Default Decal opinions

I've got some bad scratches on my scoop and was wanting to put a silver vinyl manta on there for the time being untill I save up for a full paint job. I was feeling with a manta I'd have to take off the Grand Sport stripes to make it look ok. I was thinking Hockey stripes as well but I dont know if it will look to busy. Any thoughts.

I think it would look too busy with all those decals on the car. I tend to think the manta deservs to stand alone.
