Stripes are unusual these days. That said, when I repaint my car later this year I am SERIOUSLY considering BRE stripes. Vinyl though, not paint. My only issue with this is which color combo? Blue over red or vice versa.

I think what you should do if you really want stripes is to find a complementary vinyl color. In my opinion, part of the issue is that your car for all intent and purposes is completely stock in appearance which makes any striping look out of place. 2nd the white vinyl makes them stand out in the wrong way as if you are bored and just sticking things to the body (like those press-on Buick looking fender vents). I think you could pull off a more angled fender stripe if you had an aftermarket wheel on and the colors complemented each other. Striping at all is not my thing for the most part, but if YOU like it... do your thing

I briefly toyed with going whole hog, imitating the entire BRE paint scheme, but resale consideration scuttled that idea.
