Finally got a hold of Brian from Rider Graphix.  Thanks Chris, you da man!

His brother David made me this proof of the rear of the body stripe after I told him my idea.

So what do you think?

ridergraphix.com if you want to compare and see other stripe choices. 

Thanks

Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

Not a big fan. Out of all the stripe choices out there, I think the '70 R/T stripe looks best on '08s and '09s. :yesnod:

I would like it better without the callouts personally.

Looks very "busy" Mike...on the car you'd loose a lot of the detail you're looking for in the lettering....I'd keep it simple.

The SRT badge says it all IMHO :cheers:

Gotta' see it photoshop'd to give a good opinion.

mikepmcs

Yeah, I wish I could photoshop.

But..... after looking at it more and more it does look to be a little much. 

I just talked to Dave Rider via email quite a few times. what do you guys think of this one.  It's already on a car in the picture which helps quite a bit.  It's more simple but it's already been done. 
Notice I edited my first post where I said it was the full body stripe or nothing. Well I lied. This looks decent to me as well.

Thanks for your patience guys.  Don't mean to be wishy washy, but that's a lot of money to throw out for graphic and then throw it in the sh@#can.

I think that one with the hood blacked out would set you apart from the pack  :2thumbs:

Ghoste

I like that one.  I also like the idea of the first one, the full length 70 RT style one, just without the callouts.

Fitz73Chrgr

71 style all the way...unique, but not gaudy.  I say go for it!  :2thumbs:

AAR STRIPE ALL THE WAY !!!!!! EVEN FOOSE USED THAT STRIPE ON HEMISPHERE

charger2fast4u

i'm not a big fan of those graphics of the srt with the 2 stripes kind of tacky. maybe if they extended them the whole way back? just my opinion

mikepmcs

Thanks for all the responses gang.  I've made my decision and opted to go with the 71 dual stripe with the SRT under the 1/4 window.  The more I looked at that full stripe the more it just didn't look right for me personally.  Like I said, I truly appreciate all the responses and it helped me to step back and really look at what I was trying to accomplish.  In the end I opted for the KISS method.  I'll concentrate now on some performance mods.  First one was purchased this morning from ROTO FAB.  CAI is on the way.  Looks like a very well thought out design and talking with the owner and reading some other comments on the product is what sold me.  It's not flashy but it will more than do the job, IMO.   :2thumbs:
I'll most likely start a poll on exhaust now and let you guys express opinions on that as well. 

It should be here early next week.   :cheers:
