To each his own but i'd recommend you take that thing off ASAP. Completely cheapens the look of the car IMO and really does make it look like a catfish

Looks ok, if you're happy with it, why not. Love those wheels! Always look back at my black M4C with them and red calipers. Really make the car from sideways.

I like to think my life changed the day I truly realised that the opinion of others is irrelevant, and that my acceptance/desires for things should not be predicated upon others validating similar feelings.
It's a sentiment that others have shared in this thread, but I echo it - if it makes you happy, then that's all that matters. It's awesome to get others opinion on it, but it shouldn't sway your decision to get it or not. Our opinions are meant to shine light on a perspective you may not have had otherwise. You do you, boo.

I don't think it looks better, but I don't think it looks particularly worse, either. I'm in the "you do you" camp, here. There is a solid principle, here, though: when you're painting something in a dark color with hard edges—I mean like an art project, a 3-D object, a shape on a canvas meant to look 3-D, or a model tank or car—there's something called an "edge highlight" where you use a lighter shade of the paint you're using for the whole thing (or something like gray or silver if it's black) to draw a thin line along the edges. This prevents the dark paint from blending together and makes it pop if you do it right… if you do it poorly, it looks like somebody with an unsteady hand tried to trace the art object. I don't think the lines you added perfectly capture this particular technique, but it may be something to think about, maybe if the lines were just a very slightly lighter shade of the car's overall color.
