Default Checkered Blackbird Stripes

Hey guys. I'm trying to do a few things to the Trans Am to set it apart from any other WS6. It's NBM and I have Anthracid Torque Thrust M wheels on it right now (charcoal ish color). Basically I just want some feedback on what you think would look the best. I've been tossing around the idea of some blackbird stripes lately.

If I were to go blackbird stripes they would be a dark metallic grey to match the wheels, and either be the traditional style (top) or checkered style (bottom). What do you guys think? Vote!

I liked the pinstripe ones, solid all the way up, not much into the checkered flag look, it's not a stock car.

I don't like the way those checkered ones look in person. They just don't look right

One idea for you....have you thought about doing stripes along the top of the scoops and possibly make them checkered? I think that would look pretty badass

yeah i've thought about quite a few things and decided that if im going to do anything that it will have to be subtle. you know, something that doesnt scream I HAVE STRIPES!!!! every time you approach in on the road. i think its pretty hard to hate the normal old pinstripe ones but thought i'd see if anyone cared for the checkered ones. does anyone know how dark the charcoal metallic is by any chance? im struggling getting things to match my TTM's. I went out and bought some new duplicolor paint so I could color match my caliper brackets to my wheels, and of course once i sprayed it, its way darker.

Not those, mine are a lot different than the ones this guy is talking about. I had mine custom made and the inside ones are normal stripes.

I dont know...custom

Had a local graphics shop stencil it out and scan it in. They are a bitch to put on because of the way it kinda twists. They tried twice before it went on smooth. But also the guy puttin them on was a noob sooo. If somebody is interested in getting a set they should be in his computer and im sure you could get a set.
