Default GS stripes or DH stripes?

Some of you may or may not know I am in the process of building a wide body car.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-bod...dy-thread.html

My question is which stripes look better on MY car. I know most of you don't care for my color scheme, but thats not the question here today. I am not sold on having the "McNord" on the DH stripes and am open to suggestion. I just felt that "camaro" or "Z28" was a little generic considering all the other custom stuff I have done. I made several illustrations of my car to help me show what I am talking about. Please let me know what you think. Flame suit on

Alright well McNord, I have to say I've always loved your car. Your hood is a masterpiece. Very good work. I'm sure the wide body will be of the same quality as it already looks like it's coming along beautifully. Anyway, I love your version of the DH stripes. Very curvey in comparison and I think it complements the body lines much nicer. GS stripes then again are subtle and elegant. I'd prefer the Ron Fellows GS versions if I had to go GS, so that may be something to consider. Try a rendering of the RF GS stripes to see if you like that better maybe.

I love your renderings, what program is that?!

Thanks, I like the Ron Fellows stripes too, I had forgotten about those when I did the drawings. I will look into it more Also I used Adobe Illustrator for the artwork.
