Default Racing Stripes on Cavalier

I started applying some racing stripes to my car.

Before:







After



I'm not finished yet, I'm going to make it go all the way down the front and back. The stripe looks weird on that last picture but it's just the angle.

What do you think?

Unfortunately for my case, the 1st picture is the best because I took it under the moon at twilight in a clear area.

That looks pretty damn good. It definitely gives the car a different personality.

Thanks guys. Here's the final product:




Yeah, it definitely looks more like a skunk than anything else. For now I'm calling it the Panda Express. Although it's more like a reverse panda than anything. I'm just trying to find anything to call it that's not the obvious skunk reference.

It was impossible to get the stripes to go all the way down to the bottom, but I think it looks complete now.
