Default Text Or No Text?

Been thinking about the paint scheme for my new hood. I got the idea from the Dick Harrell Camaros. There definitely will be black cowl stripes, but not sure about the text, tell me what you think...

stripe



stripe + text "357 c.i."


pinstripe


pinstripe +text


I have the rear of the spoiler black to tie it together:





But if I were to do the pinstripe style, I would have to add a one down the center of the spoiler.

I must agree - that single pinstripe and the added text is my vote!

Ok, I've edited it so it is now single pinstriped. Now to tie the rear together I think I'll paint a center stripe on top of the spoiler and I think it'll look better if the rear is not black but the whole thing is green with a black stripe.... I hope I have enough of the green paint, may have to buy more.
