Types of Muscle Car Racing Stripes
Not a lot of cars can pull off stripes the way that a muscle car can, and you'll find that the right aftermarket racing stripes can really enhance your muscle car’s exterior. Plus, many manufacturers agree with us on that as many top-level exterior trims come with OEM racing stripes or at least some variation of them. The most basic type of muscle car racing stripe that you'll come across is a simple single stripe that runs from the front of the hood to the trunk. They usually come in a few pieces, and you'll have to install each part separately. For example, you'll need to line them up on your hood, roof, and rear trunk/bumper.While the most basic option is a single stripe, if you plan on racing, racing stripes that run parallel across the hood give off that classic race car look. Many brands like SpeedForm make Lemans-style stripes for this exact reason. There are also other variations that are available like shredded full-length stripes from brands like SEC10 that give off a more aggressive look.
How to Choose Muscle Car Racing Stripes
Choosing the right muscle car racing stripes, or changing out your OEM racing stripes, is a completely personal decision. For example, if you want something a little more rugged you can opt for tattered-looking stripes instead of the traditional Lemans-style stripes. On the other hand, if you think that your current muscle car racing stripes are too long or you simply don't want them to cover your entire car anymore, you can always choose more basic hood decals and other similar decals instead. For example, you can opt for rocker stripes that go along the bottom of your muscle car.The quality of the material is also important when choosing racing stripes. High-performance racing stripes, for example, are made with premium materials like cast vinyl. This ensures that the stripes last for at least eight years regardless of the conditions you put them through.
