Default Ghost Striping my Firehawk??
Just wanting some thoughts. Im getting tired of my silver stripes now..and thought Id peal the hood and wing off and do something different. Like Ghost stripes or something. Just mix some Red Flake in my Black Base, Tape off my stripe and just lay it in that area, then Clear over it. Not sure if Ill go through but just a thought!

223,
Are your door badges stainless, or the acrylic mirror?

As for the ghost stripes I think it'd look neat. However you just SOLD me on doing BlackBirds on my Firehawk!!!!

Why not just do flat black decals? would be a lot cheaper in decals and if you don't like it you can just take them off.

Your car looks great the way it sits, I would not change a thing. Sometimes you can do to much and kill a super clean car.
A Procharger would look good on your car.
