Default advice: maybe a new look
alright i used to love the way the my car looked but i think its a lil much now plus the 30th style stripes are starting to fade a little ... normally i would just pull them off but i have an slp HO hood and i dont really like the look of it w/out the stripes here are some horrible pics i edited in paint to maybe get the idea of how it would look with just the blackbirds

as it sits now (yea dont mind me standin there)

I've always liked the look you have as now but it may look better without the 30th ann. stripes. Either way it's still gonna look good. And yes I'm down for some different wheels as well
