Will it go even faster if they're red?

Yes Barney's are 92mm, but painted on. I don't know if the decal ones are exactly the same width but Chong's look similar.

Mine are 5 inch wide I think, from the edge opf the bonnet.

And yes they are painted. Lots of masking tape, a good eye and a good measuring tape are required....ohh and paint.

Mine are rather wide compared to most peoples, it's personal preference but I like wide stripes. Many I've seen start 1/2 inch from the bonets edge and then are 4.5 inchs wide, making them 'end' where mine do but not so wide.

Does it go faster when they're wider? I might need to paint me some on. :wink:
