I can't believe how many people are answering this seriously...how sad are they? Or don't they get sarcasm?
To answer your question - they make a lot of difference. Just the other day I fitted a set to an old Corsa that had belonged to a 60 year old woman and it had never gone over 25mph...moments after fitting them, her grandson wearing a fake burberry cap & 'trackies' managed to get nearly DOUBLE that speed in a 30 zone with 5 of his mates wedged in to it.
Proof! It MUST have been the stripes...

This was a joke, poppy. The paint colour or colours of your car in no way determine how aerodynamic it is. Only the shape has an influence on that.
The stripes might have a psychological impact on your driving, though probably making you burn more petrol, not less...
Sorry.

Painted on stripes will not alter your car's performance in any way, shape or form BUT it can trick the eye to think you're going faster than you actually are. On the bad side you'll probably look like a chav.

They are only for appearance. They will have no affect on the performance of your car. Somebody is trying to make a few extra dollars. Don't buy it.
good luck.

Make sure you install new muffler bearings when you do it or you won't be able to maintain control of the poppet modulator above 75KPH. How long have you been going to that garage? I hope not long because they are "yanking your chain". What a hoot......

Add a huge cheap plastic rear wing spoiler too, they're always good for an extra 200 horses.
