In the case of very contrasting stripes (like dark green on white), I agree with Mitmaks. I think it'd look weird on a car with no sharp edges. I think you could pull it off though, if the stripe color is close to the background...

I think it'd look great, but you may be onto something about the sharp vs. curvy lines... There's a good reason you see stripes on domestics more than imports. I'll think on it more.

Little side note, this blue is Sexy:

Haha ya, I gotta admit I'm not feeling the stripes, but then I never do really like them haha.... but then, I'm not a fan of green or white, either, so looks like our tastes differ here! Haha
That blue, though, I do like... almost as sexy as 350z blue on an MX :love: (ultimate!)

I've gone from multiple shades of green, to multiple gray, blue, black, white... Even contemplated a low gloss red like this:

Money is the enemy.

I'm pretty positive I want the blue of the last MX-3 image I posted... I found a Honduh color that is damned close to what I want. That, nice dark tint, and gunmetal Powdercoated 5 spoke stock wheels... I think I could live with.

Ah, yep, I know the colour! It's also around on the Liberty & Outback from memory (I think you call that the Legacy over there...? Not sure if your outback has the same name as ours... Its basically a jacked up Liberty wagon here...)
Nice colour, I rate it would look sweet on our cars :)

Judging by the subaru color another you may like is from Ford "Medium Wedgewood". Don't know if it helps any but thats just my two cents :) .
