Personally, weatherstripping is a component I don't want to draw more attention to. I could see this being a hit for the show-car only circuit, however not really for me.

Have seen the colored weatherstripping in person and it looks great! Was wondering where the person got it. I like it.

It is going to be hit or miss depending on the color. I am not a fan, but then again just about everything done to my car is for "go" purposes except for some low key stuff. I still give you credit for working to get new products out there.

I can't say that I like. However, there will be some that will go for it. I personally like black.

I voted no.. but I think it has a place if your doing a lot of exterior (or at least a single color) update to your engine. Then making them match looks OK.
