    Sandman Stripe debate question

    Whilst my van is a HZ, it had crossed my mind whether to put HQ/HJ or HX/HZ stripes on it.
    As you can see i've ROUGHLY done a bit of editing to the first pic, to get the idea of both across.
    99% of people do the HX/HZ style but I do like the look of the HQ/HJ style on it.
    Thoughts?????

    Actually, the HJ ones do work on your colour!

    All personal choice really

    I don't think it's the style of decal that is the difference but it's the colour. White suits better on the blue than blue on blue.

    I'd go the HQ/HJ unless you want everyone to debate with you if it's original or not every-time you pull over.

    l have to agree with davegmh you need the right colour stripe to suite good luck in making the right choice l have found alot people are miss led when they see a van stripes there first impression is thats a sandman sometimes just repilca
    l take my sandman to shows and gets overlooked as it doesnt have stripes but thats how it came off the factory floor l decided to have sign in detail about what type of van l really have
    van on

    I must admit im a fan of it without stripes!

    I think maybe uts because of the custom 80's style works.

    I think it just needs something to break up the sides a bit more.

    Some stripes airbrushed with patterns or skulls or babes in them. That would look sweet!

    I have some stuffed kits that would only be good to cut up and make paint masks. That you could have for very cheap. (sizes are perfect but colours are crap or damaged)
