glitzy or ghastly ??
I just bought a 96 XJS. It's a beige exterior with a beige interior. It's a lot of beige. I want to jazz it up with a flat black hood stripe. I had my buddy photoshop one on. I think it looks glitzy while my wife thinks it looks ghastly.
We may be able to reach a compromise and have it done in a wrap so if it looks terrible I can just peel it off. What do you think ?? Other suggestions ??

I tried googling [luxury car type] racing stripe... After reviewing many audi's and amg's porsche etc even F types I just can't see it on an XJS not on beige anyway.
Even the TWR white on green is only do-able with full racing livery.
One I do like is this:
R8 matte stripe
Maaaybe a similar stripe on one side? I dont know. I'd be curious to see a similar matte black paint or wrap job on an XJS though.

Rather than the racing stripe you show, I would go for some understated pin striping on the sides ( a couple of shades darker than the beige) rather than large dark paint or anything on the bonnet/hood. The long nose really makes the car what it is and to mess with it will, well, think about the wart or pimple on somebody's nose that you are not supposed to look at or say anything about.
