Why do people paint a white stripe down the hood?

I have seen some nice cars on Craigs list but they are ruined by this striping. I would never consider a car looking like this. Just my own opinion. If you have a car to sell, get rid of the stripe and you might have better luck.

Here is an example.http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd/1880702206.html

Personal preference.

I don't hate the skunk stripes. I don't think they work well on the Z, but I i like 'em on some other cars.

Blue with white stripes on a 69 SS Camaro, nice!

i like the duel white stripes on SOME base colors. but that to me is ugly.

Over all it's not a bad car though. But Twin White stripes on a Black Z, beautiful

Anyone know what seats those are?

They look a lot like my Recarro's. Looks like they have been re-upholstered though.

Okay, have to agree. Without a companion small stripe on either side of the big stripe it looks like some ding walked the length of the car with a paint roller. And close it off at the leading edge of the hood with some finish detail.

Agreed.

But that car looks to be in really good shape, despite the stripe. If I had a Jones for the car, I'd factor in the cost of the repaint.

It appears to be a color change, too. Note the photo of the cargo area... shows gold beneath the mat....

Hate the stripe.

All the ricers know the stripe is good for at least 5-10 HP over no stripe. Same goes for stickers and decals of speed equipment that is not in the car.

Like anything else, some stripes work, some don't. I agree it needs the thin side stripes.
