It's not ugly. The people in the background are questioning it :P

I do see how people pair the stripes and American muscle, but I seem to compare two parallel stripes with American muscle.

At least this one matches the contours. It's definitely different.

But hey, what else can we stereotype? Vinyl/Paint on different parts of a car? European Taillights on a Asian Car? :P

I think these designs will all blend in or sneak into style, one way or another.

I'm sure if the lines are small and discreet or somewhat blends out when coming up close, it won't stand out to get negative feedback.

To reference my other thread's statement, looks like a pile of puke on a dry turd, blech!

Kinda reminds me of Herbie, that is very unflattering for our curves

This actually looks pretty cool. Do you have any other pictures of this? Side views or a back view?

I know most people use them only on American Muscle, but sometimes it loks cool on other cars. It does goes with the line of the car too.

it doesnt look bad but it might work/flow better if the coupe had a kit or lip installed. im torn lol i guess the overall look would have to warrant this stripe design. its really hit or miss on some cars...

truly the voice of reason. I like the stripe isnt straight. it has a nice curve to it. not sure i'd do it myself, maybe if was set up a little more different it might work. its definately unique.

Well before i saw the pic i was thinkin about doin it to mine with the same color combo, but now that i see it, my money is much better spent elsewhere.

I agree with MikeisSUPERBAD it might look better with the Stillen Fascia, but i dont think it would look good enough.

Got time to photoshop a Shelby color scheme? White / silver with dual light-blue stripes.

It's a nogo. Looks like a feeble attempt to make an A/C look like a Viper! It just doesn't work!
