Default Should I put a Manta on my NBM

I've been tossing the idea around for a while now and I think I may be ready to do it. I'm just wanting to put the stripe on the hood only. The other problem that I'm having is deciding if I want it in black or silver.

What do you guys think? Please post pics of NBM's with the Manta stripe in various colors. Here's a few pics of the car:

Car looks super clean, I'd leave it alone if it was mine. Black would look better than silver IMO.

I think silver would look best. I think it would go well with the headlights, clear corners and rims. But I cant remember if I've ever seen it....a picture would help.

His car is the main reason why I want the Manta but if I remember correctly, he painted his stripes on the car. I would love to do a decal but I'm not sure if the can do the two tone like his, but thanks for the input!

Keep the ideas and pics coming guys.

I would just leave it. It looks amazing as it is.

Some of us get the urges to do it, but in the end you realize its fine the way it is and you just leave it.

...Trust me ive had it.

What if you put a black vinyl manta on and just had a shop outline it in white? That would barely cost anything I would think.
Kinda makeshift but it's the same thing, and it works. Sweet car though

I was going to say silver until I saw that black one with the pinstripe. So now I'll say silver or black w/pinstripe.

I say silver to go with the theme you currently have on your car.
