Default Hood Stripes...Need Ideas and pics for type and color

I've been thinking about going for hood stripes and was considering the following...any pics or suggestions on what might look good?


1. Dual medium width stripes from front to back (including roof) ala Pace Car Edition. In thinking about this one I can't decide if black on yellow is better or considering my interior...if RED on yellow is better...I think red may be a bit much...but I'm thinking about it anyway

2. Single wide stripe also from front to back with the same color choices as above...


3. Single wide stripe in black with a very narrow (3/4" or less red strip surrounding it all around)


All of these have something that I like and something that makes me think I'm going to look like a cross between a ricer and a pimp....

I just don't know...anyone got pics or their stripes?

I like the CE-Style stripes and put them on my coupe. I like the black with the yellow the best. Mike00762 or something like that sells them and has pics.

I like your RED ones but on a black car they look really good...

Anyone can post their pics here?

CE stripes look the best for sure.
I'd like to see what a yellow vette with red strips would look like.
or maybe white/silver stripes with the red lip??

The CE stripes from Mike76002 would be a good choice. Lots of colors to choose from and they supposedly are easy to install.

CE stripes for me. See Mike to get a color to match your car. My car gets so many looks just from them.
