Default Shorten the stripes, What do you think

Hey Guys,

I liked the stinger stripe on the C7 and the stripes on the rear of the c7 but not the front. So I photoshopped the front to see what the car would like if the stripes stopped at the hood extractor or the end of the hood. What do you think?

Like the last one the best.

Then again, I kinda feel like I'm watching a character from "Cars"

pretty cool thinking

I think I like it up to the extractor best.
Could you try that with the yellow center of the hood stripe in a V so the 2 black join as it hits the extractor?

Number one choice: stop at the stinger. Number two: full stripes. Forget the other

I am not sure exactly what you want me to do with the V stripe. Where do you want the upper part of the V to begin? Based on your description above, I felt like you wanted it to start at the top of the cowl, where the windshield meets the hood; not a lot of room there.

Nope!

I would have preferred they didn't get smaller as they move forward.

sort of like this split stinger stripe from VetteFX but starting with the width of the dual stripes ( I think the split stinger looks more narrow than the dual)
