Opinions needed please!

I'm a little bored and looking to change the look of the car with something temporary thinking of adding accent stripes,

I dunno. Not feeling it. Sometimes you have to know when to stop when it comes to mods. Personally I really like the way your car looks right now.

I'm not feeling it, either, but if it's reversible, then go for it. Live with it awhile, and see what YOU feel at this point.

If you like it, keep it, if not pull it off. No harm, no foul.

The white might look ok. You could get some pinstriping vinyl and try it. If it sucks, no harm no foul. It's cheap too.

I added some red accents to the side skirts and splitter on my Shark Gray C7. I used 3M stripping tape, so it is easy to remove if I get tired of the look. I say give it a try and see how you like it. The red accents on your Arctic White will give it a GTR Nissmo look.

Thanks! The trim gives your edges some "finality". I tried it and never took it off. I did it myself with automotive pin stripping.

Steven, yours makes sense, but having red (or other random color) edges on the splitter and skirts doesn't make sense to me.

Yes, body color tape/trim on them makes sense, but not the random color that has nothing to do with the rest of the car as some have posted.

I do like them when they are body color.

A little outlining looks good but be careful not to over do it. I played with the idea but ultimately decided not to do it but did have a pin stripe artist do this:
