Honestly I wouldn't do it, the body shape just doesn't lend itself to it, ends up looking odd or like something a car yard would do to a car that's sat in the lot for 3 months... depending on the model you'd do better to look at colour co-ordinating bits and pieces

I agree, stripes over the car wouldn't look that good on an AU.

However, I saw a black AU with the C2R kit (same as mine) in a caryard the other day, had silver stripes along the side down the bottom, it really looked awesome, and in my opinion better than the "centre" stripes.

That being said, everyone's entitled to their own opinion and ultimitely its your car

i think they look good. but you really need the kit to suit. im going to go with the thin and thick GT stripes along the side, i think they may better suit the wagon

I want to see a car without the kit have the stripes. Watching Overhaulin tonight, I saw a stripe package that I really like. Its different

Get them painted on if anything, vinyl will peel off, espically if its a bright colour will also fade...
I wouldnt do it unless you have a kit...
