Default Racing Stripes?

I'm thinking about having racing stripes put on my car across the top from front to back......need some advice, has anyone done this to their 3g eclipse? Does it look good? Mines silver and Im thinking about 2 blue stripes cause I painted the calipers blue and I think blue would match well with the silver.....How big should i go? They sell the stripes in different sizes...6"...8".... If anyone has advice or has done it lemme see some pics of your car...thanks

i would do just a single one like the one in jcw.com. silver and blue would be ok i would do a 6' one. i think.

but it's your car so your the one who has to live with it.

Do not, I repeat, do NOT put racing stripes on your car at all. My 3G had a pair of them down the center over the car and they were silver. (i bought it that way) It looks ugly/Tacky.*So over-done* So I had to peal them off with a razor blade which took forever and hurt too. It was do it myself or pay $150 to have a shop remove the stripes from just the front, then another $150 for the roof, and finally another $150 for the rear.

Dude... are you retarded? You have to heat them up with a blow dryer or a heat gun to get them off. I have gotten them off in 2 mins before. Dont let that be a factor.
