I could take or leave the stripes, but I would definitely go to black surround for the windshield and the back glass, but to each his own.

I think you need to pay a bit more attention to matching the orange and close to orange colors. The orange of the wheels looks different from the orange in the stripe, as well as the number on the side. The red of some of the stickers looks close to orange.

A safe way around this is to choose different colors, but colors that match. For example, if you went with light blue for the stripes, it would match the orange very nicely. If you can source the door number from the same vendor so that they're perfectly color-matched light blue, then that would be ideal.

good ideas. I’m not in love with the stripe. Gonna take it off. The rest of the free advertising is all good with me.

The stripes are awesome. If it were me I would either get rid of the meatball or change them to something besides red, maybe black-and-white and clean up some of the other advertising. Beautiful car overall. Congratulations.

Stickers make you faster. I'd do something like an orange center stripe with white pinstripes, though.

I like the stripes, it adds to the theme of the car.

and agree with Iceman on windshield and rear window surrounds and delete front lip spoiler (you don't have a rear wing).... And a question: How do you like the windshield wipers parked on the passenger side? Did you do that?
Thanks
