Question 2 or 4 blackbirds

Ok...so I've decided to do black blackbird stripes on a white 02 ws-6. I was thinking of striping both the inside and outsides of the intakes. does anyone have any pics of this? Any opinions would also be welcome....Thanks

I'm doing my stripes in about two weeks and they're just gonna be on the outsides. I got them from FourthCircleDesigns.com and they look great. (The owner's screen name on tech is Evilface) I personally just don't care for the inside stripes. The actual Blackbirds don't have them either. Just my .02.

Here's a link to some without the insides.

Not digging the inside stripe appearance and it would be hard to get it lined up well enough to make it flow well to your eyes from all angles

I'd go with just two of them. Let the inside contours of the hood flow and do their own thing.

Yeah, I see what you guys mean. I was afraid it would look like a pin stripe suit. It's just that when I look at pics the inside looks... I don't know ...naked.
If that makes any sense.
Ok, we'll try the two..if I don't like it, hell, vinyl is cheap. I'll just try something else, maybe full stripes down the top of the intakes.



Thanks for the brainstorming
