Racing Stripe advice

Ok so i have been pondering this idea for awhile and i was wondering what all you guys think. I kinda like this but i need advice. I was thinking of doing vinyl cause its a hell of a lot cheaper. let me know what you guys think or what you would change!

My idea is to have it centered over the passenger seat. and wrap all the way to the bottom of the rear bumper.



and anyone who is good with photo shop let me know cause i did it with paint i would like to get an idea of what it would really like. ill send you the original through e-mail.

You guys don't like the idea of an offset stripe? i think it looks good? whats the issue. just saying NO doesnt open my eyes to the possible "gayness" of it

anyways, for me, im a little OCD and having a stripe on one side would prob bother me alot. personally i dont like it but if your like it, go for it. you dont need mine or anybodys approval from some forum. as long as you like it.
and if you get vinyl and you dont like it, all you have to do is take it off.

the one stripe doesn't look good. On my LS I have two blue stripes on mine, vinyl I ordered off the internet. Pretty easy to put on. But the trunk is a little tricky. But honestly the one stripe, I'd stear clear of that. Good luck.

if you leave your car outside, and the vinyl is on for more than 6mo, the yellow under the decal will be brighter than the exposed yellow.

Dude... please... don't do it. Think about your fellow yellow balt owners. The only balt I've seen that looks good with Two stripes was a burpuple balt with silver PAINTED stripes.
