Stripes or no stripes?
A few people have said I should put some stripes or something on my car to break up all the red. I was thinking maybe the silver and black stripes from an IROC along the bottom. Opinions?

Here's some pics of my car, feel free to photoshop some ideas:

I was thinking of stripes like on IROCs, just something subtle along the bottom.

I thought you were talking about racing stripes. I never was a fan of the stripes on IROCs except the occasional few color combinations. I think the car needs GFX more than stripes.

Re: Stripes or no stripes?
I'm kinda partial to the two-tone look (on my car) so... I vote for stripes
