Bored - to stripe or not to stripe

imho the color of your car just isn't compatible with wearing racing stripes - it would look more like a nice car that somebody slapped stripes on, opposed to something that flows naturally together and just works.

 

This is the best pic I could find on Google. It looks "okay", but nothing I'd be super proud of.

Gray looks awful

I imagine white would be worse.

Mixed thoughts on this. Like the idea of matt black / charcoal to match the convertible top then accent them with silver to bring in the wheels.

 

Something like this style? Not sure. Like Brian said, I think your color isn't crying for it. Below works well IMO.

These look sweet. Most likely because they are shiny paint. If you could find some high gloss ones that were as wide as your whole lower front grille and nearly as wide as the hood that would look potentially amazing (not to mention different than all the others out there) This would also be nearly impossible with vinyl due to the curves I guess - another reason paint is best!

Gold stripes.

 

For real though, I agree with the rest. No stripes.

 

EDIT: Although, as always, who gives a crap what the CR collective thinks? If you want stripes, get stripes. It's your car and money. I don't care if you put purple stripes on that thing really.

Completely agree it is what I want - but nothing wrong with getting opinions of people i respect (for some unknown reason ;)). Besides it is winter...

Nope but I do have to ask. The front tires seems to have a lot of sidewall, is that the specced size?
