De gustibus non disputantum est, but no. For all the reasons stated above.

The fact that you asked the question, tells me that you too felt something didn't look quite right.
As numerous others have stated, it looks truncated.

Btw, the stripe in front of your front wheel looks like it belongs in front of the rear wheel.

Sorry, just not feeling the stripe at all. I think it takes away from the clean lines of the car. BUT remember it’s what YOU like not us.
Love the look of black and white...awesome car!

Since you asked, not a fan - IMO your car is very stunning without the stripe as is. But if you're happy and digging it that's all that matters...

They left off the stripe where goes past door to rear wheel . I didn’t want the stripe going over the clear PPF in that area . There have been comments about the letttering , size and fonts , if you think they are not correct it must be angle of phot because that is a factory stripe less the back portion and added front .

I do not see a problem adding the rear section of stripe over the PPF, which as many here have said would improve the look, and again, you asked for input!

I like a fuller stripe, not on the bumper, and in the correct font - I've been using the original 60s-70s script made longer by a vendor on Early911S to fit our longer cars...
it's not 100% like the factory recent stripe but i prefer the heritage link..

It works great for the 914 and antique 911s, not on your car. But I’m not a stripe guy.

There are worse things than stripes.

And it appears too low. Without more paint showing beneath the stripe it blends right into the door gap and makes the stripe look lopsided
