Default To stripe or not to stripe...

Need some help deciding if I should stripe my car. She's got the entire Cervini kit on there & the whole car is black. Was thinking about Silver stripes but it's about $1500 to get it done. Should I do it or put the money somewhere else? Hard decision for me because I think everyone else has stripes & I am shooting for not looking like everyone else. Oh, it's also got those 18" Bullit polished wheels. Probably will get something fatter within the next 6-8 months. Wanting to see if my clutch holds out...

Already have Kenne Bell & Pro-50 Shifter & some really nice gauges, as well as aftermarket stereo/tv/dvd/etc...

Thanks for any opinions, since that is exactly what I am asking for.

The stripes would look very hot with the full body kit. I don't think you have to worry about looking like everyone else regardless

This is the only photo I have so far of her. The hood & front bumper were still getting painted. Will post more in about a week.

Thanks so much guys! Really appreciate the feedback. I think I will leave her all black & spend the money on suspension/fatter meat out back. I think I just value peoples opinions here much more than the guys driving minivans... Thanks again!

Yea, I agree........leave her black. Just get some fatter rubber under those rear wheelwells like you said. It'll look super tight then
