It's your car and it's up to you, but I wouldn't go with the 30th stripes. If anything, I would go with traditional racing stripes.

My exact opinions. Those rims are FAAAR to big/heavy for these kind of cars. Id rather sport the stockers i see in the bed of that truck

i have some blackbirds on my car and i like them but i like the way the stripes look over the hood/sail panel/spoiler though it kinda pulls the car together, plus do the CETA mod and it will be sweet.

You need black BB stripes, black door emblem overlays, CETA mod and rear "PONTIAC" inserts. That would look so killer, also remove your side molding.

And why would you put a huge, wide stripe right in the middle of a ws.6 hood?
