Thank you both!
I do appreciate the feedback I am very much on the fence..
I do like the side stripes a lot. I get the racer image.. For me they complete the car. I actually think it looks really classy. Either way, I know I can alway take them off if I don't like them. I am really not sure about other accents though like the spoiler and roll bars.
The original inspiration was this:
Then I started looking at images of zanzibar cars and really liked some aspects (like this interior)
That got me thinking about a zanzibar theme... but I have not found any pictures of it being done before. I have a sport design interior and it is the only part of the car that has not aged well. Scratches easily and I am not sure I really like it anyway. I think the orange looks really sharp.
If anything, I think i will start with side stripes and maybe try some interior accents.. not sure. But I think i will go with seal gray for the roll bars. (currently also scratched up sport design speckle)
