Default Paint / Body Vinyl Accents! Show me yours!

I've got an '04 Xfire ,Alabaster (White), that is rather plain looking. I'd like to do something to accent my car. Nothing big and flashy. Just something that doesn't make the sides look like blank billboards! LoL. I bought some silver pin striping to put on. If you did something to your car I'd like to see it. "No" big dual racing stripes down the middle of the hood, roof and hatch back. I know that new rims or painting my rims would go a long way to improve things but buying new rims is out of the question. Painting rims is an alternative when things warm up a bit.

More decals arrived. Moved one further back, which I like better, and new hood decals. The hood decals should have about 2" more spacing between the two.

Don't think I like any of the decals I bought. Maybe pin stripes and more subtle decals.

Thin out the back stripe, might look better. Do you think the black is too harsh a contrast against the white body? keep trying, it will only get better.

Maybe but black sčems to be something making very contrasting look. Painting the fender grills black would look good with black decals. Thinner decals is better idrea.

I agree with tampa xfire regarding the black/harshness. I would suggest either grey accents due to interior colors, or red accents as that would be bold not harsh and look graceful and stylish in appearance.
Personal choices and decision making is the toughest part of any job.
