I saw this shitty Cavalier on the 90 yesterday and had to snap a pic. I wonder what he used to measure these off with before he did it. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/justin9212/10-11-07_1552.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v674/justin9212/10-11-07_1552.jpg) ---

How hard is it to measure the center line of the car and measure out from there? There was a 80s toyota on UB North that was red with racing stripes on the hood and trunk, the roof, and on the door pillars. Was terrible. I think he was proud of his ride :hay: ---

[quote=“BikerFry,post:8,topic:36900"”] I bet he wears his hat like Skunk. [/quote] Fixed Oh by the way stupids. The stripes are toward the passenger side of the car to help offset driver weight. 50/50 side to side is how he rolls. ---

I know, I know! I was whacking a few back when I put them on this summer. I guess Jaeger Bombs don’t mix well with trying to put racing stripes on my Cavalia. But the car sure does get me some nice beaver when I rolling down the Chip strip on a Saturday night with me and my boys. But I do have to admit my whip looks mad baller at night when I have all my neonz pulsating and flashing to the beatz of my phatty box in the trunk. LOLZ: I have seen that around. ---
