Help me decide (AE86 Aesthetics..)

Just a small question...
Im thinking about retro fitting the side protector strips. My car has none due to it being resprayed many years ago. The thought has never really crossed my mind until recentely. Im after a little more of a factory look, a little something to break up the blue too.
They would be in black, with a white Levin logo at the rear.
What are your opinions? do it or not? If anyone with l337 photoshop skills could help me with an image, would be awesome. Im happy with how it looks now, but always up for a change!
Heres a pic of my car now... (sorry bout huge size)

i vote no fit. Looks perfect the way it is, you have the bumpers and mirrors breaking up the blue already.
now focus on driving it

Best I could do with no photoshop skills. I took the strips of my car pic so its not exactly the right size.

I know but the angle which my car was on in my photo makes strip sit on top of the wheel arch (too long on one end) and is only fixed by putting it the wrong way round.

I reckon the black strips dont look too bad. It breaks up the blue a bit. Nevertheless you car looks fukn awsome, and I wouldn't be stressin.

Cheers guys, I'll go without for now.
I've been looking at it more than i've been driving it lately, getting restless and thats making me think about little things!
I need my new susp so I can get back to driving to get my mind off the looks...
