Default need some suggestions, what do you guys think?

k, here's the deal... lol, this is what i have now:


i want to add this style hood strips to the car (sorry for the bad picture, hopefully you all know what they are, they completely cover the top "bulges" of the Ram Air hood). i'd want to get the strips either in metallic silver (same color as the blackbird strips and other decals on the car), or something like charcoal or gun metal. what do you guys think?



i think it could turn out pretty cool (and semi original? i think), but im not sure. a photo shop would be great too if someone felt nice enough, lol. im also planning on tinting the windows again, if that helps any. but anyway, just curious what you guys all think.

should i or shouldnt i?

i vote leave it. the blackbird stripes look the best imo. you car looks great as is... but i know what it's like to get bored with the appearance, so do what you want if you're looking for a change.

i think having those stripes and the blackbird stripes would be too much, i would just leave it how it is or get one or the other.

Better the way it is now, ...
(And that's coming from a person who has the wider stripes, ...)

thanks for all the comments guys, i guess im gonna leave it.

yeah, it is hard... lol, i get bored and need to do things, and since real performance mods cost real money, lol, and im broke, im reduced atm to appearence stuff.

i only thought about this because of the SS's w/ both types of manta strips on at the same time. i thought that would look bad too at first, but once i saw it i liked it. thats what got me thinking about both types of hood stripes for a bird.

any more comments? anyone want to do a photo shop?

well not to knock the wheels but try a different set perhaps that will change the look of the car overall though the rest of the car looks good to me .........

car looks great as is, keep that formula clean and sleek. if your looking at appearance things maybe paint calipers, clear corner lenses, remove bodyside moldings, just some ideas.
