Exclamation F-Bodies with Stripes... in!

Just picked up a red 1998 Z28 and I'm looking at putting some black stripes on it to match the black wheels. I'm debating between two options:

Typical "racing" stripes like this: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-...5/102_9055.jpg

OR

Hockey stripes, like this: http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/7592/z282160qg.jpg

Please post up some info about both. I'm interested in places to buy them, opinions, prices and personal experience.

Thanks in advance folks!

i like the hockey stripes. its something different and since you dont have an SS, id forgo the 35th ani stripes with the checkers unless of course you get an SS hood.

i vote on hockey stripes. Rally Stripes dont look good on cars without the SS hood in my opinion.

I like the "racing" stripes in that first pic cause they come all the way down onto the bumper. Most stripes dont and I think that adds a lot to them!

Your car looks really good Project. Have you thought about putting on blacked out corners on the front, or at leat tinting them? i think that would look killer with the red and black theme, but thats just me.
