Default Getting my hood painted tomorrow what should I do?

I have a black 98 z28 with a four inch cowl hood that is white at this moment. How should I get it painted? I was thinking paint the hood black with true fire on the sides of the cowl or paint the hood black with the whole cowl ture fire. Which should I do? Here is a pic of the car the way it sits now I am getting this stuff done tomorrow.

side stripes on the sides of the cowl (like on the Dick Harrell cars, or like the guy above has on his red lt1) silver stripes like 35th anniversary stripe color, or maybe white

Black or black with silver or red stripes along the side of the cowl. I think it would look mean.
