Default Stripe or No Stripe?

Special thanks to Ben Hermance for the atch renderings!

Car is in for paint right now... so stripe or no stripe?

Jon at DriverzInc hooked me up with Rushforth Superspoke wheels and tires and Tobin at KORE3 set me up with C6 Z51 brake kits front and rear.

Brakes should be here next week and wheels/tires the week thereafter.
Just in time for the car to come home from paint!

Let me know your thoughts...

V/R,
Ty

The only thing that throws off the stripe for me is the way it hooks back at the bottom. I also think those scoops are screaming for either a flat black stripe or 2 (or matching color to hockey stripe).

I think the car would benefit from a little graphic treatment, but this particular stripe looks a little "mustachy" for me. But like Jody says, it's your car and you should do what you like.

Stripe - but the lower 'tail' should end about 6 inches in from the front wheel opening. (instead of almost touching like in the pic.)
