The F430 is hot but IMHO that is the worst part of the car I would prefer solid color like the black matte one and the solid silver one of course those are custom colors, just don't dig stripes on imports....but the F430 by it self is awesome not just the scuderia

Stripes, I'm with the others, nice on domestics, not so much on our cars.As for the graphics.... just my opinion. I would be more fond of a subtle two tone, would have to see it of course.

if anyone is wrapping their car with anything it should be with a matte film, hopefully achieving something like this;

Ultimately, if you like it then who cares what we think. On the same token, don't get all pissy when I tell you your baby is ugly.

No to any graphics on the coupe. The car is so clean looking, i think it would mess up the style.

I think you should have made this a poll - options "yes," or "FAIL." Im not sure if you would see many yes answers though...

I actually think it'll look ugly on the AC. I like them on the Cobolt and the Mustangs but not on the A/C

how much would a matte finish cost? and would it look cheap or fake? why dont you photoshop a coupe with racing stripes. i definately agree that i don't think it would be good on our cars but a picture could change my mind.

crazyness ....---> some lady @ my work just got a brand new Dodge Viper,,, blue w/ white racing stripes,,, werd.

I was doing some thinking at lunch, I think I might go all out in regards to visual style when I buy a coupe in 2009. slap on a body kit and all that, but then have a crazy paint job,,,, on the driver's side will be an anime-type image of a knight on a horse, sword/shield all that good stuff, then my Xbox SN: Turbo x Knight,,, and some Japanese characters (as in words). On the passenger side will be a hott anime chick, such as dark magician girl from yu-gi-oh,,, very colorful, good stuff.

flame on~! lol............

Seriously though, I'd like to see more people putting artwork on their vehicles.... brings a lot of attitude and personality to the car.

i agree with you that a paint job can create personality and really set off a car. Sometimes you can overdo the artwork and the car becomes messy. Another thing is what your talking about doing will cost a ton of money depending on how good of an artist you go with to do the work. Also your car will be in the shop for a while. i think that scheme on a coupe would be a little ricey so make sure you get a couple of renditions from different artists before you do it. Also have someone photoshop the image on the coupe for you. By the time you do the kit and all your talking about you might as well buy the viper.

hey mch... do u think you could try a photoshop of these stripes on the A/C??

this was my very first car back in the day and i have always wondered what it would look like on the A/C. since my a/c is the radiant silver... i think i would have to go for a blue stripe set

can you try this scheme on your car pic?? and see how it comes out?
