Default Orange stripes on a white car

Hey all thinking of trading my Z in on a white SS when I get back, I was wondering if anyone has painted their SS intake orange with the single stripe down the rear deck? Ive seen it done many times over in black but I wonder if a nice hugger orange wouldnt look cool. Any one have pics? Opinions? Thanks fellas

It would look good (I'd continue it all the way back though):

That's more of a red but you get the idea. I'd start with vinyl though. You can get the whole set in Hugger Orange here for $100:

Hell NO! After she DROPPED MY NEW REAR END!!! Shes too scared to touch anything car related.

You know I dont understand what it is about those damn lights, I havent even seen them yet and Im already thinkin of doing the whistler mod instead, or even painting the black plastic bright silver or getting it chromed...why cant I just be happy with what I have?

I forgot there were any pictures of the car on here with the orange hood.

I painted the hood with ententions on doing the rear also but ended up not liking the orange and repainted it white. I thought it over powered the rest of the car and stood out to much. I put a dark grey scoop insert to match the custom painted WW grill and thought it flowed with the car better.

Heres is a pic of the look I settled on...
