Default New Stripes...Let's get some opinions

I added some stripes on my 2000 SS...Didn't want a lot of flash, just lookin to break up the black. What does everyone think. Pictures aren't that great but you should get the idea.

I like the way the front curves around the scoop, but I don't like how they taper in on the wing. If anything they need to get wider on the rear. Straight out the back would look best. Just my opinion. Looks like a nice ride other than that.

Looks good to me. Not to loud and a nice color choice.

The pattern of the stripes is like the 35th anniv. stripes. I just didn't do the checkered look like the factory

Lol. that could be a good name for it. It is actually a bmw factory color. I was wanting the ghost effect without the candy paint. It has a little bit of metallic in it so it brightens up in the sun

stripes look good because they don't stick out too much!

i like the idea, and i like how you laid out the stripes, but im not sold on the burgandy yet. i look at the pics and i like it, then i look again and im not sure. Bottom line, i def dont think it took anything away from your car.
