I copied this design from the Ferrari F60 American. The growler badge will need to be changed to black for black stripes. I have too much time on my hands over Christmas. LOL.

Looks awesome. Let's see the whole car with the stripes.

This is 100% a matter of opinion. But since you asked us: No from me. The F-type isn’t a stripe type of car.

I think doing it that way would obscure the power hump which is one of my favorite parts of a Jaguar (and any car with a hump in the bonnet for that matter). Jaguar had a crack at designing stripes themselves https://www.jaguar.com/news/f-type-s...phic-pack.html

Personal taste of course, but it's a big no for me. I think it detracts from the pure line of the car.

Looks better than the factory decal option they sell.

The blue F60 America is one of my favorite all time cars. I'm with the majority of the replies, the car looks better without the stripes. I think stripes will look a bit tacky on the f type. Maybe some subtle, less bold, stripes will work.

Default Stripe!

Not usually a fan of decals on cars, but IMO, the stripe looks amazing on my car. Saw it and immediately fell in love!

No stripes. The car needs nothing.

The only stripes I can think of in combination with a F-Type, are those black ones left behind on the asphalt...
That said, it is just a matter of taste, something in which we all differ, and it is your car after all.
You shouldn't even ask us for our opinion - just do what you feel like doing

I may do mine in the spring. What's nice about doing things like this is that if you don't like how it looks, you can just remove it!

I don't mind this at all actually. I've always liked off center stripes for some reason.

Aren't they generally named "go-faster-stripes" .. .. so if you put them on your car, you think its too slow...
