Default POLL: OK, which stripe(s) should I do?

Now we have a poll to keep track. Please make your selection above.

So, I am pretty sure that my C5 Coupe is going to end up painted Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic. I want to paint on BLACK stripe(s) at the same time. What stripe(s) do you think would look best on my new color?....

I really don't want anything that goes down the back, and I want it to all be one color (BLACK), so it looks like these are what I am looking at.....



Left or Right?

Personally, I think the votes would be swayed more toward the better looking one on the left if the picture could reveal just how sikk those stripes look on the ROOF of the car instead of just a plain black splotch on it like the right one.

Make sure whatever you do, get the stencil from Vettestripes.com to get the correct shape. I have seen many body shop tried to make the look alike stripes and the outcome look terrible
With stencil, your body shop would charge you less as well

I like the ones on the left out of the two shown. For my personal it's a Vette you don't need the stripes unless it makes you happy.

Both have merits, but I'm inclined to go "left" for your car. Neat color you picked out, too.
