Default STRIPES- am i crazy?

wait let me explain -- not big, wide viper stripes. im talking about very subtle fender stripes, ones which i had on my previous Miata. it was one of my favorite mods on that car. i didnt think it would even be a consideration but i was playing with photoshop and...



2" vinyl tape mock-up:

Cast another "no" vote for the stripe. Love the car the way it is without the stripe.

Stripes like on a zr1 vette looks ok but ever think about stripes going up the hood and down the back like an ss camaro look.

Nothing wrong with stripes if done right. Stripes turned my boring Neon into a head turner (see album).

Doesn't look bad.It's hard to screw up a beautiful design but, I'm sure someone will !

If YOU like it, that's what's important. I wouldn't do this to mine, but it's Alabaster so I don't think it would work. On the Graphite it's not bad.

I'm considering the decals which look like barbed wire that some of the Viper Club use, and tactfully just stretching it across the rear bumper.

Thoughts guys and gals :idea:

They are removable with hairdryer in case I don't like them.
