Default Red Stripe on Splitter

Hello,

I picked up this 3m Red Pinstripe molding for $20 at Autozone, and added a little flair to my splitter. I personally like the look, its subtle from a distance and aggressive looking when you get up on it. What led me to this?

The molding will help prevent bump scratches on the splitter, and the kit had length to do like three more if it tears. It also extends the splitter by about 1/8th inch, for what it's worth...Would love to get opinions, good or bad!

Looks rather good! I will be curious how long it holds up.

It's light weight trim and adhesive made for affixing to the exterior of the car, so unless I crash into it or tear at it I'd expect it to last until I took it off. It is really good adhesive!

I was pleased how it seemed to be a color match to the Growler Logo. Even the wife, who was very against it at first, admitted it looked great after all. :-)

I've kind of done the opposite on my cars - the 2 jags are red so I wrapped the sills black but left the edge red.

But on my daughter's Mazda (white) we put on skirts and spoliers (black) and I did as you have - a bead around the edge, but in white. It gives it all better definition, looks pretty good.
