Default Need some C3 Stripe Pics

Before you all beat me senseless for thinking about striping my old girl, I have a crack in the paint running across the top of the tail, and thinking i might mask it with stripes of some sort, while restoring the rest of the car, and then a new paint job in 2 or 3 years. Would love to see some pics of C3's with stripes on hood and tail and/or running front to rear.

BTW, I really dig that paint scheme, it must have those numbers to be perfect! Goes well with the big azz tires and flares
