Side Stripes..before and after

[manny1973]

Anyone have pictures of a silver Z with stripes. I like the stripes but am not sure of what color would look best on the silver car.

Prepare for story about Mr K. himself standing on a dock removing badges ...

Thanks for confirming my earlier statement, I knew someone with one of the first originals and I remember he was contemplating not putting the Datsun side badging like the picture his dad had purchasing the car.

manny1973 I've seen black stripes on silver never seen white on silver. theirs a guy in Denver with the black stripes on silver it looks good, I think white would just blend into the silver and would not look right. Beside the nice thing about vinyls is if you don't like it take it off

I wouldn't say that I confirmed your statement. In fact, I've always assumed the badge switching thing was a tall tale but it has certainly been repeated many times.

Hey I remember watching a special about the z and was stated their, but with no pictures of it happening and no pile of badges it could be a wise tale.

Thanks I also think the black stripe would be best.

Wow,

My old thread lives on........

As requested here is a picture of a Silver 240 with stripes. Also, here's my 71Green with stripes.

Looks great, Thanks for the pictures. Black is the way to go on silver.

Unless you're color blind to black! :nervous:

This was my car the day I purchased it...with stripes.. yes I know they are in the wrong place...PO did this.

Now here my car.

It really depends on what you like.

You're missing the body-side rub mouldings. Didn't S30s come wth those?

[Zedyone_kenobi]

I am glad they are not on there... HATE those things... in fact it was one of the requirements when I was looking for my Z.
