Rx8 with stripes

Just found this on Brighton Mazda's site...I honestly have never seen an RX with stripes on!!

I think its a little much Tbh...but what do people think?

I'm not a fan at all. Those stripes are way too dominant.

I don't mind these "rally" stripes however:

Not my cup of tea.

If you search you'll find some pics of a dude's car in the UK - titanium grey with two broad white stripes down the middle of the car...still not my thing but better than the example you found at Brighton.

Well they certainly make a statement.

I don't mind stripes, but prefer them a bit more subtle.

Haha...Viper.

You have to admit tho. although its really quite out there, the more I look at it, the more I could see people just going "WTF is that!!!"

as they drove up next to you...especially if you debaged it. It would seriously frighten a few people

....until they realized you were a poser

Hmm....Might be...but I bet those plates are probably quite expensive!
Previous owner obviously liked it, wonder why he decided to sell it? (its in the used car section)

Good Evening Mates...check out the pictures in my album and you'll see that both of my 8s are wearing the stripes by AutoTrimDesign...the stripes are holding up to the heat and shine up great.

Well, looks like the yanks like talking about stripes...

I still think they're a bit too fast and furious for me but whatever floats your boat.

Racing a Mustang won't be much of a problem out this way, considering there's about two in the entire country (and they don't go around corners!)
