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.)

A stripe would work, just not that stripe. Leave it off. Cool car.

I agree.

The stripe in this case gives it more attitude. If you're not certain, maybe go with a more subtle stripe. In my case, I would like a stripe, but will likely go with a color that will not be so noticeable or maybe even ghost stripes. Although, that probably won't work with your color scenario?

Stripe or no stripe, your car looks awesome.

I think the car needs a stripe, especially since you went with powder coated centers on the wheels. The stripe helps to break up the solid color and it make the rims pop.

Rims are usually the first thing to get noticed.
