Default Black stripes on silver trans am

I just installed my WS9 hood. When the car goes in for the paint job I am going to have the CETA bumper mod done ( the whole rear needs to be repainted, I know I can do the CETA rattle can but I will have the paint shop do it when they paint it) I was also thinking about having solid black stripes painted from the top of the ram air hood to back of the car. When all is said and done the car would have black stripes, black CETA bumper mod, and 18" chrome C6 rims.
I would photo shop what I want but the program I have sucks. So as the title says stripes or no stripes.

stripes would look great as long as:
1) you dont paint them on the sail panel
2) on the front of the car: they are only painted on top of the two ram air scoops, and not down the front bumper
3) they are solid stripes, not blackbird style...
4) they are terminated before the taillight panel (like mine) PIC below of my camaro stripe stopping point.....

with that being said, I say go for it!!!

Thanks for all of the pics and suggestions. I am still undecided on how I will go with the paint job. The good news is DMV will let me put my car back on the road tuesday.
Nobody should ever have to through what I did to get my car back on the road. DMV titled my car wrong I have through 7 months and **** pile of red tape because DMV titled my car nonrepairable after I bought it back from the insurance company, and Clinton wants goverment health, care **** you would go into the hospital for a broken leg and the goverment would label you deceased because of they fucked up your paper work. Imagine the DMV running your health insurnace. Sorry for the rant I got off topic (brother in law is for goverment controling everthing).

I wil post pics after the paint job. I would still like to see some more pics of silver TA's with stripes. Black birds welcome.
