I have to say I don't like the fact that they switched to the thinner stripes. The thicker ones made the car look much meaner, but the smaller ones make the car look wider i guess.

Looks wicked. Not a huge fan of the wheels though. They look like they belong on a VW.

That car is pretty awesome...I like the thin stripes, it gives a more aggressive body line imo. To me, stripes are about color combinations as to how good they will look...the width of the stripe can either be a feature or an accent...the thicker stripe seems to be more of a feature (eye catching focus point) where a thinner stripe is more of an accent to the car. Not 100% sold on the rims, but don't have anything bad to say about them either. Thanks for the link, great shots.

I have to agree with the majority about the stripes, I like the wide ones a lot more but heck i would still drive the wheels off of it...

great pictures really liked the engine shots

I'm in the minority on this one...I def. like the thinner stripes. IMO, I like to focus more on the body lines on the car, and less on visual impact the stripes have. Either way, it's a very sharp looking car.
