Umm, the side stripe is just a custom version of a hockey stripe? It's thicker, starts on the hood, and swooshes down where the mirror is just like a camaro hockey stripe, and from the looks of the picture it's hard to tell since it's dark, but it looks like it then fades out at the end.

Usually I don't flame other peoples tastes but, not sure what's worse, the too much black, or the high performance huge "ram air" sticker on the windshield
