Default Should I do stripes on my SOM?

Some some reason i feel like my SOm needs something in the exterior. Ive been thinking about stripes. everyone tells me it looks just fine the way it is. The way i see it is to a Fbody owner my car might seem bad ***, because they can see the custom modifications being made, but to a average Joe it might seem like just a plain orange camaro.anyways vote for what you guys think looks better. I can use some advice.
here are some pics.

#2.-Ann Silver stripes


#3-Ann w/ side flags


or How about this...I know P told me in the past that i would have change my grill. I made some mods to make it fit my color scheme.Manta w/chrome hood decal and chrome ss hood grill. that way the manta matches the roof and the hood decal brings out some chrom along with the grill.

Um, no side flags especially with Annv flags..

Maybe Annv flags, those are nice.. if you go with those, i suggest getting the black SS front grill...

FWIW that is...

What about a black Dick Harrell type stripe? I don't know how it would look without the widebody kit, though..







And why are the SS emblems backwards?.. lol

Maybe with your wheels that may look good to the untrained eye.

As an SOM owner, I only dig black. And I've considered some double blacks similar to those.. But I don't know..

That doesn't look to bad honestly..

IMO i love the look of manta stripes on SS, I would do a charcoal or silver manta stripe, dont forget to continue the stripe onto the rear spoiler thou, looks great.
