I vote the first one. Seen that car in person and know the owner. 1) the stripes on it are painted on, NOT vinyl and 2) i think on our cars that design just looks better. Too much other stuff going on (the gaps in front for the grills and the cutouts in the back) for the all-the-way-down ones to look right.

It really depends on the overall look of the car. Some look nice with just hood-to-trunk, others look "unfinished" unless they go bumper to bumper. Width and placement of stripes makes a big difference too, as does the presence or lack of a pinstripe.

In any case stripes on a sedan just don't look right to me.

I like the first one....i had dual striped until i changed my hood but i ran them to the end of the hood and the trunk.....





I agree with alley there is too many gaps if you go all the way down, and its breaks up the color.

imo leave the stripes for a muscle car, you know one that has some real power.

i had the "chevy" stripes on my camaro and thats what i prefer but i dont think economy cars really deserve stripes. just my .02

especially those little ls rally editions or whatever they call them, i rofl every time i see one.

oh ibt

needs number one. The car just doesn't look correct to have number two.. I think carbon fiber stripes would look pretty neat..
