Yes, I have all of those and it flows nicely. I've had plenty of compliments but I'm sure anyone that doesn't like it will keep that to themselves anyway. It does make the car appear to look a lot more aggressive but I like it because it shows the lines of the car. If you don't like it you can always reverse it anyway. To be honest, I didn't love it at first but it grew on me.

The performance stripes were on my car when I bought it, but I got it removed as I think it makes the car look cheap and boy-racer'ish....

Yah. I first did not like it, but after having a few appearance mods I would like to actually draw the eyes a little off the large door that these 1 series have...

I believe that the stripe brings out the aggressive aspect of the car just like the performance side skirts do.

Eh. Each person has their opinion. IMHO the performance stripes are subtle but sharpen up the side of the car. And I have an AW 1'er which contrasts well.

I believe that the stripe looks good only if you have the performance side skirts and the CF performance items.

I'd like to see what they look like on Space Gray. I think with them being gray they might look really good. I haven't seen any pics with that combo yet though.

Wow. Good looking hatch! Love the performance parts on it. I think the stripe will contrast well!

The WheelSTO crew did a projekt1 series a little while ago and had the matte black 3M-Di Noc custom made for it....I loved it so put in a call to those guys and had them make me a custom one-time set in CF 3M Di NOC vinyl....it is very subtle and most people don't notice it right away (and I like it that way)....The U of W goober below probably has some contacts in that neck of the woods. I spoke with Johan directly to get it done
