The body shop that painted my car mentioned that a small stripe like that would look odd in that one little spot at the rear of the car. If I was to go with a stripe I would have to lower the "black" to just below the windows and then the stripe would travel the length of the car and then it would look much better. You got to think of the overall cost too. What I had painted was cheap. if I was to bring the "black" a little lower and then I would have to paint the top of the fenders. Soo much more labour and would double the cost or more. trust me I asked.
