Default Who Likes Racing Stripes?

Surfing E-bay for a new BMW i got lost and found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks...%3A1|240%3A1308

Now I looked at it, felt the vomit in the back of my throat and swallowed hard. Then I read and realized it was a Buck, Pontiac, GMC dealership selling the car and it was located in Cuyahoga Falls, OH an almost neighbor of Detroit. Where everything gets stripes







Discuss: The stripes...

Too narrow. Needs a black spoiler to offset the visual balance, IMHO. I always liked white stripes on a deep blue.

Needs some flames coming out behind the wheels to match!!! I'd prefer one of Foose's 2 tone designs before this(It was cool the first couple of times he did it but then just overplayed it way too much, he does them on everything).

Looks like a mini viper!!

Racing stripes? On a Cobra, yes!

A single wide stripe would look better on the S, but really doesn't look right on a modern car.
