My stripes are finally going to get re-done soon so I'm looking for ideas/suggestions. The current Roush stripes are a little off center in the rear and it bothers the heck out of me so I've come up with a new idea that I want to do. What do you think? Yes...no...? I'm pretty set on keeping the light blue with the Kona, but the red accent is up in the air currently. Here's the current look:

Proposed stripes:

Here's a couple more ideas. I really like the silver accent but that red one just pops.

It's not for me, but it's not my ride - do what *you* want and don't worry about what someone else thinks.

i say the blue with silver. the red does pop but where else would you tie that in with your color scheme ya know?

how bout a silver thin stripe down both sides? i know it would look like the KR stripe but i think with that color combo it would look pretty pimp.
gl on whatever you decide to do

I agree. I'm partial on keeping things symmetrical. But it's your car either way It will look sweet.

John.... congrats on getting your stripes fixed.... But here's my 2 cents.

I'm an engineer, so for me, symmetry is king But the way you photoshopped it there, is actually not that bad. I kindda like the red actually... Don't you have the Roush emblem in the grille? That has black and red right? That would tie in.

However, if it were my car, I am a total fan of gunmetal. Gunmetal stripes or matte black stripes go well with Kona, imo.

But either way, I love your car no matter what you do to it

p.s. are you going to fix the area underneath the stripe where the dealer (or someone else I can't remember) gashed it while applying the stripe? I'd get that fixed too if I were you.

I think the blue with a red stripe on both sides would look great, but I also like the one stripe. As long as it has some red touches to tie it in a i think it would look really fantastic

That's where I got the initial idea from and thought it would look cool over the bumper too.
