Racing Stripes?

I've seen quite a few photo's of cars with racing stripes in different configurations. Some single, offset and narrow to emulate the GT3; some single, centered and wider; some double centered.

Personally, I think they can be complementary and some are overdone. I have a Selenite Gray Ed1. In concert with the CF roof, I could envision it with some form of satin black? version. Guess it appeals the the AC Cobra/muscle car fan in me.

Opinions and photo's? Can anyone photoshop the above car?

A google image search brings up a few. Personally, I think the shape of the car, especially with aero kit, can lend itself to the 'right' rally stripe(s). But best with certain colors. The Ed1 with the CF roof most of all as it already has attitude. Not sure I'd do it with a pano.

People will certainly have opinions.

I'm typically in the camp of 'less is more'. I mean, this is a gorgeous car, as is. But I could be tempted by a 'single narrow band+stripe', offset (GT3-style), probably in satin black (on Selenite Grey). But does that include the rear hatch? Dunno as that offset might force a de-badge. It absolutely needs to look OEM.
