Default Need opinions/ideas on my ride

I'm looking at my car and need a little something around the scoop area.

Don't know if I should get those stripes/decal whatever that outlines the scoop or if i should get that manta stripe.

or maybe i should stripes?

should I just leave it as is??

What do ya'll think? Can anyone photochop this stuff to see what it would look like?

here's a quick pick of my front end that i just snapped off.

Black manta! Only carry it down the back similar to what Y2K has on his car (or similar to what Tony did on his HOSS). Its been done w/ SOM but man is it a killer look IMO. I say black w/ graphite on the outter stripes would look sick.

If you do that w/ black all around, or black on the center and graphite on the outer I think it'd look

I love that HOSS!!!! Just thought I'd let you all know!!! Anyways, where we? Oh yeah, I'd either leave it how it is or just do the manta and call it a night. Anyways, which ever you decide its your car and you'll like it, if not....start over!

I agree looks good as is - but with those wheels a black manta stripe like the guys showed above would look awesome. Get it painted on tho - I've heard the manta decal is nearly impossible to install yourself!

Blk manta would perfectly fit with your wheels, but I do like it as is.

Damn, can't believe you still haven't sold it.

Your car looks good the way it is but if you really want to do something i would do the manta.
