Default Pinstriping opinions needed!!

Found some pinstriping I really like.. I don't know to how create a poll, so just post your opinions here.. I like the clean simple look and lines of my car but have been wanting to add something to make it pop a little more.. Here's some pics of what I plan/want to do.. LMK what you think, good or bad.. I think I should stick with black as that is the outside theme of the car, but I am open to suggestions..

First pic is just a pic of the car so you know what I'm working with..





I won't be doing the striping on the snorkel, but like the striping under the RAM AIR, will also add the same under the WS6 badge on the rear

yeah, I know... Maybe I am better off just taking it to the pinstriper and have him look it over and make some suggestions.. I don't want to go overboard.. Just some subtle changes..

I do a lot of free hand pinstriping like that as well. IMO it looks classy on about anything, but i am a little biased. I'd go for it, and i'd go ahead and stripe the "snorkel" like that as well. The hatch around the brake light is amazing, whoever did that does very nice work. Go for it!

Rough estimate, if I were to get all the pinstriping shown done what do you think it would cost? Under a grand or more? Thanks..
