Default To stripe OR not to stripe? HELP!!!!!

Ok gang...until I get the 5K for a custom flame job I have been thinking of some stripes. I have been thinking of some really stripes...kinda like what are on the 30th but NO bird and continues to the end of the nostril and rounds around the end. Kinda like the 10th hawk or HURST birds. In sunflower yellow of course. Here is the best pic of the yellow that I have on my WS6 now. It is NOT a bright LEMON yellow by any means.

Any constructive <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> opinions welcomed.

thanks
bob

Hey TravWS6 dude I was the one who posted that pic for ya <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> and yes the car is lowered using SLP bilstein shocks and SLP Eilbach springs. about 1" I would NEVER go any lower with that kit. I scrape the air deflector all the time if I dont watch myself.

Hey bob,
sorry about that bro.. i didn't notice that was u.
But n e way thanx.. i like that kit on black TA's.. still not sure about the full kit.. i was just thinkin the front air dam only.. how much does it exaclty lower it at all if n e on the sides and back?
About your stripes.. your car looks killer as is. But ya i don't think stripes would look bad at all.. only if it stays the same size as the ram air, that pic u posted where the stripes get skinner at the bottom.. i'd prefer wider to match with your painted inserts. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I think it looks good as is, maybe lose the windshield banner. I would say do the stripes if you had a black/grey theme as it is a little more mellow. But too much yellow just takes away from the lines of the car.

Just my opinion, do what YOU like. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
