the wider and thinner stripes.

 

How much did you pay and where did you get your rims from?

If I get the Alabaster White, I want to go hard in black with chrome tipped rims.

 

Looks good Cody.

 

I didn't pay anything for the vinyls cause i had some left over from another project. i bought my rims from wheelfire.com they have great prices on rims. i seen a few other members with the same rims as me including another white crossfire. I paid 1800 for the rims with falken 452 tires all shipped balanced and nitrogen filled and you get the aftermarket lugs for free and i paid like 10 dollars for the wheel locks. beware though i had to have the rear lugs shortened cause they where a hair too long. if you don't feel like doing this then you can space the wheels out slightly. just cheaper to shorten the lugs yourself. the black and white combo looks really nice on the crossfire. if u wanna better idea on how the rims will look just look at some of my photos. 18" front 19" rear. a 18" front and 20" rear would look really nice too.

 

First - will the stock tires fit on 18" and 19" rims?

Second - Are yours the RPM Wheels?

Wheelfire

Thanks

Looks nice - I looked @ the pics.

 

Looks good Cody

 

no they are the ruff racing r281 and thanks gary

 

Cody, the basics are nice and add some eye candy to your car, however, put the finishing touches on it. Get yourself a straight edge and a new single edge blade and trim the tops of those stripes, right there at the frist body crease.

 

Nice job on the stripes ,,,,

 

i said it wasnt perfect. if i take anymore off it then its not gonna look right. u cant tell unless you really get up on it and check it out. i mean as close as i took the picture.

 

Cody, I like the stripes and the fact that you made them yourself , and would like to do the same for my roadster. But in your first post you said the were cut at 1 3/4". I don't understand that measurement because they look wider then that? Could you help by clarifying the width of the stripes. Thanks.

 

nah they are not big at all. i meant they where 1 3/4" wide. the length you can judge for yourself. i just went down as far as you can actually see standing up. i didn't cover all the way under the plastic
