If I had to choose between the two... GS stripes. The overall look of your car doesn't support the hockey stripes.

But, IMO.. leave it. Pewter's meant to be clean.

Leave it the way it is, if you want to change it, get a SS hood or cowl and SS spoiler imo, then you're set.

I would say it's the modern wheels. Hockey stripes are more a vintage look thing

I say do some 35th 02 stripes, ghost where you can just see them but not to much.

search other cars that are the same color as yours with GS stripes and HS. I LOVE MY HOCKEY STIPES

Get a sunoco hood and do the side stripes on the hood. Then get an ss spoiler and you are set.

I think those hoods will probably be a bit to much, for what I want. Like a clean and simple look

This guy knows exactly what he's talking about plus when you get the ss spoiler try that berger panal again + some chrome fill-in letters
