Love the rims!!!! Not a big fan of stripes. But now you have me thinking of 2 red or dark gray stripes in my regent car. I'm thinking ofthe GT stripes on the drivers fender. Thoughts....

I think a blackened roof would give you the proper balance against your blackened aero kit, but I also understand the appeal of racing stripes. That said, That one thin stripe, off centered by itself, needs something else if balance is what you're aiming for.

And if you're asking why I felt I had to do something to bring more black up higher after doing the lip kit black, without doing what everyone else does by vinyl wrapping/dipping the roof.
First of all, thanks for the pictures. Was waiting for someone doing this on a whiteout, and I love the look. However, imo you should also make a smaller stripe next to it, something like in the picture below. Then it would be truly awesome in my view

Props to you for going with the stripes...don't see them on the forum very often. I like where you are right now...would recommend adding a thin accent stripe in red to each side of the thick black stripe...will pickup the red lug bolts from your wheels.

I would go for two stripes. My brain hates asymmetry.
