Default Kalahari Stripe "YAY" or "NAY"

So I work next door to a place that does vehicle graphics, mainly for advertising and such, so I would assume they could work some magic with basic durable 3M type vinyl.

My question is, what's your opinion on the black stripe seen on the XD Discovery's as well as the car show where they announced the Kalahari Editions (see pics below). Think it would look good, or would it be over the top?

I say do it. It's super cool, but we will probably still find a reason to make fun of you...
