    Hey Guys...

    Whats your take on later model Sandman stripes on HQ's...

    I'm trying to work out whether to go the original type HQ stripes or the later model coloured ones when i eventually finish the rust (and find someone to re-spray the outside... any takers? :errf


    The Ute would be the same Aquamarine Metallic... so yeah give up your thoughts on what you think would look good

    Cheers

    in regards to my above post do you guys reckon this would suit the aquamarine on the HQ? still toying with use original HQ strips or go the later model... i don't have guard flutes and don't plan on cutting any in to be honest... however may need some new doors mine are quite gone in the bottom...

    I think it would look good to someone who didnt know they were wrong.
    People who know the difference will think it to be...... well, not good.

    I personally think that a set of HQ black ones would look great on your ute. But thats my opinion.

    At the end of the day you are the one driving it and if you like it Do it.

    To be honest Chris I like the later model stripes much more than the early ones. But at the same time I like the early ones also.

    As others will say its all about what makes your car yours. If thats later stripes who cares. =)

    By the way HX DX5 would look great on your colour.

    I like the shape of the HQ the best of the series. I like and own a HZ mainly because I like the loud, "look at me" stickers and to me thats how I remember sandman's.

    I do think the later stickers would "look" good in its own right but not correct making it crap to me. The first thing that would come to mind when I see it would be... "Those stickers are wrong!".

    The problem I think is I am just to old. LOL

    in a ideal world, go for HQ style in black with a later model HX -Z Tailgate sticker in solid back if Jason makes them...
