Default Changing my Cars Appearance a Little

Hey guys im thinking about making some changes to my car. I remember reading the thread about doing flat black stripes on a black car, and i was thinking, what do you guys think about doing a Manta stripe on my car in flat black? I also might do the flat black berger panel also to match. I think its something different and i have not seen another car like that...what do you guys think???

If it were me, I'd carry the stripe to the rear of the car also. It's good to be different

I think this looks good... I think a manta stripe would look good too.

Black SS is as good as it gets bro. I looked a long time for a nice black SS 6 speed and had absolutely no luck finding one.

If I changed anything I'd put chrome wheels on it and an slp grille but I wouldn't mess with the paint.

I would do a silver hood scoop fill in or a silver manta. Not a fan of the flat black look on glossy black.
