yeah, i dont really have that much money to spend on it... if i were going to spend tons of money on it, it would be spent on performance upgrades, not appearances. i like it to look good, but would much rather have a fast car as opposed to an awesome looking car. i was just thinking about changing it a little, not really drastically. thanks for the input though. if i had the money, i might do that, (especially after seeing this post, https://ls1tech.com/forums/paint-body-work/681905-kandy-hellfire-ws6-build-thread.html that has to be the most GORGEOUS color i have ever seen!) but i dont, lol. anyways, keep it coming! thanks.

I am not feeling those stripes at all. Maybe if the red was bolder.

Default Not bad

It's a good start. I definetly would get white "trans am" stickers for the doors and the the "pontiac" on the rear. I'm not really a big fan of white stripes b/c it doesn't look too good with the wheels unless they're also white. You might want to think about doing your rims white w/ a chrome lip.

lol. the poll is pretty much useless because everything is really close to tied up (besides the 30th anniversary stripes which is way behind). i kinda expected it to go to one side and most of the people vote for one of them. keep voting, theres only one week left on it.

It is unique but the white hood stripes are a bit much. I voted keep the white stripes but break it up somehow, maybe some red vinyl birds in the middle of the stripes(hood), or a black/grey pinstripe on either side of them to break up the red/white. It's ultimately up to you as too what you like.

keep the voting coming. looks like the leave it all red is starting to take off a little. im kinda thinking about doing that for awhile at least, just have them paint off the white stripes so i can just put vinyl on when i feel like it.

I would either leave the strips or just go with red only. The way it stands now its unique.

I say get rid of those stripes. I think they are ugly as hell and don't look that well done in you pics. everything seems to be wavy. Go with the 30th stripes.

well looks like they stay for now, the front is the only place that they really looked bad-ish, and that will be repainted by my dads work. i dont really want to drop over a $1000 just to get them off, maybe somewhere down the road.
