To stripe? or not to stripe? - large pics inside

Well i need something, i have a bug to mod this thing again. I cant decide if i want to stripe it or not. I am thinking gloss black, matte black, or glossy pearl white.

If i went with white, i want the identical stripes on the cervini mustangs.



If i went with black, again like the cervini stripes OR a blacked out hoods with gloss black or matte black like shown below
Edit - added this POS photoshop to give an idea of black stripes.




Black out hood 1 - glossy



Blackout hood 2 with Matte black



SO pick wich you think would look the best. See the next post for current pics of my car.

I voted Blacked out hood because I think stripes take away form the clean lines of our cars.

I voted for the matte black hood. If you go that route I suggest blacking out the center of the rear decklid with either a vinyl or a SHR panel. JMO.

I think gloss black hood, because it easier to take care of than matte black and that Steeda Q looks hot with that hood stripe!!! I also think it looks the best too. Thats just my two cents, LOL!!

White stripes really pop with that color red.

I agree white stripes look good on it too, but everyone has that combo. do you want to be different? if so, go with blacked out gloss hood.
(Easier maintenance)

black is good on red but loose the pin stripes. thats for a Camero.

other good colors on red are white, silver, titanium, maybe gold, or ghost in red for a stelth effect.

I am not going to tell you were my vote went I think you can guess

The only thing I can offer is to make sure if you go with stripes that you get them painted on....

Everybody on the forums maybe, but in real life not so much.

I like that stripe as well, but they can be had for a lot less than what's listed there.

Though, with the wheels you have, black stripes or the blackout hood might just be the ticket, JMO. With a silver/polished wheel definitely white or even a silver stripe. But that just me. Get what you like thats whats important.

Poco, yours is different being a unique color. You didn't follow the pack and go black...

You, sir, are unique...
