Go-fast stripes aren’t always talked about as a key element of car design. We should change that. One stripe, two, three? Centered or offset? One color or multiple? The possibilities are endless. Post your favorites :D

Angles. Crisp angles.

So ‘80s, so rad! I completely forgot about these. Excellent look :D
How would that translate to a more rounded ‘90s sportscar? *Looks at own Toyota MR2*

I saw a Honda Ridgeline today with double racing stripes. That is all.

First-gen
Or 2nd gen?
I saw a current-gen Mazda CX-5, white with black racing stripes, last year right when they were brand-new. I have immense respect for racing stripes on unexpected vehicles...

The answer to your question is a resounding yes.

Not racing stripes, but I always liked the graphics on the special ‘Loeb’ edition first-gen Citroen C4! :)
Simple side stripes are nice!
I’ve always liked the Abarth-style side stripes as well!
Or something more original? The late 50's FIAT 500 Sport’s red stripe! All Sports came in white with these red highlights! Fun fact! The 500 Sport was one of only two classic FIAT 500 models to NOT have a fabric fold-back roof (the other being the Francis Lombardi ‘My Car’ FIAT 500). All 500s has this fold back roof to save money as it saved on metal and also made the cars lighter, but the ‘My Car’ had a full steel roof as it was a ‘luxury’ model and the Sport had it as it was intended for racing! :)

I’d like to throw one more out there, stripes on the roof, like Ford, or no stripes on the roof, like GM?

I love me some offset stripes.

Side stripes are great! Fiats and Porsches alike both look great.

My MR2 has a sunroof so I’ll have to go with the GM approach...

YES, and even better if you do offset AND centered:

I do wish the modern GT350 had the old school side stripes... but the over the top twin stripes is the best.
