I will concur with the comments regarding the stripe, it just doesn't look right somehow.
The first problem I would have, if I were designing the car, is that the stripe clashes with the already existing trim. The 'Cuda example you gave has no existing side trim, so if you were to remove the side trim that might help.
With the side trim deleted, I think a strobe stripe might work, but to avoid the "I'm a road work cone" look (I love that description!), perhaps you might tone the contrast down by having a lighter shade of of the gray color in the voids instead of the orange color.
Anyway, those are just my thoughts. Sweet rendering by the way!
