The 30th Ann Corvette had them... or i think or someone was trying to tape their fenders up to keep it from falling off and they made a fad out of it lol

I had them on my legacy last year, on the fenders and a little on the hood, to cover some paint damage.

My inspiration was the Corvette GS. In fact, I have that very model on the bottom. It's a shame I can't seem to find the farking wheels for it!

I like it, but not any color could work with any color, Sybir pulled it off very well on his 1000 wheel legacy

FWIW, the shop we were running back in -02/03 used them as the markings for owners/loyal customers; "getting your stripes" was you being a part of the original crew. What's funny is we started seeing other Subarus with some of the same colors. Not sure if it was parallel evolution (we took some inspiration from the GS cars too) or what, but I dug the look. There's a black stripe on mine that doesn't show up in pictures very well.

We went to badges later that are still my favorite markings, but with the shop gone, we had to move on.

Wow, I just realized that I technically wasn't copying because my stripes are going the wrong way.

I just owned myself. :-P
