I think you had a great idea. It would look badass if a few things were changed. IMO to pull it off you need 1. the angle of the horziontal stripe to match the car angle 2. The angle between the horizontal and vertical stripe should be more defined or sharper and 3. The horizontal stripe should be on the lower portion of the door and the fade would look good.

Yeah I agree, I wish the angle of the lower part of the stripe was more horizontal. It wouldn't have lined up with the fenders and hood had I installed it that way. I nearly didn't install the sides when I saw that this was going to be the case, then just figured screw it. If I peel them off within days of install, they'll come off like butter (been there, done that, lol). Thanks for the input....

I think it looks good but the twin stripes on the hood look too skinny, in my opinion. I think because of the way you did the side stripes maybe a single stripe on the hood woulda done the trick. But nice job, in any case.

Yeah idk, I may just yank them all off. Thats the problem with this stuff, is its really hard to say how its going to look until its on the car. I probably should have just went with flat black in the same style everyone else has....

you're going to find way more silver on black than flat black on black. I did flat black on my alloy over a year ago and I had never seen another one done that way. Now there are a few but i still have not seen one in person. Silver on black is a differant story. Maybe try some silver c-stripes? or even the foose tribute ones aren't bad.

WTF? Don't you dare change your car just because people you don't even know don't like it. Its your car. Your opinion is all that maters unless you're trying to win a contest or something.
