I think it will look good if done right. It would be nice if you were to make your car a throwback with modernized versions of the older design elements. Like for example... do the stripes the same color and roughly the same location but there should be something different about it. not a copy of the original, but a "homage" to it. BTW, the pics you posted looked alright until you get to the hood where the vinyl looks like its out of place.

I'm leaning that direction.. something like this maybe... (I don't expect it to look so obivious when actually done as it does in this MS paint hack)

Is this any less hideious to everyone's eyes?

I don't like it at all. I've seen 2 stipes on the front fenders of Subies a few times and I really like it for some reason. Whoring someone's car that is amazing (he knows he needs 2 push pins to tidy up the front bumper ):

Looks good on the 6. Not so much on the 8.

I agree. Maybe you should have it custom cut so that it fits the hood in the same way that the real TME Evos do. All VIII's that have been shown so far look okay, they just seem like the decal (when you get to the front/hood area) was made for a different car (which it could have been). BTW don't forget the white wheels. Sure, it may be easier to keep other colors clean, but this is an homage. You don't want to half way it.
