Vinyl Racing Stripe and Pin Stripe... What's you're opinion?

2019 C63S AMG
Just looking for your honest opinion....
- RedS on front bumper
- Two Carbon Fiber looking Vinyl Racing Stripes on hood
- Red Stripe on back bumper

IMO the hood stripes look awful. The red accents are fine, but looks cleaner without both.

Hood stripes are okay - matter of taste but not awful. I sure don't like the red stripes on rear diffuser.

It's creative, but the front of you car kind of looks like the logo for the Kabuki Japanese Restaurant.

Not a fan of the hood wrap, the other stuff looks good.

Did something similar on my GLE

Both are pretty tacky mods IMO. Something I expect to see on a Civic Si.

To each their own. Some people like customizing their cars to their taste, some like to keep it stock & boring.

The problem with being "individual" is you look like all the other people being "individual"

If you like it, that's an that matters.

Not a fan. I generally think that “racing” stripes look like *** on most cars though. The only exception to this would be custom painted on ghost stripes that are very subtle. These are not subtle.

Agreed, some people mod to improve performance, aesthetics others embrace their inner ricer.

I see what you are saying, because I went back to look at the picture of it all white and it does look cleaner lol

No no not just you, very keen eye. This was my first time doing any kind of stripes or decals of vinyl or anything like that on a car.

With all this free time on my hand forcing myself to stay home I decided to venture into this and when I put them on I assumed that I wouldn't have done it right and I will take them off right away but lot of people's opinions were like they look pretty good so I left them on there but that was definitely not the plan it was just to learn something new.

It was one side on mine for a bit. But everyone was that one side thing now and any time I mentioned trying to do the second stripe on there other side they'd be like "2nd side!?!??!!" So that made me go, let me go against the grain and see what happens it's only temporary.

Here's how I did the single stripe on my C63, GTR and on my 3 RS. I like the look of the thin double offset on my cars.

I personally do not like the striped or red accent look on the C63's. It just doesn't look right to me.
However, It looks alright on the GTR and amazing on the GT3RS.

@BenzBell has the strip i was talking about - looks like it came from the factory that way - not an add on later - but to each their own - if you don't like it - thats fine, its not your car - to each their own - "you do you boo"
