Totally agree. IMHO it really doesn't look that bad...in the photo. Would be interested to see this in person.

Oh don't get me wrong, I hate the ESX. (useless and waste of money) That's just what it reminded me of

Not sure but how many times do you really see vipers on the road, so I am guessing the few folks that even know what a BRZ is - would not have clue that the Viper has this also. I would say if you like it go with it. To me the stripes have been around for along time and make me think old school performance and racing, hell I think they even had the stripes off to the side of the hood and on the racing uniform. Either way, this car is supposed to be a throw back to a true sports car so what the heck. whatever you do folks are going to say Rice or copy cat.(gee what if it had a checkered flag pattern of some sorts...) If it feels good its your car, you look at it every day, do what you want.

For a laugh, Google - "Racing stripes"

Yep, Me as well. That's prolly the "prototype" antenna that was on the TAS13 Premium Sports Concept. Mehbeh it will be an accessory or standard on the 2014?

If they make it... it won't fit on USDM base. That's how we always get shafted.

Those stripes make me think of this car:

No problem. Hope it was bananas. At least they taste the same in both directions.
