Default Need some advice on Ram Air Paint scheme

Here is my LT1 with warbird hood TA. As you can see I am going with the black with yellow theme.

I was wondering if someone could give me an idea about two things. What would my car look like with yellow stripes on the ram air

And what would my car look like with yellow "black bird" stripes

Here are the pics. Photoshoppers, feel free to work on this. I would greatly appreciate it.

I think doing full yellow stripes may be too much. Yellow blackbird stripes may look good, but I would have to see it. I think if you did yellow pinstripes to outline where the blackbird would go it could look sweet, and a little different. I have no photoshop skills though, so I can't help you in that dept

i would get clear front running lights, take the trans am badges off, and remove the side molding and it would look perfect to me

Thanks man!!! Yea I think that yellow would be too bright. I think maybe some yellow blackbird stripes like these might look good.

the last guy who told me i should take off my side moldings cause it's ugly accidentally opened my friends vette door RIGHT INTO MY SIDE MOLDING, there's a reason he doesn't hangout with us anymore and there's a reason it's there, unless you want marks up and down your door i'd leave it on. back on topic, what about the smokey and the bandit bird? i think it'd look good with yellow blackbird stripes also
