go-faster stripes
Racing aesthetic decals
Go-faster stripes are decorative racing stripes painted or applied along the side of a vehicle, suggesting speed and sportiness without actually improving performance.
The term is mildly mocking—implying the owner wants to look fast rather than be fast: He put go-faster stripes on his Honda Civic.
By extension, any cosmetic modification meant to suggest capability it doesn't deliver.
