Default Show me your stripes!!

Having recently become the proud owner of a '99 in pure white I'm considering adding some stripes or graphics to make it a real show piece. I was thinking of perhaps one thick or two medium stripes front to back (right over the car not just on the hood - or bonnet as we call it in the UK (why is it both words also double as wierd headgear?? )).
Or alternatively some of those '70's style stars & stripes, Evil Knievel style over the top or flame-like down the side.
What do you all think and anyone got pics they can share?
Cheers all.

White is too classy for stripes. Slam it & add some new wheels.

Thanks so much. Your car was the one on Mike's website that I loved. I remember so well because yours has the fire red stripe instead of the red Mike put on his. I wanted your color. Thanks for the inspiration to do this. I was not sure on doing this but had a complete theme in mind and the stripes were the icing on the cake. I love it and will be very excited to show it soon with its new look.
