As far as stripes are concerned I would see what grey or black look like. I also think white contrasts too much, so you really want to choose a colour that will tie into the rest of the aesthetics of the car. Unfortunately, having a polished rim makes that a little bit harder, but a dark grey would look good imo.

I think they look great. Subtle, Classy, Yet Sporty at the same time.

I like the cobra's but feel they are done to death on everything from Barina's to Commonwhore's.
Don't underestimate getting inspiration from Hot Wheels cars. Some of those little suckers look brilliant. Just take a photo, then take it to a signwriter. Thats what we have done with2 cars now and we're happy with results. :D

Personally I like the stripes, we are at least pretty much always seen :)
