those are different circumstances, those come with bigger engines in them and are supposed to be modded heavily and are used for races. i also understand where you are coming from but i think that keeping it at a minimum is better. just add the decals that come with the mods if you want but dont broadcast the make of the car you have or the type of car it is. people can see what it is and if they cant then they dont deserve to know what it is. i mean no disrespect on this but i think that the stickers and everything else should be left to the ricers.
again my opinion. "riceing" out a car is usualy used w/ cars that bark but dont bite....If the car can back up the Borla sticker or can be stabilized by an F1 rear spoiler go for it buddy. (although a Civic that looks like a Supra is pushing it a little to far)

If everyone kept their car factory looking, then there wouldn't be much of a car scene around. Their would be hardly any car shows that involved any newer cars and everybody's car would look the same..How much fun is that?

The Striped Brick : I think that the stripes look good, i dont believe stripes make a car look ricey at all. I mean look at Chevelles and other muscle cars, if they have stripes are they ricey, I DONT THINK SO!!

I love the racing stripes. I have been thinking about having some racing stripes painted on mine in a dark metallic blue to match the interior. Your pics only confirmed my thoughts on how it would look

i agree,i think the stripes look cool,and they are not ricey at all...i mean most cars that have these stripes like yours are muscle cars(vipers,mustangs,chevelles,etc.)and i certainly wouldn't call any of them ricey,and i don't think they look ricey on your svt,i was actually considering some on mine down the road...thanx to your pics. i see that if i do decide to,they will look good...

Don't put a non-factory cd player in, don't add speakers, don't get different tires than stock, don't paint the car different, don't add anything to the engine that isn't available stock. If you change anything on your car in a non-factory fashion, you will be a ricer. Boy, i love people like airforce1.

Your pics only confirmed my thoughts on how it would look Thanks SVTMike and just to let you know, my stripes, are vinyl decals, FYI  I say go for it and incase your wondering my stripes are 8" wide w/ a 4" gap in the middle. I wonder how it would look if the stripes were 9" wide w/ a 2" gap  The total amount of space used, incase you didn't figure it out already, is 20" total, which fits right between the washer jets and also fits right inbetween where the hood is somewhat flat, you'll see what I mean Good luck and let me see some pics when its done too!
