iceman Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 What's up with the lipstick around the grill? Goin' to Carolina in my mind...and in my car on the 16th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockerGT Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Wow, thats a waste. Then again I have a video of a 996 GT3 competing in a rally race in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowFast Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 ^ New ricer mod, sure I will see a civic in the home depot parking lot with blue or red painters tape outlining the grills now. Frankly that thing is hideous, to do that to what it arguably one of the worlds most beautiful cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Do you mean Tarmac Rallies? Nope, Targa Rallies. You can't run this thing in a WRC tarmac rally due to the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driggity Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Lipstick grill looks funny. Hope that doesn't become a fad. Gag. Well Aston Martin has been doing it on their racecars for over 50 years and it hasn't caught on as a fad yet so i wouldn't get too worried.

IwannaSportSedan Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 They couldn't just do a double stripe from the side of the hood line to the wheel well? That bright red around the grille and the window arch just looks like an afterthought, and ruins a very nice looking car. Considering the way BMW and Ferrari are going, maybe one of the best looking cars... But this red stuff is just kinda stupid on a Brooklands green sportscar. I'd take Ecosse Blue, with white details, though. Classic scottish club-racing colors of the Ecurie Ecosse sports car racing club. They usually did Jags, but they had some astons and healeys, and the like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I believe the "lipstick" and roofline color is to differentiate the team's cars easily while on track. Some were red/orange, and others were green/yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowFast Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Not the car you fool:) , the stripes!! The fact that the STRIPES are functional does not make them less ugly. If I ever call an AM ugly I deserve to be strung up and burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
