Default Opinions please....

I have a 99 white SS and want to dress it up a bit. Here's what I'm thinking:
doing the manta and the hockey stripes in either candy purple or candy blue. But I don't want it to look gaudy.
Thanks

I wouldn't do both, Either the hockey stripes, OR the manta. You might also consider the berger stripes. You might be able to do a manta (hood only) with the bergers aswell, but the hockeys + manta is too "front heavy". I think either color could look good but I would tie it in somewhere else aswell like your calipers or something.

check out 3rdgendecals.com There is a white SS convertible under the 35th section that got the lime green 35th style stripes that made it look really good. Do something like that... no hockey!!!

I agree with others, don't do both. The manta is is poined and matches the lines of the hood, the hockey stripe is blunt and stands out. Doing both would clash and look gaudy.

It's kind of like people that mix non geo-metric shapes like flames with geometric shapes like checkered flag squares. If you like having a schizophrenic paint job then it's OK.

I like the Lime Green as well, but do the stripes only not under the door. I had them make me a hybrid kit (of sorts) cross between the 35th Ann. kit and the 98+ kit. You can see it somewhat in my signature. 3RD Gen did the install as well...couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
