Not a fan. But might look nice with some crazy body kit on it. For show. In for installed pics.

Pass. Only looks good as a livery for a DTM bimmer.

Oh no! This is as bad as those Dodge cars having a strip in the middle.

Racing stripes eh are you putting the M somewhere?

This won't look good in any mildly modded car, also it looks better on a white car. It has to be aggressive looking to pull it off.

By hey, its your car you can do what ever you want

So I got the idea from this car driven by an old guy in his 60's. I am sure he is a ricer. I simply say to each their own and it isn't bad when done nicely.

My car is white and I am looking fwd to slapping those vinyls on.

Why would you post a poll when you've already made up your mind? Do what you want, your car. But don't get worked up if people disagree.

Not at all worked up. Just get annoyed if someone would rather write "+5 bhp" and don't add any value as to why it is a no for him or her. We not kids

Good point on why post the poll. I guess I wanted to know how ppl generally feel about it.

I just can't get on board with putting ///M stripes on a non-M car. The old guy with the M3 can pull it off because it's an M3.

It's probably going to look like shit, but you don't really want opinions do you?

Thats a huge strip! Goddamn. I would definitely not recommend it. This is coming from someone who doesn't mind M details on non M cars, but this strip is just too obnoxious.
