Striped or stripped?

I had this notion to add a set of home-made 1970's R-inspired vinyl racing stripes.

I bought ample material (a real nice, high quality 3M vinyl in off-white matte) and measured the areas I had in mind... but somehow got the cut wrong.  Measure twice, cut once, right?!?!  I was able to fabricate a set that will work on the car, but not in the area I intended, and certainly not the size.  I think I'll think on this a little more before committing.  Here's a gravity assisted mock up:

I know it's only vinyl and can easily be removed, I'm just not sure I want to waste the time to get them on there.  I can think of worse problems...
