Stripes????
I found these on another website and ya know this looks pretty dang good IMO anyway. Its a really BOLD and in your face look for sure.
Don't know if I would do it but, what do ya'll think?

Looks pretty good, but reminds me too much of the Shelby Cobra. Guess I think the Z4M has a distinctive look, and I'm not sure how I feel about the Cobra-esque association.
But, as I always say, it's your car, and appearance mods are a very subjective and personal thing. What matters is how much you like it! If you do go with this, it might be worth doing in vinyl so that it can be easily removed if you find yourself wanting a different look down the line. |

NO NO and NO.
Although a confederate flag on the roof might look cool. It's ok I can say this, one of my good friends is Black. Didn't someone do a off center stripe?

I do like the strips on the back and top. Not sure about the front. Need better angle.
The strips look really good on the blue. Just remember, it only matters what YOU think............. |

Actually it doesn't look half bad. But it does remind me a lot of a shelby daytona coupe. Maybe that's not a bad thing though... a modern day german version of the daytona coupe. =)
Vinyl would be an easy way to try it out. |

Hmmm...3 hours later and I have to say it's growing on me!
Mirko, I like that look as well, I think I might like the one in the OP more. Guess I need to wait another 3 hours and look at them both again! I was considering doing an entire car wrap next year (for something different than black), but this idea is cheaper and may give that different look I was after. Hmmm. Going to need to think about this more. |

I like the Viper GTS nostalgia on Interlagos Blue. Not crazy about the other options. Stripes on a non-American sports car looks off.

OMG... those M strips are hideous .
Some of the others aren't bad though. I must admit I have thought about the Motorsport stripes at times.

Strictly a track car...
on a street car.... too tacky.. it all depending on which direction you're going and what's the purpose of your car. Going for shine elegant or racy track car... I like the stripes if I don't really drive it on the street... |

What is the significance of this stupid yellow stripe? Surely there is significance?

the yellow stripe across the hood kinda looks like someone was thinking of wrapping the car up as a gift but lost interest, hideous IMO. I really like the GT stripes but that may be because it's a race car and has the fantastic wide-body

I like the more subtle color schemes like this (or the oposite, gloss black with a matte black stripe), but the classic blue and white double stripe looks good!
