I think if you had some clear corners and black wheels the stripes would look pretty good.

Stripes only look good if the car is highly modified, even then it needs more to it.

I think it would look better on both sides, not just the left side. That's just my opinion.

No it's vinyl. A bunch of my friends started doing this to their cars... I'm not sure why, just something different. I finally got around to doing it the other day...the pictures don't really do it the justice real life perspectives do. I'm just not a good enough photographer to get the right angle. :/

If you like it and your buddies use it to show you're all part of a group then it's fine.

well, to each their own. Clear corners or smoked corrners are definitely in the future. I like how they look, but thanks for your opinions

It looks like if you had a Bra and those lines will be the markings after being exposed, for a while.
