Opinions on my photoshop door stripe

A few days ago I saw a stripe on a door I liked. I tried to replicate it as best as possible. Anyways, I am not sold on the idea of putting this on my car but am looking for opinions. The photoshop work is not perfect.

IMHO - looks good but do not split the S on the door opening.

This reminds me of something the Honda crowd would do.

I agree. I would put the S after the door.

It doesn't look too bad...but I'd leave the car as is before putting the sticker on.

Gotta agree: looks a little "ricey". But then again, the last time I liked stripes/graphics on a car was in 1969 on an AC Cobra I drove...

Is it just me...or does your MINI look really short. Graphics look cool, but before I do things like that I ask myself...self, does this stripe bring anything to the party?

oooh, I can't wait until I see a Honda with "COOPER S" on the side - that'd be great.

C'mon! everyone knows you go with vertical stripes for a slimming effect

Since you asked for opinions, I would pocket the money and save it towards someday painting the arches/trim.

Thanks for the thoughts.

I agree on the honda comment. Thats the reason I put it in photoshop first to see what it would look like.

The Carerra RS was what I originally remember having what I liked similar to my photoshop.

I like it on the R56 above. I think without the black side skirt possibly helps a little.

I think it looks best on cars with aerokit or painted trim 'cause you don't have a thick black stripe over wide black trim
