Default Black Bird Stripes Yes/No
Need opinions, the hood is a Raptor. See pics. Would like to go with silver black bird stripes.

Is the rest of your car blacked out? If yes then I would say go for matte black stripes. That would look pretty good IMO.

See the pics, I have silver overlays for the usual stuff. Front plate cover, door emblems, rear "PONTIAC", air dam.

Definately do the stripes. If your not sure you'll like them, do vinyl stripes to begin with to make sure.

I have the ram air hood and had the blackbird stripes liked them on there but got tired of them after a year so i took them off. IMHO I think that nothing looks better then a nice black trans am. Like both but if you think you might get tired of them i wouldn't do them.

I don't think it would look right on that hood.

i vote no. seems like the smooth curve is what sets that hood apart from the others. a stripe would "ruin" that.
