Default Opinions on future stripe ideas

After I get my SS hood I want to add some sort stripes to the hood and spoiler. Now keep in mind my filler panel is gloss black with red inlays and I have a silver hockey stripes:



I wanted to put these stripes on with the overlay hood:



I even had a guy photoshop a picture for me but I don't really care for the combo:

Then he did a black one that I liked better:



Now I know I can take my silver hockey stripes off and change to black, or just leave them off for awhile. I just hate taking them off when they are still practically perfect.

OR if I take the hockey stripes off I can always add these in black:



Or even something like this with a black manta and checkered stripes would look good on my red car. I have too many choices haha

Well, either lose the side stripes or don't do any more on top. And IMO any stripes on top are going to look bad with the factory stick on spoiler thing.

Don't let yourself get too carried away or the car is just going to start looking gaudy. The black filler panel already kinda seems odd with the silver stripes.

Less is more in my book.

I guess if I would do the silver 35th le stripes Id more in likely take the hockey stripes off. My main concern was I wasn't sure how the silver stripes would look against the black panel. Or I could remove the silver hockey stripes and do the black 35th le stripes too but im not to sure how that would look. hmmm....

Since you have the black berger panel it looks funny with silver stripes. Light colored stripes don't come off well on red paint unless you stick to the color scheme, and since your berger is gloss black you would be better off with going black stripes to keep a balanced contrast. Those silver stripes are a third color that has no complementing color on your car. Either do black hockey stripes OR hood stripes. Good Luck
