Remember it is "each to His/Her own. There are a lot of folks out there in their big 4 door plain vanilla sedans driving around wondering why we would spend the money to drive these totally useless, 2 door, overpowered, fuel burning, cramped, noisy little imported cars in the first place (with or without stripes).

I ask myself the same question sometimes. Even to the point of calling these cars "stupid cars" because of the total cost of ownership and the extreme cost per mile. These cars are not primarily purchased for transportation. These cars are purchased because of the pleasure it gives us as car junkies or car enthusiast. They put a smile on our face and we feel the cost/benefit is justified either because we deserve it or just have the discretionary dollars available to spend on them. I like to think I buy these cars because I hate poverty.

So even you probably modded your car, even with not OEM tires or wheels, its personal.

IMO, the modern Tata Jag (F Type) is so far removed from the E Type they should have used a different name. One has to look very hard to see any resemblance to the E Type or any other Jag. The only car manufacture that stays true to their heritage is Porsche. Unfortunately, Porsche doesn't build a Jag or the best looking cars and the 911 is way over priced.

Stripes? Its about the base color of the car.
IMO, the base color of car determines to me if stripes would look proper or not.
On the silvers and grays I say no stripes. The car looks beautifully formal and stripes would just seem to clash with designed intent.
Now if my FT was green, red or dark blue, I would think those colors just beg for stripes. Those colors IMO are not so formal and the stripes would just set it off very well.
