i personally think they only look good on a black car as it doesnt stand out to much but like said if you like then do it :) what colour you gone for?

aye mine was window tint and it doesnt stand out as bad + the normal sunstrips are normally dull looking

normal strips fitted on the outside are just gash.

Depending on the MOT centre will decide whether or not your car will pass with a sunstrip that falls below the top of the windscreen wiper line. They are usually more leniant with text as it's not a complete block and you can still see through it. Similar to tinting film. But if you do go for a "legal" strip, which is about 1.5-2" deep, it'll look sh*t :)
