I like the stripes....but it looks like you need longer Blackbird stripes. They seem like they sit waaaay back from the front of the nostrels. It also appears as if they're placed to low....doesn't follow with the lines of the hood.

But your car still looks AWESOME...........

looks way too cluttered.

if you removed all the emblems on the side, door moldings, stripes, and dropped her a little bit it'd be hotness

Too cluttered. I vote leave the blackbird and dump the rally stripes.

i like it, i think they look good, so do the other decals, if you take it off because everyone else wants you too, you will look just like every other t/a out there.

Blackbird stripes looked screwed up because they don't start at the right point.
Side stripes are too vertical. (Plus they are a Chevy/Corvette thing IMO.)
Way too many emblems on the side for me. (But I'm surprised to see so many other people say the same thing. I thought I was the only one who didn't like too many decals & emblems!)
It would be more impressive in my opinion if it were 'cleaner'. Meaning lose the emblems, 'T/A' door emblems, & side molding.

the stripes look outta place because it's the wrong hood, thats not a ws6 style hood and they do not make blackbird stripes for that style hood, they will never look right for that reason. also agree w/ the emblems thing.

It wasnt hard to put on, as for the black bird stripes they were not made for my slp hood. So I did the best I could. I will be removing the hurts badges and side molding saturday, I just hadnt done that when I posted the picks. I will also lower it when I get 600 bucks for shocks and springs. Im only 21 and in college, so after my monthly payment and insurance it takes me a minute to save up for next mod. Prolly could do it quicker if I cut the beer fund down, but I dont see that happening. Anyways thanks for your opinions If I wasnt up for some constructive criticism I wouldnt have made the post.
