I am with siggy... the imbalance is killing me. I don't have any issues with the stripe or pattern but.. I can't handle the lopsided ness. My mind just instantly makes me think the car is heavy on one side or will go crooked. Obvously neither is true but, it's just the way my mind interprets the look.

Some Saudi kid has this on his mustang, almost the same exact setup (color/stripe color, etc)

Doesn't look bad

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure he did his with painters tape...I **** you not.

I think it looks good on the front, the only thing I'm worried about is how it will look from the back...

I say go for it, but run the stripe on the drivers side of the car. The edge or pinstripe should be aligned directly in front of the drivers line of sight. Traditionally, this is/was done to assist the driver in determining the direction of the car in the event of a spin, or fine-tune the suspension characteristics. Definatly stick with a contrasting colour. Nice to see someone doing something unique!

I actually saw a guy today with this exact same stripe(s). Except it was on the drivers side and went fron the front of the hood to the back edge of the trunk. Black Stang with a teal stripe. Actually looked ok to me.

I see these stripes all the time in Europe and they look good. With the right contrast and/or color theme it will definitely stand apart from others. I almost did it but went with another mod instead (rims). I'd say go for it and if you go vinyl stripe and don't like it, you can always take them off. GL!!

I am not a fan. IMO the stripe looks weird so close to the crease in the hood which makes it look out of place especially if it doesn't follow the lines.
