ok guys i love stripes on my car and most cars that i see. However, if you're going to have a black out panel i say no stripes unless it is on the side like the hockey stick stripe or the side stripe like on the cs. Look at 09cs. His stripes look good. I think you should do that, just my opinion

 

I say stripes!

 

I like stripes..... painted on. I had too much trouble from the vinyl stripes I had on my V-6 car. I just got mine out of the shop and went red on black, matches my red leather interior.
