the first two looked like the stripes were chopped on. The last(front view) looks really good though. I think your car looks great either way... A little louder with the stripes though.

Yeah man you need stripes there. I might go with silver though since your wheels are chrome. Just my suggestion. Looks great black 2!!

I liked them black, but the itty bitty gap at the back of the cowl drove me nuts. The 346 looks pretty good now though

Exactly. In the first pics you need more black.

How about silver stripes to go with the chrome wheels and clear corners.
