How does the SS Hood with this stripe look?

Ok so i kinda did a ghetto photoshop job of this.

Basically I took the picture of an SS style hood from LMP, and super imposed it on my car...i cleaned it up as best i could, basically all i left was the actual ram air scoop, then I painted a white stripe on my car. Well here are the results, what do you guys think (i know its not the best job, but it the best i could do):

If it were silver instead of white I think you could get away with it. I'd also recommend a SLP grille with the silver embossed SS logo.

Everyone's going to have an opinion. Do what you like, it's your car.

The rear is narrowed 2" per side and in that pic I had 26x11.5 ET Streets on a 16x8 rim. Now I've gone to a 15x10 rim with 28x10.5.

You should do what you want with your car. I get **** all the time for my Hockey Sticks but I love the Hell out of them. IMHO Silver stripes compliment the NBM cars very well.
