Smile Carbon fibre racing stripes?

I'm just in need of a second opinion here. I found some carbon fiber decal material and was wondering if using it to make racing stripes would be too tacky or just not suit a car. My car is a yellow LS coupe. I want to do something different for racing stripes and I'm thinking this is a good idea.

thats kinda what i figured, but i was curious. black ones would look good with the yellow. I'm still at the point where im not sure what i want to do first, performance or how the car looks, and with winter coming, i'll be waiting till spring before I do anything major.

Flat black stripes would look better.

only way i could see doing it the right way would be to get an cf oem hood and trunk as well as possibly get the roof overlaid with cf and then have it all painted but mask off where the racing stripes would be so that it was the real deal but that would cost a lot of money and not sure how well it would look
