To stripe or not to stripe...

Ok the winter is getting to me and making a list of the things I want to get done before spring. So, I am trying to decide whether to put racing stripes on my car or not. They would be the "R-sport" style in dark charcoal or white probably. Any opinions? The subject:

Leave it..
Some look better with stripes, and others are gorgeous without them.
Yours falls into the latter..

That's a tough one. Your car is beautiful as is but would look tough with the dark charcoal or flat black rally stripes on the hood and deck lid. I just don't see it with white stripes.

If it was gray like mine it would surely need the stripes to bring it out some but that color is great looking either way.

I absolutely LOVE the white stripes on my car. I wouldn't have looked at her twice without them.

If you get stripes (I would), paint them. A local high end body shop did a great job on mine.
