Any regrets for those with CR/B & sport stripes?

My first choice of color is Chili Red, Black roof and black sport stripes (front and rear). I will not be able to see one in this exact combination before I have to order. Just wondering if anyone who ordered this combinaton regrets their choice, in particular, the factory sport stripes?

I love the CR/B so its more whether I would prefer the bonnet or sport stripes. I understand its personal taste. Saw the sport stripes on PW and thought they really worked well. I only see bonnet or no stripes on the road.

Thanks

We went with CR/CR and are adding the factory Black Bonnet and Roof Stripes. I like the sport stripes but wasn't sure I wanted to trim to fit.

Here is a pic of my homemade stripes, they are not complete yet. Mine go from front bumper to rear bumper, black on red and red (stripe) on black.
I had them cut at a local sign shop for fourty two bucks including enough for the beltline.

No regrets at all! I also added contrasting red roof stripes in line with the front/rear black stripes.

Lots of pics in my gallery (see sig), Here's a teaser...
